Writing a C compiler : build a real programming language from scratch / Sandler, Nora

"An approachable, hands-on tutorial to writing a C compiler and how programming languages work. Readers are gently led step by step to build a small working compiler that continues to develop throughout the book, creating a final program that translates code written by the programmer into code the computer can understand. Writing a C Compiler offers readers an accessible, practical approach to this complex and often overly theoretical topic"--

Learn Java fundamentals : a primer for Java development and programming / Friesen, Jeff

Sharpen your Java skills and boost your potential as an IT specialist. This book introduces you to the basic Java features and APIs needed to prepare for a career in programming and development. You'll first receive an introduction to Java and then explore language features ranging from comments though exception/error handling, focusing mainly on language syntax and a few select syntax-related APIs. This constitutes the heart of the book, and you'll use these building blocks to construct simple Java programs, and learn where Java's implementations of expressions (and operators), and statements diverge from other languages. The final few chapters tour some additional APIs such as the Math class, related types, String and StringBuffer, and System. Along the way you'll discover some interesting programs, such as Graph (a sine/cosine wave-plotting application) and WC (a word-counting application). Two appendixes provide quick references to Java's supported reserved words, and to Java's supported operators. Equipped with this knowledge, Learn Java Fundamentals will provide you the pathway to explore additional APIs on your own, and increase your Java awareness. You will: Understand the basics of Java applications and APIs Study language features such as comments, identifiers, variables, types, and literals Explore operators, expressions, statements, and other key features such as classes, objects, class extension, and class abstraction.

Evasive malware : a field guide to detecting, analyzing, and defeating advanced threats / Cucci, Kyle

We're all aware of Stuxnet, ShadowHammer, Sunburst, and similar attacks that use evasion to remain hidden while defending themselves from detection and analysis. Because advanced threats like these can adapt and, in some cases, self-destruct to evade detection, even the most seasoned investigators can use a little help with analysis now and then. Evasive Malware will introduce you to the evasion techniques used by today's malicious software and show you how to defeat them. Following a crash course on using static and dynamic code analysis to uncover malware's true intentions, you'll learn how malware weaponizes context awareness to detect and skirt virtual machines and sandboxes, plus the various tricks it uses to thwart analysis tools. You'll explore the world of anti-reversing, from anti-disassembly methods and debugging interference to covert code execution and misdirection tactics. You'll also delve into defense evasion, from process injection and rootkits to fileless malware. Finally, you'll dissect encoding, encryption, and the complexities of malware obfuscators and packers to uncover the evil within.
