Look Inside!

The Art of Mac Malware, Volume 2 is a comprehensive guide to the programmatic approaches you can use to detect and protect against macOS malware. 

You'll learn how to write code that gathers data from a macOS system such as running processes, loaded libraries, network connections, and much more, then tour the many techniques used by actual malware specimens to evade detection. Next, you'll programmatically observe the activity on a macOS system and learn how to determine whether any of the collected data indicates an infection by classifying it as benign, anomalous, or clearly suspicious. Finally, you'll put this information together to build your own security tools for macOS, ranging from simple process and network monitors to fully featured products capable of detecting and thwarting even the most sophisticated macOS threats.
