Author Michael Ligh was very gracious to send me a review copy of his new book Malware Analyst’s Cookbook and DVD: Tools and Techniques for Fighting Malicious Code. I took a quick browse through it when I opened it and it looks REALLY GOOD. If it’s anything like the articles on Michael’s website, I know I’m in for a damn good read!

I’m planning on starting it this Saturday due to some other priorities so heads up for a review post in the future or check it out for yourself
