Contents note continued: Summary.

As a followup to the best-seller Malware Analyst's Cookbook, experts in IT security bring you a step-by-step guide to memory forensics-now the most sought after skill in the digital forensics and incident response fields. Beginning with introductory concepts and moving toward the advanced, The Art of Memory Forensics: Detecting Malware and Threats in Windows, Linux, and Mac Memory, teaches the art of analysing computer memory (RAM) to solve digital crimes. -- Source other than Library of Congress.
