I am very interested in getting more in depth then just identifying rootkits and malware and using removal tools.
I would like to go out and get malware samples and purposely infect a machine to see what it does and how it works but I am lacking information on what to look for... i.e. how to look at a boot sector and identify bad code in the boot sector, how to get the rootkit samples in the wild, how to check running memory, how to find out what processes it hooks etc. and anyting else related to reversing rootkits and malware that I have not mentioned.
I would really like to get into reversing rootkits and malware as I enjoy fighting it using various tools and/ or manually removing the infections.
Any beginner books to read, tutorials or other information would be greatly appreciated :D
