# Preface Please Don't Forget to Hit ⭐ This book is written for people who want to understand the internals of Malware, its Development and Analysis, and also for security researchers who want to get started in the field of Malware. Note - This book is under process and will be completed/updated regularly as well, as and when I come cross something which needs updation.

Initial topics in each cover mostly theoretical concepts whereas latter ones cover practical concepts or demos on a random malware. It is assumed that the reader is unfamiliar with this topic.
