What Are Kernel-Mode Rootkits?
www.it-ebooks.info Hacking Exposed™ Malware & Rootkits Reviews “Accessible but not dumbed-down, this latest addition to the Hacking Exposed series is a stellar example of why this series remains one of the best-selling security franchises out there. System administrators and Average Joe computer users alike need to come to grips with the sophistication and stealth of modern malware, and this book calmly and clearly explains the threat.” —Brian Krebs, Reporter for The Washington Post and author of the Security Fix Blog “A harrowing guide to where the bad guys hide, and how you can find them.” —Dan Kaminsky, Director of Penetration Testing, IOActive, Inc. “The authors tackle malware, a deep and diverse issue in computer security, with common terms and relevant examples. Malware is a cold deadly tool in hacking; the authors address it openly, showing its capabilities with direct technical insight. The result is a good read that moves quickly, filling in the gaps even for the knowledgeable reader.” —Christopher Jordan, VP, Threat Intelligence, McAfee; Principal Investigator to DHS Botnet Research “Remember the end-of-semester review sessions where the instructor would go over everything from the whole term in just enough detail so you would understand all the key points, but also leave you with enough references to dig deeper where you wanted? Hacking Exposed Malware & Rootkits resembles this! A top-notch reference for novices and security professionals alike, this book provides just enough detail to explain the topics being presented, but not too much to dissuade those new to security.” —LTC Ron Dodge, U.S. -

Flexible Installability of Android Apps with App-Level Virtualization Based Decomposition
1 Flexible Installability of Android Apps with App-level Virtualization based Decomposition Yi Liu, Yun Ma, and Xuanzhe Liu Abstract With the popularity of smartphones, users are heavily dependent on mobile applications for daily work and entertainments. However, mobile apps are becoming more and more complicated with more features and increasing size, part of which may be redundant to users. Due to the limitation of current installation mechanism, users have to download full-size applications instead of enjoy only the wanted features. Such full-size apps may consume more resources, including CPU, memory, and energy, which may hurt users’ enthusiasm for further installation. We first conduct an empirical study to characterize used features when users interact with mobile applications, and find that users only consume a small set features of target apps. To address this problem, we present AppStarscream, which offers to decompose and run Android apps with app-level virtualization. With AppStarscream, developers can decompose an existing app into multiple bundles, including a base bundle with frequently used pages and feature bundles with inactive pages. Then, end users can just download base bundle for daily use, and visit uninstalled pages on demand. We have implemented a prototype system and evaluated it with real-world apps showing that AppStarscream is efficient and practical. Index Terms App decomposition, App-level virtualization, On-demand installation I. INTRODUCTION In the past decade, we have witnessed the burst of mobile applications (a.k.a., apps). Apps have played an indispensable role in our daily life and work, and even changed the way that we interact with the external world. -
