Cyber Operations

Cyber Operations

Cyber Operations: Building, Defending, and Attacking Modern Computer Networks.

Learn to set up, defend, and attack computer networks. This book focuses on networks and real attacks, offers extensive coverage of offensive and defensive techniques, and is supported by a rich collection of exercises and resources.

You’ll learn how to configure your network from the ground up, starting by setting up your virtual test environment with basics like DNS and active directory, through common network services, and ending with complex web applications involving web servers and backend databases.

Key defensive techniques are integrated throughout the exposition. You will develop situational awareness of your network and will build a complete defensive infrastructure—including log servers, network firewalls, web application firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.

Of course, you cannot truly understand how to defend a network if you do not know how to attack it, so you will attack your test systems in a variety of ways beginning with elementary attacks against browsers through privilege escalation to a domain administrator, or attacks against simple network servers through the compromise of a defended e-commerce site.

The author, who has coached his university's cyber defense team three times to the finals of the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, provides a practical, hands-on approach to cyber security.

What you'll learn

  • How to securely set up a complete network, from its infrastructure through web applications
  • How to integrate defensive technologies such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems into your network
  • How to attack your network with tools like Kali Linux, Metasploit, and Burp Suite
  • How to gain situational awareness on your network to detect and prevent such attacks

Who this book is for

This book is for beginning and intermediate professionals in cyber security who want to learn more about building, defending, and attacking computer networks. It is also suitable for use as a textbook and supplementary text for hands-on courses in cyber operations at the undergraduate and graduate level.

Get Fit with Apple Watch

Get Fit with Apple Watch

Get Fit with Apple Watch: Using the Apple Watch for Health and Fitness.

Get Fit with Apple Watch is the concise introduction to the amazing new Apple Watch. It’s the first book specifically focused on the Apple Watch’s most important function: health and fitness.

This book is for you if you are interested in health and are willing to make small lifestyle adjustments in order to enhance health and well-being. This book is also for you if you are a dedicated health junkie who already exercises on a regular basis and follows a healthy diet. The Apple Watch includes fitness apps that you can access right on your wrist while you are exercising, for instant feedback on how you are doing.

You will learn how to use the Watch to avoid sitting for too long, to register a healthy amount of body movement every day, and how to get the most out of more strenuous exercise activities. All fitness and exercise-related built-in apps will be covered in detail, as well as leading third party health and fitness apps that have been specifically tailored to work with the Watch.

Part I plus two appendixes give readers just what they need to know to understand all functionality of the Apple Watch to set up their Apple Watch, and what third-party apps are available (at time of publication). It’s a great mini-book that will be appeal to readers who don’t feel the need to buy an entire standalone introduction to the Apple Watch.

Part II (the majority of the book) clearly explains the Apple Watch’s fitness and health-tracking functions, but goes well beyond this by showing readers different ways to integrate these functions into their daily lives, regular workout routines, and with their iPhone and the leading third-party health and fitness apps. Plus, there’s an entire chapter devoted to the Apple Watch Research Kit, explaining the benefits of the associated medical research apps and how users can participate in these world-changing programs, should they choose to.

Veteran technology author Allen Taylor is also a participant in the Apple Watch Research Kit study in cardiovascular fitness conducted by Stanford University.

What you'll learn

  • How to get the most out of your Apple Watch
  • How the Apple Watch subtly encourages healthy habits
  • How the Apple Watch helps build cardiovascular fitness and endurance
  • How to multiply the value of the Apple Watch by pairing it with your iPhone
  • How third party fitness apps multiply the capabilities of the Apple Watch
  • How to participate in the Apple Watch Research Kit program
  • Brief explanations of the leading third-party app available for the Apple Watch (including more than just fitness and health apps)
  • Perfect for the gadget-loving athlete and fitness fan

Who this book is for

The book has two distinct audiences. The first is the segment of the general public that is interested in health and is willing to make small lifestyle adjustments in order to enhance health and well-being. The second audience consists of dedicated health junkies who already exercise on a regular basis and follow a healthy diet. They are already using fitness apps on their phones. The Apple Watch gives them the usual data, plus more, such as heart rate, in an instantly readable form on their wrists, rather than being available only after they are finished with the exercise, on their phones.

Microservices, IoT and Azure

Microservices, IoT and Azure: Leveraging DevOps and Microservice Architecture to deliver SaaS Solutions.

This book provides practical guidance for adopting a high velocity, continuous delivery process to create reliable, scalable, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions that are designed and built using a microservice architecture, deployed to the Azure cloud, and managed through automation. Microservices, IoT, and Azure offers software developers, architects, and operations engineers' step-by-step directions for building SaaS applications—applications that are available 24×7, work on any device, scale elastically, and are resilient to change–through code, script, exercises, and a working reference implementation.

The book provides a working definition of microservices and contrasts this approach with traditional monolithic Layered Architecture. A fictitious, homebiomedical startup is used to demonstrate microservice architecture and automation capabilities for cross-cutting and business services as well as connected device scenarios for Internet of Things (IoT). Several Azure PaaS services are detailed including Storage, SQL Database, DocumentDb, Redis Cache, Cloud Services, Web API’s, API Management, IoT Hub, IoT Suite, Event Hub, and Stream Analytics. Finally the book looks to the future and examines Service Fabric to see how microservices are becoming the de facto approach to building reliable software in the cloud.

What you'll learn

  • What microservices are and why are they're a compelling architecture pattern for SaaS applications
  • How to design, develop, and deploy microservices using Visual Studio, PowerShell, and Azure
  • Microservice patterns for cross-cutting concerns and business capabilities
  • Microservice patterns for Internet of Things and big data analytics solutions using IoT Hub, Event Hub, and Stream Analytics
  • Techniques for automating microservice provisioning, building, and deployment
  • What Service Fabric is and how it's the future direction for microservices on Microsoft Azure

Who this book is for

Software Application Architects, .NET Developers, Database Admins and DevOps engineers. The code samples will primarily be in C# but will also include Node.JS samples.
