Really liked it

The most practical book on CTI I've ever seen. It contains a lot of information about Cobalt Strike and its usage in the wild. As Cobalt Strike is pretty sophisticated, it represents modern malware very well, I guess.

-1 star for not showing how to port tools and techniques from this book to some other malware types.
