| windows internals 7th edition part 2: Operating Systems William Stallings, 2009 For a one-semester undergraduate course in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. Winner of the 2009 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA)! Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles is a comprehensive and unified introduction to operating systems. By using several innovative tools, Stallings makes it possible to understand critical core concepts that can be fundamentally challenging. The new edition includes the implementation of web based animations to aid visual learners. At key points in the book, students are directed to view an animation and then are provided with assignments to alter the animation input and analyze the results. The concepts are then enhanced and supported by end-of-chapter case studies of UNIX, Linux and Windows Vista. These provide students with a solid understanding of the key mechanisms of modern operating systems and the types of design tradeoffs and decisions involved in OS design. Because they are embedded into the text as end of chapter material, students are able to apply them right at the point of discussion. This approach is equally useful as a basic reference and as an up-to-date survey of the state of the art. |

| windows internals 7th edition part 2: Understanding the Linux Kernel Daniel Pierre Bovet, Marco Cesati, 2002 To thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it's so efficient, you need to delve deep into the heart of the operating system--into the Linux kernel itself. The kernel is Linux--in the case of the Linux operating system, it's the only bit of software to which the term Linux applies. The kernel handles all the requests or completed I/O operations and determines which programs will share its processing time, and in what order. Responsible for the sophisticated memory management of the whole system, the Linux kernel is the force behind the legendary Linux efficiency. The new edition of Understanding the Linux Kernel takes you on a guided tour through the most significant data structures, many algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. Probing beyond the superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Relevant segments of code are dissected and discussed line by line. The book covers more than just the functioning of the code, it explains the theoretical underpinnings for why Linux does things the way it does. The new edition of the book has been updated to cover version 2.4 of the kernel, which is quite different from version 2.2: the virtual memory system is entirely new, support for multiprocessor systems is improved, and whole new classes of hardware devices have been added. The authors explore each new feature in detail. Other topics in the book include: Memory management including file buffering, process swapping, and Direct memory Access (DMA) The Virtual Filesystem and the Second Extended Filesystem Process creation and scheduling Signals, interrupts, and the essential interfaces to device drivers Timing Synchronization in the kernel Interprocess Communication (IPC) Program execution Understanding the Linux Kernel, Second Edition will acquaint you with all the inner workings of Linux, but is more than just an academic exercise. You'll learn what conditions bring out Linux's best performance, and you'll see how it meets the challenge of providing good system response during process scheduling, file access, and memory management in a wide variety of environments. If knowledge is power, then this book will help you make the most of your Linux system. |

It doesn't contain anything besides assembly code, and therefore some x86_64 assembly knowledge is required. How to use this book? Get an assembler (Yasm or Nasm is recommended), and obtain the x86_64 instruction set. Then for every snippet, try to understand what it does. Try to run it with different inputs if you don't understand it in the beginning. Look up for instructions you don't fully know in the Instruction sets PDF. Start from the beginning.

| windows internals 7th edition part 2: Detecting Peripheral-based Attacks on the Host Memory Patrick Stewin, 2014-12-27 This work addresses stealthy peripheral-based attacks on host computers and presents a new approach to detecting them. Peripherals can be regarded as separate systems that have a dedicated processor and dedicated runtime memory to handle their tasks. The book addresses the problem that peripherals generally communicate with the host via the host’s main memory, storing cryptographic keys, passwords, opened files and other sensitive data in the process – an aspect attackers are quick to exploit. Here, stealthy malicious software based on isolated micro-controllers is implemented to conduct an attack analysis, the results of which provide the basis for developing a novel runtime detector. The detector reveals stealthy peripheral-based attacks on the host’s main memory by exploiting certain hardware properties, while a permanent and resource-efficient measurement strategy ensures that the detector is also capable of detecting transient attacks, which can otherwise succeed when the applied strategy only measures intermittently. Attackers exploit this strategy by attacking the system in between two measurements and erasing all traces of the attack before the system is measured again. |
| windows internals 7th edition part 2: Advanced Kernel Mode Programming: APCs In Kernel Mode Apriorit Inc., Artem Kotovsky, 2020-09-17 This e-book was written for developers by Apriorit experts who share their experience working with Asynchronous Procedure Calls (APCs) in kernel mode on Windows and describe what pitfalls to expect. It goes in-depth on how to implement an APC in the Windows 10 kernel, explains the APC delivery scheme, and shows several undocumented ways of working with APCs from kernel mode. An Asynchronous Procedure Call provides a way to execute code within the context of a specific thread. How to use APCs in user mode is well documented, but how to use APCs from kernel mode isn’t. However, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Applying undocumented approaches for working with an APC from a kernel mode driver may lead to unexpected consequences. Therefore, we’ve come up with several methods and used our knowledge and experience to try them all ourselves in order to save your time and efforts. In this e-book, you’ll find: 1. A concise answer to what an APC is and how APCs can be used in Windows systems. 2. Approaches and disadvantages of working with an APC from a kernel mode driver. 3. A safe APC implementation based on reference counting of the kernel object. 4. Examples of using an APC in the Windows kernel. This guide contains detailed descriptions of major approaches to working with an APC from a kernel mode driver, including using only alertable threads, forcing APC delivery, using an unloadable driver, and counting object driver references. It also explores the mechanism of assembler stub implementation for x86 and x64. This e-book will be useful for anyone interested in alternative ways of working with APCs and anyone who wants to learn how to use APCs in the Windows kernel mode.
