LBBCV was by Mark Ludwig.  Also there's a book out by Kris Kaspersky called
Hacker Disassembling Uncovered.
I've heard that a program called IDAPro by DataRescue is a good
disassembler.

I remember from my computer security classes in college a book called
something like "Little Black Book of Viruses" Can't remember who it was
by,
but it was pretty informative. I think it might be available somewhere
online for free.

I would like to learn how to disassemble/analyze virii, trojans, etc.
I've
been teaching myself C and Assembly, but I still have a long way to go.
Can

anybody recommend any books, tutorials, subjects, etc. that would point
me
in the right direction?  I know that it will take a lot of work before I
get

to a point where I can do it, but I am really interested in it.

Thanks for any advice.

john
