Written by leading macOS threat analyst Patrick Wardle, The Art of Mac Malware Analysis covers the knowledge and hands-on skills required to analyze Mac malware. Using real-world examples and references to original research, Part 1 surveys the malware's various infection methods, persistence mechanisms, and capabilities. In Part 2, you'll learn about the static and dynamic analysis tools and techniques needed to examine malware you may find in the wild. Finally, you'll put these lessons into practice by walking through a comprehensive analysis of a complex Mac malware specimen (Part 3).
