Web Application Security by Andrew Hoffman

In the first edition of this critically acclaimed book, Andrew Hoffman defined the three pillars of application security: reconnaissance, offense, and defense. In this revised and updated second edition, he examines dozens of related topics, from the latest types of attacks and mitigations to threat modeling, the secure software development lifecycle (SSDL/SDLC), and more. Hoffman, senior staff security engineer at Ripple, also provides information regarding exploits and mitigations for several additional web application technologies such as GraphQL, cloud-based deployments, content delivery networks (CDN) and server-side rendering (SSR). Following the curriculum from the first book, this second edition is split into three distinct pillars comprising three separate skill sets: Pillar 1: Recon —Learn techniques for mapping and documenting web applications remotely, including procedures for working with web applications Pillar 2: Offense —Explore methods for attacking web applications using a number of highly effective exploits that have been proven by the best hackers in the world. These skills are valuable when used alongside the skills from Pillar 3. Pillar 3: Defense —Build on skills acquired in the first two parts to construct effective and long-lived mitigations for each of the attacks described in Pillar 2.

Ghost in the Wires - William L. Simon, Steve Wozniak & Kevin Mitnick Cover Art

Ghost in the Wires

Ghost in the Wires My Adventures as the World's Most Wanted Hacker by William L. Simon, Steve Wozniak & Kevin Mitnick

In this "intriguing, insightful and extremely educational" novel, the world's most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data (Frank W. Abagnale). Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information. "Mitnick manages to make breaking computer code sound as action-packed as robbing a bank." -- NPR

Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters - Jack W. Parks, IV Cover Art

Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters

Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters by Jack W. Parks, IV

Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters Pairing routing policy and firewall filters may, at first glance, seem like an odd combination for a routing book, after all, filters are for security and policy is about manipulating route attributes and readvertisement. While route advertisement decisions can impact security, these two topics are more logically bundled into a single book because of the high degree of similarity in their Junos configuration syntax. Knowing one simply helps you learn the other, and given that both are critically important topics in modern IP networks, their synergy should not be ignored. Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters shows how the savvy network administrator can make unified and robust efficiencies using two similar tools from their Junos toolbox. “Jack Parks provides clear, concise descriptions and configuration examples to illustrate basic concepts as well as complex examples that demystify policy and filter operations and capabilities that are not widely understood. this is your chance to finally understand why that nested firewall or Boolean grouped policy did not behave as you expected.”  Harry Reynolds, Author, Senior Test Engineer, Juniper Networks IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO: • Describe the features of policy, firewall filters, and policers in Junos.  • Understand the differences between policy and firewall filters.  • Configure policy, firewall filters, and policers in the Junos CLI.  • Create useful policies for your network. • Understand how policy flow and default policy actions work in Junos.  • Develop a foundation for advanced routing policy topics.  • Create hierarchical policy and chain policy together.  • Create routing policies that share or filter routes with other routers in the network.  Juniper Networks Books are singularly focused on network productivity and efficiency.

iCloud for Beginners - Scott La Counte Cover Art

iCloud for Beginners

iCloud for Beginners A Ridiculously Simple Guide to Online Storage by Scott La Counte

A beginners guide to moving to the cloud. iCloud is something that Apple doesn't talk a lot about but is perhaps their biggest service. It's estimated that nearly 850 million people use it. The thing about it, however, is many people don't even know they're using it. What exactly is it? If you are familiar with Google Drive, then the concept is something you probably already understand. It's an online storage locker. But it's more than that. It is a place where you can store files, and it also syncs everything-so if you send a message on your iPhone, it appears on your MacBook and iPad. If you work on a Keynote presentation from your iPad, you can continue where you left off on your iPhone. iCloud has become even more powerful as our photo library grows. Photos used to be relatively small, but as cameras have advanced, the size goes up. Most photos on your phone are several MB big. iCloud means you can keep the newest ones on your phone and put the older ones in the cloud. It also means you don't have to worry about paying for the phone with the biggest hard drive-in fact, even if you have the biggest hard drive, there's a chance it won't fit all of your photos. This short book will help new users navigate their way around the cloud service.
