Issue 40: December 2013 - (IN)SECURE Magazine

Summary: Issue 40 of (IN)SECURE Magazine, dated December 2013, is a malware analysis edition with contributions from researchers at AlienVault Labs, FireEye, Kaspersky Lab, Trend Micro and Protegrity. Its table of contents lists articles on how malware became a cyber threat, testing anti-malware products, writing Yara rules, using Tshark for malware detection, evading file-based sandboxes, and shoulder surfing via audio frequencies for Xbox Live passwords.

What's compelling: The issue's article list shows how much of the 2013 malware debate centered on evasion - specifically defeating file-based sandboxes - a technique that remains a direct test of whether detection controls actually see what an attacker is doing.
