“If you’ve ever mucked about with make and /usr/src on a FreeBSD system or wish to learn more about FreeBSD src and kernel modules, [Designing BSD Rootkits] is well worth checking out.”
—Dru Lavigne, A Year in the Life of a BSD Guru, June 6, 2008

“Kong writes to the practical programmer in all of us…If you understand how rootkits are written and operate, you have a better chance of detecting them or better yet, preventing them from getting on your system in the first place…If you have a basic programming background and this is your first foray into kernel hacking, scoop this book up and head to the check out stand.”
—James Pyles

“In writing [Designing BSD Rootkits] Joseph Kong has given us more than code snippets and links to man pages, he’s given us a path to understanding more about the operating system we use every day.”
—Daemon News

“The best way to learn how something works is to break it and then have to fix it. Designing BSD Rootkits takes that idea to the next level.”
—Michael Lucas

“If you understand C and want to learn how to manipulate the FreeBSD kernel, Designing BSD Rootkits is for you. Peer into the depths of a powerful operating system and bend it to your will!”
