What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

Really useful for beginners to dive deeper in the field of reverse engineering. I particularly appreciate the details about different malware and what dll / API calls they usually use, etc.

Excellent malware analysis guide from setting up the VM and investigation strategy to IoT, MacOS, Linux, and Android. Highly Recommend!

In the past, I personally gone through some other books/resources to understand the details of concepts like API hooking, DLL/Process Injection, Obfuscation, Kernel-Mode Rootkits & so on...Those other books/resources either get directly into those advanced things (which can be difficult for beginners), or they had explanations using older OS platforms which is good conceptually, but they didn't have things related to today's latest approaches & techniques.Then I came across this "Mastering Malware Analysis" book, now I'm out of words to tell how brilliantly it covered & organized the required concepts as beginner to advanced one after other! 😇I wanted to give quick overview of major 4 parts of this book to help people understand how it greatly aligns & gives you deeper details:In part 1, Fundamental Theory, it starts with most important basics like explaining Malware Analysis, its Types, Strategies, Setup for a safer analysis environment & so on. Then the crucial Assembly Programming makes you familiar with different platforms like x86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SuperH, SPARC etc...In part 2, we dive into Windows Malware to cover details like static/dynamic analysis, Debugging, Behavioral analysis, Unpacking, Decryption & De-obfuscation, Process Injection, API hooking, Anti-RE techniques, Kernel-Mode Rootkits etc.In part 3, Cross-platform & Bytecode-based Malware, we get details about exploits, shellcode, & reversing bytecode languages like .NET, Java etc.In part 4, we dive into IoT & other platforms that cover Linux & IoT Malware, macOS & iOS Threats, Android Malware etc.In the end, I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves to reading & want to get really deeper on various advanced concepts in Cybersecurity with latest high-quality knowledge. Also, as a bonus it covers the majority of popular platforms like Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows etc. so you get all in one package! ✌😊

This book is the second edition of a well-reviewed book on Malware Analysis. The book covers a broad scope of the field of malware analysis, going beyond the basics. It provides a very good overview of how malware works, what it can do, and how to identify them. This covers topics ranging from Basic Static and Dynamic Analysis for x86/x64, Bypassing Anti-Reverse Engineering Techniques, Analyzing Android Malware Samples, and much more! I highly recommend this book for those who are newcomers to the topic and those who want to further their skills in malware analysis and reverse engineering.
