Filiol E. Computer Viruses. From Theory to Applications 2005 Rep

Textbook in PDF format

The purpose of this book is to propose a teaching approach to understand what computer viruses are and how they work. To do this, three aspects are covered ranging from theoretical fundamentals to practical applications and technical features; fully detailed, commented source codes of viruses as well as inherent applications are proposed. So far, the applications-oriented aspects have hardly ever been addressed through the scarce existing literature devoted to computer viruses.
