Review: Awesome! - Just get it! It is a big book. Loads of stuff, but well writen and very helpful Review: Excellent introduction to malware analysis - Currently working my way through this book. It progresses at a good pace and explains a complex subject well. The authors clearly have a wealth of practical experience in this area and this comes through in the explanations, examples and labs. If you're looking to get into malware analysis, this is probably the best book out there at the moment (Malware Analysts Cookbook is also great).

Very nice book full of details
Very nice book full of details. The only drawback is that a book like this becomes outdated in few weeks due to technical advancement in the field. Recommended.

This is a big stumbling block for budding malware researchers like me, hoping to develop those skills
A very well structured book, guiding the reader through the various steps of malware analysis. However, and this is a big problem, it is old. It recommends Windows XP as the operating system of choice for a malware analysis machine and a lot of the software is either no longer available, does not run on Windows 7 (a compromise between XP and Windows 10) or is now only available commercially. This is a big stumbling block for budding malware researchers like me, hoping to develop those skills. I got up to Chapter 3 and stopped, thoroughly disheartened. The authors (who did a fantastic job with this book some 7-8 years ago) really need to update it. This version will unfortunately languish in my Kindle repository, mostly unread.

A must book for all Malware and Security Researchers
The best book that I have ever read, every topic has a complete coverage of what one should know about the Malware. The best book that every Malware Research should have. I have no words to express my thanks to the authors. A thousand dollar course for few dollar. It worth more than what you pay.

Excellent book
This is a very well-done book. The downloadable content and extensive labs at the end of each chapter are entertaining and give the hands-on opportunity to make the information tangible and useful. It's a 766 page book and around 250 pages are comprehensive walk-through solutions to the labs.

Questionable advertisememt
Not very useful as all labs are now inacessible including the mirrors on github. Definitely the publisher which keeps advertising the book should provide better information beyond the marketing and indicate that you have no actual access to practical content.
