      Biography

      Mark Russinovich is a Technical Fellow in the Microsoft Platform and Services Division. Russinovich is a widely recognized expert in Windows operating system internals as well as operating architecture and design. His discovery of a rootkit on popular Sony audio CDs led to industry reforms in the area of computer privacy. Russinovich joined Microsoft when Microsoft acquired Winternals software, the company he cofounded in 1996 and where he worked as Chief Software Architect. Mark is also cofounder of Microsoft Windows Sysinternals, where he writes and publishes dozens of popular Windows administration and diagnostic utilities including Process Monitor, Process Explorer and Autoruns. He previously worked at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center, researching operating system support for web server acceleration and serving as an operating systems expert.

      David A. Solomon is the president of David Solomon Expert Seminars and teaches classes on Windows internals to corporations worldwide, including Microsoft. He is also a regular speaker at Microsoft technical conferences. David was previously a lead developer on the VMS operating system at Digital Equipment Corporation.

      Alex I. Ionescu was the lead kernel developer for ReactOS, an open source clone of Windows XP/2003 written from scratch, where he wrote most of the NT-based kernel. He is now the founder of Winsider Seminars & Solutions Inc., specializing in low-level system software for administrators and developers. Alex teaches Windows internals courses for David Solomon Expert Seminars, notably at Microsoft. He is also very active in the security research community, discovering and reporting several vulnerabilitiesrelated to the Windows kernel and presenting talks at conferences such as Blackhat and Recon.

      Mark and David coauthored the previous editions of this book.

      A great update!by SequenceGuy

      September 05, 2009: I own version 4 of this book, and the team has done a great job on the update. More than just explaining the "new stuff", they also have removed old information that is no longer accurate (after all, the original book was based on Windows 2000), and reexplained things that were not fully understood in the past.

      For example, the details on SuperCache are now more fully detailed out.

      On the down side, I have to wait for version 6 of the book to get better insight on WIndows 7!

      Excellent resource for IT Prosby slider142
