<< Reversing - Secrets of Reverse Engineering >> 是一本关于逆向工程不可多得的好书,谈到了逆向工程的方方面面,如果你有一定的编程经验,对汇编程序不反感,又想了解逆向工程的话,我强烈推荐您读这本书(网上可下载)。
这里仅摘录书中关于恶意软件分类的定义。
malicious software category
Viruses : self-replicating programs that usually have a malicious intent.
Worms: fundamentally similar to a virus in the sense that it is a self-replcating malicious program. The difference is that a worm self-replicates using a netword(such as the Internet), and the replication process doesn't require direct human interaction.
Trojan Horese: The general idea is that a Trojan horse is an innocent artifact openly delivered through the front door when it in fact contains a malicous element hidden somewhere inside of it.
Backdoors: A backdoor is a type of malicious software that creates a(usually covert) access channel that the attaker can use for connecting,controlling,spying,or otherwise interacting with the victim's system.
Adware: Adware is programs that force unsolicited advertising on end users. Gathers various statistics regarding the end user's browsing and shopping habits(sometimes transmitting that data to a centralized server) and uses that information to display targeted ads to the end user.
本文摘录自《Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering》,详细介绍了五种主要恶意软件的定义:病毒,一种通常带有恶意目的的自我复制程序;蠕虫,通过网络自我复制且不需要直接人为交互的恶意程序;特洛伊木马,表面上无辜但实际上隐藏恶意元素的程序;后门,为攻击者创建隐蔽通道以控制或监视受害系统的软件;广告软件,强制向最终用户显示未经请求的广告并收集用户浏览习惯的程序。
