- 610.1
- 610.2
- 610.3
- 610.4
- 610.5

The course description can be found at: SANS: Reverse-Engineering Malware: Malware Analysis Tools and Techniques

I hope to be able to get the aforementioned books in the near future.

There are lost of books I need to read, but there's one that I found at the local Border's the other day that I wish I had the time to sit down and read through:
Hacking Exposed: Computer Forensics

I paged through it for a while, and it was really interesting. . . but, I had to put it down eventually and get back to math books that rival Cisco Press CCIE books in sheer length.

EmpoweredBizTech

I would like to make a run For the MCITP: Virtualization Administrator as such my list is the following

1) Mastering Microsoft Virtualization
2) Mastering Virtual Machine Manager 2008 RS
3) Mastering Hyper-V Deployment
4) Sybex 70-652

Ohh yea and I'm going to be taking VCP Classes over the summer this is very aggressive but we shall see.

rogue2shadow

@Jin, Bl8ck: Betjlich is a beast! I need to finish the Bash scripting, awk and sed sections of the Sobell book and about 7 chapters of the Web app hacker's book. I also forgot the Backtrack book on my wishlist .

I think Mastering Microsoft Virtualization is really all you need for MCITP: VA (70-659/669/693). It's even enough for 70-403... SCVMM is just not that complicated so you can learn it well enough with that book and lab time. The Sybex 70-652 Study Guide is perfect for 70-652, but don't rely on it for 659.

Good luck. I suggest you check out Mastering VMware vSphere 4.

+1 Limoncelli should be required reading for everyone in IT, especially the Time Management Book.

POSNA I could I be a little more forgiving on, it's a weighty tome, but it's still worth it's weight in gold. The day I got my copy, I took it into work (was at a previous job) and started reading excerpts in the NOC, generally those regarding good practices.

We had a good laugh, and all agreed that management should read this book. We also agreed it was good we had no alcohol on hand, because we could have made one hell of a drinking game for everything we were doing wrong, as illustrated by POSNA

As far as the post goes... to be honest, I have so many 'to be read' books, it's not funny. I keep picking up new stuff before I finish the old stuff. My wishlist used to be absolutely massive, but then I bought most of it up.

However, I am eagerly awaiting

Amazon.com: A Dance with Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Five (9780553801477): George R.R. Martin: Books

As far as tech books go, now that the Safar iPad app isn't a total piece of trash, I'm seriously considering a subscription.

I need this one
Amazon.com: Network Administrators Survival Guide (978158705211: Anand Deveriya: Books

Seems to give a high level overview of how to administer a growing network without requiring specialist knowledge or dumbing things down to the point where its just a jargon builder.

It's a good book. It's a little dated, but it's still got some useful info, and makes a good jumping off point

This is the book that just keeps on giving! I just passed 70-656 (TS: Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, Configuring) and the critical exam objectives are covered in this book. Basically, 656 is an App-V exam with minimal coverage of the other MDOP components (AGPM, DEM, AIS, etc... see Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack). If you go through the App-V section of the book, then review some TechNet articles and do the MDOP Virtual Labs (Windows 7 Virtual Labs), you should be able to pass 70-656.

So based on my experience, I think Mastering Microsoft Virtualization is enough for 70-652, 659, 669, 693, 403, and 656. Granted you probably wouldn't take both 652 and 659, but still, one book for five exams is great!

This is the best PoSh book I have read to date. If you are a SharePoint admin you need this book.

I used to be like that with beer, opening another one before finishing the last one.

Updating my MSCE so I guess I'm just waiting for the MSpress book to arrive. Sure isn't a wish though.

Anonymous got lucky. When five of its hackers attacked security company HBGary Federal on February 6, 2011, they were doing so in order to defend the group’s privacy. It wasn’t because they hoped to reveal plans to attack WikiLeaks, create surveillance cells targeting pro-union organizations, and sell sophisticated rootkits to the US government for use as offensive cyber weapons—but that’s what they found.

In the weeks after the attack, the hackers released tens of thousands of e-mail messages and made headlines around the world. Aaron Bar, the CEO of HBGary Federal, eventually resigned; 12 Congressman called for an investigation; an ethics complaint was lodged against a major DC law firm involved with some of the more dubious plans.

Join Ars' editors as they dig into the secret world of Anonymous and hackers for hire in Unmasked.

This looks really interesting. Anyone read it yet?

Slowhand

I have to admit, I've had this on my wishlist for a while, as well: Zero Day: A Novel.

On the one hand, it looks to be another attempt to make hacking into an Ocean's 11 style heist, in the flavor of Tom Clancy style political intrigue. On the other, it's written by Mark Russinovich. I might pick it up sometime soon, just to sate my curiosity.

I really need to get these.
