The Giant Black Book of Computer Viruses by {mark ludwig}.pdf

This book is a systematic course on the design of viruses and anti-virus programs. It takes the reader step-by-step from a very simple virus that is only 44 bytes long right up to programming viruses for Windows, OS/2 and Unix, as well as viruses that use advanced features such as stealthing, polymorphism and retaliation. The book includes a section on techniques used to combat viruses, as well as a section on payloads which include logic bombs, security compromises, as well as beneficial payloads. This book includes complete source code for the beneficial virus KOH, which encrypts the hard disk of a computer and provides access security.
