Assessing Information Security: Strategies, Tactics, Logic and Framework - PDF

Book Description
What do information security and the art of war have in common?
The answer, this book argues, is a great deal. Although the authors have an expert technical knowledge of information security, they strongly believe that technical and procedural measures cannot offer a solution on their own.

The human factor
Information security is not painting by numbers. You can tick all the right boxes and acquire the latest technology, and you may fail all the same. This is because information security is ultimately a human problem, not a technical one. In the end, the threats to your information security come from human beings, not from machines. Although one problem you will face is simple human error, the major threat to your business information is from the criminal.

Fight Cybercrime
Cybercrime is on the move. It is in a state of constant evolution, capable of adapting both to developments in technology and to whatever security measures its targets have already put in place. It will seek out your weak points in order to exploit them for its own advantage. However, although the people who want to harm your business will try to take you by surprise, they are also bound to have weaknesses of their own. Because the activity of the cybercriminal is both deliberate and hostile, they can be compared to a military adversary. So if you want to defend yourself from cybercrime you can learn from military strategy.

Leadership
Fighting cybercrime is about more than bureaucracy and compliance. Your company's approach to information security has to be integrated with your overall business goals. The people at the top have to provide leadership, while the people at the bottom need to understand the company's information security policy and be able to show initiative when faced with an unexpected attack. If you want to take active steps to deter the cybercriminal, then this book is for you. It will help you plan the right strategy for defending your business from cybercrime.

Strategy
Business is an intensely competitive environment. This is why so many executives enjoy the insights that the classics of military strategy, such as Clausewitz and Sun Tzu, provide on how to win. The authors of this book have drawn on Clausewitz in order to interpret the detailed knowledge of information security they have built up through their extensive experience in the field. The result is expert guidance on information security, underpinned by a profound understanding of human conflict.

Benefits to business include:

• Protect your business information. If you do not carry out proper checks, then something will go badly wrong, and your business will suffer. Use this book to help you understand the best way to implement an information security assessment.
• Spend money wisely. Information security is not just about having the right equipment. Before you go spending money on fancy gadgets and expensive software, you need to understand what your priorities are, and work out which security measures will be the most effective in protecting your business information.
• Learn to adapt. The reality is that your business information is not stored in a fixed, fortified place like a castle. Your employees could be blackmailed or bribed, or their company laptops may be hacked into or stolen when they are travelling abroad. So, to protect your company's business information, you must avoid a fortress mentality and be capable of adapting to an ever-changing environment.
• Prepare to fight back. Defending your company from malicious hackers, or corrupt and embittered employees, is not just a matter of putting appropriate security structures in place. Criminals go for soft targets, but, if they know your company is ready to fight back, they will be deterred from attacking it. When you know how to identify suspicious behaviour among your staff, you will be in a stronger position to prosecute them for any offence against your company.

As the authors argue, 'An information security professional is engaged in a form of continuous warfare which is defensive by its very nature. The aim of this "combat" is not to give an inch of the protected "territory" (data, systems, resources) to the adversaries. '

Securing the Smart Grid: Next Generation Power Grid Security - pdf

Book Description
Smart Grids are the future of energy. By creating networks from power plant to home, utility companies will be able to regulate power consumption making sure that consumers are receiving the amount that is needed, no more or less. While this new use of networking technology and unique applications such as smart meters will help to conserve energy it also opens up a pipeline, that was regulated manually, into the computer world of interconnected networks. The infrastructure that is being built will need to have robust security as an attack on this network could create chaos to tens of thousands of power consumers, stop a utility company in its tracks, or be used in a cyberwar.

Securing the Smart Grid takes a look at grid security today, how it is developing and being deployed into now over 10 million households in the US alone. Direct attacks to smart meters as well as attacks via the networks will be detailed along with suggestions for defense against them. A framework for how security should be implemented throughout this growing system will be included directing security consultants, and system and network architects on how to keep the grid strong against attackers big and small.

• Details how old and new hacking techniques can be used against the grid and how to defend against them
• Discusses current security initiatives and how they fall short of what is needed
• Find out how hackers can use the new infrastructure against itself

Review
"The first step in securing the Smart Grid is to fully understand the threat landscape. This book provides both a timely and relevant overview of the subject – a must-read for anyone responsible for securing the grid as well as consumers looking to implement the technology!."
– Dr. Patrick Engebretson, Assistant Professor of Computer Security, Dakota State University.

Book Description
For the first time, Deviant Ollam, one of the security industry's best-known lockpicking teachers, has assembled an instructional manual geared specifically toward penetration testers. Unlike other texts on the subject (which tend to be either massive volumes detailing every conceivable style of lock or brief "spy manuals" that only skim the surface) this book is for INFOSEC professionals that need essential, core knowledge of lockpicking and seek the ability to open most locks with relative ease. Deviant's material is presented with rich, detailed diagrams and is offered in easy-to-follow lessons which allow even beginners to acquire the knowledge very quickly. Everything from straightforward lockpicking to quick-entry techniques like shimming, bumping, and bypassing is explained and shown.Whether you're being hired to penetrate security or simply trying to harden your own defenses, this book is essential.

• Detailed photos make learning as easy as picking a lock
• DVD is filled with indispensible lock picking videos and color photos
• Extensive appendix details tools and toolkits currently available for all your lock picking needs

Review
"Practical Lock Picking (PLP) is an awesome book. I don't provide physical testing services, but as a security professional familiar with Deviant's reputation I was curious to read PLP. Not only is PLP an incredible resource, it should also serve as a model text for others who want to write a good book. First, although the book is less than 250 pages, it is very reasonably priced. Second, Deviant wastes NO space. There is no filler material, background found in other readily available texts, reprinted Web site content, etc. Third, the writing is exceptionally clear and methodical, with extreme attention to detail and a master's approach to educating the reader. Finally, the diagrams, pictures, and figures are superb."
–Richard Bejtlich, TaoSecurity

"No matter what your background is, if you want a new and fascinating insight into this world, I don't think any book will give you a better introduction to this field than this one."
–Barry Wels, Founder and President, The open Organisation Of Lockpickers

"You have exhausted your budgets on the myriad of high tech cyber threats and finally have time to take a breath. Just as you settle in your chair to review the dashboard which shows the fruits of your tireless effort, an alert hits your phone. The voice on the phone cries out 'The servers are GONE!' This book will show you what happens when attackers decide to 'get physical."
–Chris Nickerson, Lares Consulting

"The clear explanation and plentiful diagrams leave the reader with a clear idea of how lock mechanisms work, and the practice exercises that follow build on this knowledge to allow the reader to quickly progress before moving on to the simpler techniques, shimming and bumping…Overall the book does much to dispel the myth that lock-picking is an arcane, difficult art and puts the reader in a position to carry out more effective physical security reviews…In summary this is an excellent practical introduction to the subject and the publishers are to be congratulated for producing another good niche penetration testing book."
–Nick Dunn, BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT

Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications - PDF

Book Description
Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with  apparent ease. However, despite all of the recent advances in computer  vision research, the dream of having a computer interpret an image at  the same level as a two-year old remains elusive. Why is computer vision  such a challenging problem and what is the current state of the art?

Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications explores the variety of techniques commonly used to analyze and  interpret images. It also describes challenging real-world applications  where vision is being successfully used, both for specialized  applications such as medical imaging, and for fun, consumer-level tasks  such as image editing and stitching, which students can apply to their  own personal photos and videos.

More than just a source of  "recipes," this exceptionally authoritative and comprehensive  textbook/reference also takes a scientific approach to basic vision  problems, formulating physical models of the imaging process before  inverting them to produce descriptions of a scene. These problems are  also analyzed using statistical models and solved using rigorous  engineering techniques

Topics and features:

• Structured  to support active curricula and project-oriented courses, with tips in  the Introduction for using the book in a variety of customized courses
• Presents  exercises at the end of each chapter with a heavy emphasis on testing  algorithms and containing numerous suggestions for small mid-term  projects
• Provides additional material and more detailed  mathematical topics in the Appendices, which cover linear algebra,  numerical techniques, and Bayesian estimation theory
• Suggests  additional reading at the end of each chapter, including the latest  research in each sub-field, in addition to a full Bibliography at the  end of the book
• Supplies supplementary course material for students at the associated website, http://szeliski.org/Book/

Suitable  for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level course in computer  science or engineering, this textbook focuses on basic techniques that  work under real-world conditions and encourages students to push their  creative boundaries. Its design and exposition also make it eminently  suitable as a unique reference to the fundamental techniques and current  research literature in computer vision.

Essential SQLAlchemy - PDF

Book Description
Essential SQLAlchemy introduces a high-level  open-source code library that makes it easier for Python programmers to  access relational databases such as Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and  SQLite. SQLAlchemy has become increasingly popular since its release,  but it still lacks good offline documentation. This practical book fills  the gap, and because a developer wrote it, you get an objective look at  SQLAlchemy's tools rather than an advocate's description of all the  "cool" features.

SQLAlchemy includes both a database  server-independent SQL expression language and an object-relational  mapper (ORM) that lets you map "plain old Python objects" (POPOs) to  database tables without substantially changing your existing Python  code. Essential SQLAlchemy demonstrates how to use the library to  create a simple database application, walks you through simple queries,  and explains how to use SQLAlchemy to connect to multiple databases  simultaneously with the same Metadata. You also learn how to:

• Create custom types to be used in your schema, and when it's useful to use custom rather than built-in types
• Run queries, updates, and deletes with SQLAlchemy's SQL expression language
• Build  an object mapper with SQLAlchemy, and understand the differences  between this and active record patterns used in other ORMs
• Create objects, save them to a session, and flush them to the database
• Use SQLAlchemy to model object oriented inheritance
• Provide a declarative, active record pattern for use with SQLAlchemy using the Elixir extension
• Use the SQLSoup extension to provide an automatic metadata and object model based on database reflection

In  addition, you'll learn how and when to use other extensions to  SQLAlchemy, including AssociationProxy, OrderingList, and more.

Essential SQLAlchemy is the much-needed guide for every Python developer using this code  library. Instead of a feature-by-feature documentation, this book takes  an "essentials" approach that gives you exactly what you need to become  productive with SQLAlchemy right away.

Transactional Memory, 2nd Edition - PDF

Book Description
The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea  of incorporating transactions into the programming model used to write  parallel programs. This approach, known as transactional memory, offers  an alternative, and hopefully better, way to coordinate concurrent  threads. The ACI (atomicity, consistency, isolation) properties of  transactions provide a foundation to ensure that concurrent reads and  writes of shared data do not produce inconsistent or incorrect results.  At a higher level, a computation wrapped in a transaction executes  atomically – either it completes successfully and commits its result in  its entirety or it aborts. In addition, isolation ensures the  transaction produces the same result as if no other transactions were  executing concurrently. Although transactions are not a parallel  programming panacea, they shift much of the burden of synchronizing and  coordinating parallel computations from a programmer to a compiler, to a  language runtime system, or to hardware. The challenge for the system  implementers is to build an efficient transactional memory  infrastructure. This book presents an overview of the state of the art  in the design and implementation of transactional memory systems, as of  early spring 2010.

1. Introduction
2. Basic Transactions
3. Building on Basic Transactions
4. Software  Transactional Memory
5. Hardware-Supported Transactional Memory

Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python, 2nd Edition - PDF

Book Description
"Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" is a free book (as in, open source) and a free eBook (as in, no cost to download) that teaches you how to program in the Python programming language. Each chapter gives you the complete source code for a new game, and then teaches the programming concepts from the example.

"Invent with Python" was written to be understandable by kids as  young as 10 to 12 years old, although it is great for anyone of any age  who has never programmed before.

This second edition has revised and expanded content, including a Pygame tutorial library to make games with graphics, animation, and sound.

Reviews
"This book is totally appropriate for someone who has never programmed before. Everything is explained, right from the ground up, in a lively, interesting style which doesn't dumb things down."
– J. Hartley, tartley.com

"I am a college professor who occasionally teaches courses for liberal arts students. [...] I offered a game programming course in the Python programming language using Sweigart's book. The students loved this book. It starts at the very beginning and leads them, game by fascinating game, to become highly capable programmers."
– Dr. Robert C. Gann

"I picked up a copy of this book and was in all honesty blown away by how easy the concepts of python are introduced to the reader in a clear and concise manner. The fact that you are also making small little games with your programs throughout this book helps with motivation as tasks get harder and harder – it keeps it all fun while learning. [...] I e-mailed the author and got great personal help to advance further – that was of course much appreciated as well."
– Tor Hagen

"This Spring, we used this book for six weeks of a homeschool "Physics and Modeling" class. I am extremely happy with the book. It received many compliments from the students for ease of use, the hands-on approach, and the fact that game programming starts right away."
– Maria A. Droujkova naturalmath.com

"I used to write a column on a greek magazine about learning Python and PyGame. [...] Since I found this book, every time the topic of learning programming is mentioned – especially from a person interested on making games – I point people to it."
– Konstantinos Michalopoulos

Introduction to Algorithms, 3rd Edition - PDF

Book Description
Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad  range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis  accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively  self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are  described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by  anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been  kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical  rigor.

The first edition became a widely used text in  universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for  professionals. The second edition featured new chapters on the role of  algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear  programming. The third edition has been revised and updated throughout.  It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and  multithreaded algorithms, and substantial additions to the chapter on  recurrences (now called "Divide-and-Conquer"). It features improved  treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion  of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many new exercises  and problems have been added for this edition.

As of the third edition, this textbook is published exclusively by the MIT Press.

Review
"In light of the explosive growth in the amount of data and the  diversity of computing applications, efficient algorithms are needed now  more than ever. This beautifully written, thoughtfully organized book  is the definitive introductory book on the design and analysis of  algorithms. The first half offers an effective method to teach and study  algorithms; the second half then engages more advanced readers and  curious students with compelling material on both the possibilities and  the challenges in this fascinating field."
—Shang-Hua Teng, University of Southern California

"Introduction to Algorithms, the 'bible' of the field, is a comprehensive textbook covering the full  spectrum of modern algorithms: from the fastest algorithms and data  structures to polynomial-time algorithms for seemingly intractable  problems, from classical algorithms in graph theory to special  algorithms for string matching, computational geometry, and number  theory. The revised third edition notably adds a chapter on van Emde  Boas trees, one of the most useful data structures, and on multithreaded  algorithms, a topic of increasing importance."
—Daniel Spielman, Department of Computer Science, Yale University

"As  an educator and researcher in the field of algorithms for over two  decades, I can unequivocally say that the Cormen book is the best  textbook that I have ever seen on this subject. It offers an incisive,  encyclopedic, and modern treatment of algorithms, and our department  will continue to use it for teaching at both the graduate and  undergraduate levels, as well as a reliable research reference."
—Gabriel Robins, Department of Computer Science, University of Virginia

The Art of Assembly Language, 2nd Edition - PDF

Book Description
Assembly is a low-level programming language that's one step above a  computer's native machine language. Although assembly language is  commonly used for writing device drivers, emulators, and video games,  many programmers find its somewhat unfriendly syntax intimidating to  learn and use.

Since 1996, Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language has provided a comprehensive, plain-English, and patient introduction  to assembly for non-assembly programmers. Hyde's primary teaching tool,  High Level Assembler (or HLA), incorporates many of the features found  in high-level languages (like C, C++, and Java) to help you quickly  grasp basic assembly concepts. HLA lets you write true low-level code  while enjoying the benefits of high-level language programming.

As you read The Art of Assembly Language,  you'll learn the low-level theory fundamental to computer science and  turn that understanding into real, functional code. You'll learn how to:

• Edit, compile, and run an HLA program
• Declare and use constants, scalar variables, pointers, arrays, structures, unions, and namespaces
• Translate arithmetic expressions (integer and floating point)
• Convert high-level control structures

This much anticipated second edition of The Art of Assembly Language has been updated to reflect recent changes to HLA and to support Linux,  Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. Whether you're new to programming or you have  experience with high-level languages, The Art of Assembly Language, 2nd Edition is your essential guide to learning this complex, low-level language.

Notes on Digital Signal Processing: Practical Recipes for Design, Analysis and Implementation - pdf

Book Description
The Most Complete, Modern, and Useful Collection of DSP Recipes:  More Than 50 Practical Solutions and More than 30 Summaries of Pertinent  Mathematical Concepts for Working Engineers

Notes on Digital Signal Processing is a comprehensive, easy-to-use collection of step-by-step procedures  for designing and implementing modern DSP solutions. Leading DSP expert  and IEEE Signal Processing Magazine associate editor C. Britton  Rorabaugh goes far beyond the basic procedures found in other books  while providing the supporting explanations and mathematical materials  needed for a deeper understanding.

Rorabaugh  covers the full spectrum of challenges working engineers are likely to  encounter and delves into crucial DSP nuances discussed nowhere else.  Readers will find valuable, tested recipes for working with multiple  sampling techniques; Fourier analysis and fast Fourier transforms;  window functions; classical spectrum analysis; FIR and IIR filter  design; analog prototype filters; z-transform analysis; multirate and statistical signal processing; bandpass and quadrature techniques; and much more.

Notes on Digital Signal Processing begins with mapping diagrams that illuminate the relationships between  all topics covered in the book. Many recipes include examples  demonstrating actual applications, and most sections rely on widely used  MATLAB tools.

• DSP fundamentals: ideal, natural, and instantaneous sampling; delta functions; physical signal reconstruction; and more
• Fourier Analysis: Fourier series and transforms; discrete-time and discrete Fourier transforms; signal truncation; DFT leakage and resolution
• Fast Fourier transforms: decimation in time and frequency; prime factor algorithms; and fast convolution
• Window techniques: sinusoidal analysis; window characteristics and choices; Kaiser windows; and more
• Classical spectrum analysis: unmodified and modified periodograms; Bartlett's and Welch's periodograms; and periodogram performance
• FIR filters: design options; linear-phase FIR filters; periodicities; basic and Kaiser window methods; and the Parks-McClellan algorithm
• Analog prototype filters: Laplace transforms; characterization; and Butterworth, Chebyshev, elliptic, and Bessel filters
• z-Transform analysis: computation and transforms using partial fraction expansion
• IIR filters: design options; impulse invariance methods; and bilinear transformation
• Multirate signal processing: decimation and interpolation fundamentals; multistage and polyphase decimators and interpolation
• Bandpass and quadrature techniques: bandpass sampling; wedge diagrams; complex and analytic signals; and advanced signal generation techniques
• Statistical signal processing: parametric modeling of discrete-time signals; autoregressive signal models; fitting AR and All-Pole models; and more
