Malware Narratives: An Introduction, Revised Edition

by Dmitry Vostokov, Software Diagnostics Services

Overview

Software Narratology, the science of software stories, found its successful application in software diagnostics of abnormal software behavior, especially in the pattern-oriented analysis of software logs from complex systems with millions of events, thousands of threads, hundreds of processes and modules. This is a revised and updated transcript of the Software Diagnostics Services seminar on the new application of software narratology to malware analysis.
