Mebroot - the MBR rootkit - is one of the most advanced and stealthiest malware seen to date. It operates in the lowest levels of the operating system, uses many undocumented tricks and relies heavily on unexported functions and global variables. In this article Elia Florio and Kimmo Kasslin track the rise of the MBR rootkit.
