   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.

   I have reverse engineered several zero-day malware specimens with the help of this book. I am now excited whenever unsolicited email arrives in my inbox!
