Coding for Penetration Testers: Building Better Tools /by Jason Andress and Ryan Linn. Tools used for penetration testing are often purchased or downloaded from the Internet. Each tool is based on a programming language such as Perl, Python, or Ruby.
If a penetration tester wants to extend, augment, or change the functionality of a tool to perform a test differently than the default configuration, the tester must know the basics of coding for the related programming language. Coding for Penetration Testers provides the reader with an understanding of the scripting languages that are commonly used when developing tools for penetration testing. It also guides the reader through specific examples of custom tool development and the situations where such tools might be used. While developing a better understanding of each language, the reader is guided through real world scenarios and tool development that can be incorporated into a testers toolkit.
Discusses the use of various scripting languages in penetration testing
Presents step-by-step instructions on how to build customized penetration testing tools using Perl, Ruby, Python, and other languages
Provides a primer on scripting including, but not limited to, Web scripting, scanner scripting, and exploitation

Colour in Art, Design and Nature /by C. A

Colour in Art, Design and Nature
W..T (5-2011) | PDF | 154 pages | 1845645685 | 6.1Mb

Colour in Art, Design and Nature /by C. A. Brebbia, C. Greated and M. W. Collins. This book is ambitiously inter-disciplinary. Its full color works form a striking contribution to the commonwealth of color studies and to a possible unification of C. P. Snows Two Cultures (Science and Art).
Color and inter-disciplinarity go hand in hand. This so often involves the authors leaving the comfort zone of their original specialty and striving for excellence in another. It seems that our perceptions of aesthetics and beauty must be very flexible indeed so as to find absolute opposites equally fascinating.
The book involves four main types of contributions, defined in terms of the authors themselves. First, there are contributions by biologists. Second, the largest section is by practicing artists. Third, there are two engineering-based contributions. Finally, there are contributions that address some of the historical proponents of color theory and art.

The Innovation Journey of Wi-Fi: The Road To Global Success /by Wolter Lemstra, Vic Hayes and John Groenewegen

The Innovation Journey of Wi-Fi: The Road To Global Success
C..ge (12-2010) | PDF | 432 pages | 0521199719 | 2.1Mb

The Innovation Journey of Wi-Fi: The Road To Global Success /by Wolter Lemstra, Vic Hayes and John Groenewegen. Wi-Fi has become the preferred means for connecting to the internet - at home, in the office, in hotels and at airports. Increasingly, Wi-Fi also provides internet access for remote communities where it is deployed by volunteers in community based networks, by operators in 'hotspots' and by municipalities in hotzones.
This book traces the global success of Wi-Fi to the landmark change in radio spectrum policy by the US FCC in 1985, the initiative by NCR Corporation to start development of Wireless-LANs and the drive for an open standard IEEE 802.11, released in 1997. It also singles out and explains the significance of the initiative by Steve Jobs at Apple to include Wireless-LAN in the iBook, which moved the product from the early adopters to the mass market. The book explains these developments through first-hand accounts by industry practitioners and concludes with reflections and implications for government policy and firm strategy.

Neural Network Models of Cognition, Volume 121: Biobehavioral Foundations /by J.W. Donahoe and V.P. Dorsel. This internationally authored volume presents major findings, concepts, and methods of behavioral neuroscience coordinated with their simulation via neural networks.
A central theme is that biobehaviorally constrained simulations provide a rigorous means to explore the implications of relatively simple processes for the understanding of cognition (complex behavior). Neural networks are held to serve the same function for behavioral neuroscience as population genetics for evolutionary science. The volume is divided into six sections, each of which includes both experimental and simulation research: (1) neurodevelopment and genetic algorithms, (2) synaptic plasticity (LTP), (3) sensory/hippocampal systems, (4) motor systems, (5) plasticity in large neural systems (reinforcement learning), and (6) neural imaging and language. The volume also includes an integrated reference section and a comprehensive index.

O..ey (11-2011) | PDF | 81 pages | 1849085099 | 3.1Mb

Tora! Tora! Tora! - Pearl Harbor 1941 (Raid) /by Mark Stille, Jim Laurier and Tim Brown. The Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor is one of the most famous raids in history, if not the most famous. In the early hours of December 7, 1941, the carriers and aircraft of the Japanese First Air Fleet launched a sudden and unexpected attack on the US naval forces anchored in Pearl Harbor, hoping to cripple America s naval capabilities in one decisive blow.
This new study by Mark Stille will address the build-up to, execution of, and fallout from the Pearl Harbor operation. Putting the raid in context, the political and military background will be addressed Japanese expansion in the Far East, and American responses to it, and the steady increase in tensions between the two powers. The Japanese decision to launch an assault on Pearl Harbor will be considered in detail, from the time constraints faced in planning the raid, alternative operational possibilities, and the bold, stubborn leadership of Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto, who was the driving force behind the concept and planning, to the final adoption of the operation, and its place in Japan's national strategy. It is an illuminating new look at one of the most infamous events in modern history.

Neuromania: On the limits of brain science

Neuromania: On the limits of brain science /by Paolo Legrenzi, Carlo Umilta and Frances Anderson. Neuroeconomics, neuromarketing, neuroaesthetics, and neurotheology are just a few of the novel disciplines that have been inspired by a combination of ancient knowledge together with recent discoveries about how the human brain works.
The mass media are full of news items featuring colour photos of the brain, that show us the precise location in which a certain thought or emotion, or even love occurs, hence leading us to believe that we can directly observe, with no mediation, the brain at work. But is this really so? Even throughout the developed world, the general public has been seduced into believing that any study, research article, or news report, accompanied by a brain image or two is more reliable and more scientific, than one featuring more mundane illustrations.
This fascinating, accessible, and thought provoking new book questions our obsession with brain imaging. Written by two highly experienced psychologists, it discusses some of the familiar ideas usually associated wtih mind-body, brain-psyche, and nature-culture relationships, showing how the biased and unquestioning use of brain imaging technology could have significant cultural effects for all of us.

Democratic Enlightenment: Philosophy, Revolution, and Human Rights, 1750-1790 /by Jonathan I

O..d U. USA (9-2011) | PDF | 1152 pages | 019954820X | 4.6Mb

Democratic Enlightenment: Philosophy, Revolution, and Human Rights, 1750-1790 /by Jonathan I. Israel. That the Enlightenment shaped modernity is uncontested. Yet remarkably few historians or philosophers have attempted to trace the process of ideas from the political and social turmoil of the late eighteenth century to the present day. This is precisely what Jonathan Israel now does.
In Democratic Enlightenment, Israel demonstrates that the Enlightenment was an essentially revolutionary process, driven by philosophical debate. The American Revolution and its concerns certainly acted as a major factor in the intellectual ferment that shaped the wider upheaval that followed, but the radical philosophes were no less critical than enthusiastic about the American model. From 1789, the General Revolution's impetus came from a small group of philosophe-revolutionnaires, men such as Mirabeau, Sieyes, Condorcet, Volney, Roederer, and Brissot. Not aligned to any of the social groups represented in the French National assembly, they nonetheless forged-la philosophie moderne-in effect Radical Enlightenment ideas--into a world-transforming ideology that had a lasting impact in Latin America, Canada and eastern Europe as well as France, Italy, Germany, and the Low Countries. In addition, Israel argues that while all French revolutionary journals powerfully affirmed that la philosophie moderne was the main cause of the French Revolution, the main stream of historical thought has failed to grasp what this implies. Israel sets the record straight, demonstrating the true nature of the engine that drove the Revolution, and the intimate links between the radical wing of the Enlightenment and the anti Robespierriste Revolution of reason.

Ha..ins U..K (11-2011) | EPUB+MOBI | 224 pages | 1906321736 | 1.2Mb

21st Century Dodos /by Steve Stack. A fond farewell to the many inanimate objects, cultural icons and general stuff around us that find themselves on the verge of exctinction. There are many thousands of endangered species on the planet. If you include animals, insects and plants then about 3 species become extinct every hour of every day.
That s almost 27,000 a year. Every single one of these is, of course, a tragedy but, let's be honest, we haven't really noticed. When the last Bolivian centipede pops his hundred clogs it is sad but makes bugger all difference to our daily lives. So this book isn't about them. Steve Stack instead investigates the many inanimate objects, the unsung cultural icons of society, which don't feature on any endangered list, don't have people raising money on street corners on their behalf, don't feature in documentaries narrated by David Attenborough, but are just as likely to become extinct. Many already have. Coke can ring pulls, telephone boxes, VHS, cassette tapes, village post offices, the test card, hand-written letters, Spangles, classic telly ads of yesteryear, Whizzer & Chips - all of these and many many more are bid a fond farewell in this affectionate, but slightly irreverent tribute.

From the sneaky fish that can swim up our genitals to the e coli bacteria lurking in the very water we drink, disturbing phenomena are everywhere we turn. Educational, entertaining, and undeniably horrifying, this book isnt guaranteed to help you, um, go to the bathroom, but its certain to make your time there more . . . informed.
