Rootkits and Bootkits will teach you how to understand and counter sophisticated, advanced threats buried deep in a machine’s boot process or UEFI firmware.
With the aid of numerous case studies and professional research from three of the world’s leading security experts, you’ll trace malware development over time from rootkits like TDL3 to present-day UEFI implants and examine how they infect a system, persist through reboot, and evade security software.

This textbook, fully updated to feature Python version 3.7, covers the key ideas that link probability, statistics, and machine learning illustrated using Python modules. The entire text, including all the figures and numerical results, is reproducible using the Python codes and their associated Jupyter/IPython notebooks, which are provided as supplementary downloads. The author develops key intuitions in machine learning by working meaningful examples using multiple analytical methods and Python codes, thereby connecting theoretical concepts to concrete implementations. The update features full coverage of Web-based scientific visualization with Bokeh Jupyter Hub; Fisher Exact, Cohen’s D and Rank-Sum Tests; Local Regression, Spline, and Additive Methods; and Survival Analysis, Stochastic Gradient Trees, and Neural Networks and Deep Learning. Modern Python modules like Pandas, Sympy, and Scikit-learn are applied to simulate and visualize important machine learning concepts like the bias/variance trade-off, cross-validation, and regularization. Many abstract mathematical ideas, such as convergence in probability theory, are developed and illustrated with numerical examples.

This book presents TDF (Tactics Development Framework), a practical methodology for eliciting and engineering models of expert decision-making in dynamic domains. The authors apply the BDI (Beliefs, Desires, Intentions) paradigm to the elicitation and modelling of dynamic decision making expertise, including team behaviour, and map it to a diagrammatic representation that is intuitive to domain experts. This book is concerned with how to model the dynamic decision-making capabilities of individuals as well as teams, with a view to engineering competent, autonomous decision-making systems for applications such as UASs (Unmanned Aerial Systems) as well as simulations that implement virtual human characters.

This book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines, and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them. Virtualization is still possible when the instruction set architecture lacks such support, but the hypervisor remains more complex and must rely on additional techniques.

Hi, my name is Alexander Shvets. After two years of work, I'm happy to present to you my course on refactoring, which will make you a better programmer.
The book is divided into two large sections: Code Smells and Refactoring Techniques. The first part describes various signs and symptoms of dirty code. The second part shows different methods to treat dirty code and make it clean. The course teaches you about 21 smells of bad code and 66 refactoring techniques to fix them. Each chapter includes examples in Java, C# and PHP.
