Linux Essentials for Cybersecurity Lab ManualWilliam Rothwell
This lab manual accompanies the textbook Linux Essentials for Cybersecurity , which teaches people how to use Linux systems and ensures that the Linux systems they work on are as secure as possible. To really become a Linux cybersecurity expert, you need practice. In this book, there are three different types of labs to practice your skills: Labs in which you are presented with a short problem that requires only a single operation to complete. Labs that are more complex but in which we provide you with a guide to perform each step, one at a time. Scenario labs in which you are asked to solve a problem entirely on your own. These labs are designed to pose a greater challenge. No matter the type, these labs are designed to be performed on live Linux systems to give you hands-on practice and develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills.

55+ iPhone 5 Quick-Start Tips and Tricks to Get You Started With Your PhoneScott La Counte
My parents are official iPhone users. I began writing this book when I realized that they could make phone calls and take pictures, but didn’t have the faintest idea how to make the text size bigger on their text messages or a number of other things that I thought were common sense after using the phone for a day. I decided to make a list for them and this book is a result of that. If you have been using Apple products for several years, then this book will probably have a few tricks that you didn’t know—especially if you are upgrading to the new OS (iOS 6). The book, however, is geared towards those getting started. This book is meant to be a quick start reference. It’s not a tutorial on how to use your phone. If you are looking for something that is more hands on and teaches you how to use the phone from square one, then you should try the beginners’ handbook which I have also written: The iPhone 5 Quick Starter Guide. Additionally, if you’d like to just see what major things have been added to iOS 6 then jump to the last section which is just for your reference and does not count towards the 50+ tips in this short guide.

A Beginners Guide to Using Mac OS X (10.10) YosemiteKatie Morris & GadChick
Apple Maps. Robert Downey Jr. Detroit. These are a few examples of great things that just needed some hard work and a fresh look to really explode. After OS X Mavericks was met with indifference, many worried that future OS X updates would continue to be a steady stream of minor upgrades and tweaks. Continuing the new naming convention of Californian locations, the new iteration will be dubbed ‘Yosemite’ after California’s beloved national park, with no relation to a certain Looney Tunes character. With OS X Yosemite, Apple is showing the world that OS X is not doomed to incremental upgrades, and diligently went through everything “feature by feature, pixel by pixel” to create a totally new and improved makeover for an old friend. If you’ve used any OS X version before, there’s no way you’ll feel totally lost as you forage through Yosemite but your computer will definitely look and feel like a brand new system. There are many new changes both aesthetic and mechanical, and this guide will take you through it all whether you're an OS X spring chicken or a grizzled Mac veteran. If this is your first Apple computer (congrats on making the jump by the way!), we will also detail how to switch everything over from your old PC, and show you the differences between Windows and Mac. If you are ready to learn the ins and outs of OS X Yosemite, grab a fresh cup of coffee (decaf if it’s late) and let’s get to work.

iOS 7 Upgrade GuideMacworld Editors

This guide packs in everything that’s new in iOS 7, how to upgrade, and more.

In the Beginning...Was the Command LineNeal Stephenson
This is "the Word" -- one man's word, certainly -- about the art (and artifice) of the state of our computer-centric existence. And considering that the "one man" is Neal Stephenson, "the hacker Hemingway" (Newsweek) -- acclaimed novelist, pragmatist, seer, nerd-friendly philosopher, and nationally bestselling author of groundbreaking literary works (Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, etc., etc.) -- the word is well worth hearing. Mostly well-reasoned examination and partial rant, Stephenson's In the Beginning... was the Command Line is a thoughtful, irreverent, hilarious treatise on the cyber-culture past and present; on operating system tyrannies and downloaded popular revolutions; on the Internet, Disney World, Big Bangs, not to mention the meaning of life itself.
