This book provides practical advice for everyone on how to effectively secure yourself, your devices, and your privacy in an era where all of those things seem doomed. From acquiring software, to the ongoing flaws in email, to the risks of file sharing, and issues surrounding social media and social reputation, Practical Insecurity is the tool you need to maximize your self-protection in the digital world. Everyone has had a brush with cybersecurity―in some way. Our computer has gotten a virus, somebody you know has lost all their company’s data because of ransomware, someone has stolen our identity, a store we do business with has their computer system compromised―including our account―so we are offered free identity protection, and so on. It seems like everyday there is another bit of bad news and it often impacts us. But, the question largely goes what can I do as an individual or as the owner of a small business to protect myself against having my security compromised? Practical Insecurity provides the answers.

Metaverse, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Service Robots etc. are a rapidly expanding field with an ever-increasing number of terms and community-specific jargon. A new term is not always accompanied by something truly novel. In addition to verbal "pseudo-innuendos" and "crypto-slang" introduced with the intent of attracting attention quickly, there are several significant new developments. The issue with this development is that the risk of "Babylonian language confusion" is growing exponentially. The encyclopedia is intended for managers, students, and professors alike. With the aid of this encyclopedia, managers who are faced with Metaverse, NFT, Cryptocurrency, AI, Predictive Modeling, Service Robot, or Blockchain decisions in their daily work should have quick access to technical terms. This encyclopedia is also intended to help students keep track of the subject’s numerous terms as they study it. The encyclopedia can also be used as a guide for a consistent use of Metaverse, NFT, Cryptocurrency, and Blockchain terminology by instructors, teachers, and professors.

Dive into the world of penetration testing with this comprehensive guide by cybersecurity expert, Brandon S. Keath. Explore each stage of the Penetration Testing Execution Standard, learn essential tools and techniques, and gain insights from real-world examples. Master the art of ethical hacking and become a skilled penetration tester. In this section, we will explore post-exploitation with Metasploit, focusing on the main features of Meterpreter and the use of shells outside of Metasploit. Post-exploitation refers to the actions taken after gaining unauthorized access to a system. The goal is to maintain control, gather valuable information, and, in some cases, pivot to other systems within the network. Meterpreter is a powerful post-exploitation tool included in Metasploit. It provides advanced features and functionalities that facilitate information gathering, privilege escalation, maintaining access, and more. Meterpreter runs in memory, making it difficult to detect by antivirus software.

This informative text/reference presents a detailed review of the state of the art in fog computing paradigm. In particular, the book examines a broad range of important cooperative and distributed computation algorithms, along with their design objectives and technical challenges. The coverage includes the conceptual fundamental of fog computing, its practical applications, cooperative and distributed computation algorithms using optimization, swarm intelligence, matching theory, and reinforcement learning methods. Discussions are also provided on remaining challenges and open research issues for designing and developing the efficient distributed computation solutions in the next-generation of fog-enabled IoT systems. The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has been expanded rapidly as a key pillar to realize the smart concept in various domains such as smart cities, smart grids, and smart factories since it enables the interconnection and interoperability of IoT-enabled physical and virtual entities to create smart services and informed decision-making for monitoring, control, and management purposes.

Immerse yourself in the offensive security mindset to better defend against attacks. In The Active Defender: Immersion in the Offensive Security Mindset, Senior Information Security Forensic Analyst Dr. Catherine J. Ullman delivers an expert treatment of the Active Defender approach to information security. In the book, you'll learn to understand and embrace the knowledge you can gain from the offensive security community. You'll become familiar with the hacker mindset, which allows you to gain emergent insight into how attackers operate and better grasp the nature of the risks and threats in your environment. Protecting computers, networks, software programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access is a difficult job, as evidenced by the fact that successful attacks continue to be on the rise. This book introduces the idea of the Active Defender as an alternative approach to the way cybersecurity defense has typically been practiced. The traditional approach is usually passive or reactive, waiting to respond to alerts or other indications of attack. The Active Defender, by comparison, is someone who seeks to understand a hacker mindset and embraces the knowledge gained from the offensive security community in order to be more effective.

The Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are made up of spatially dispersed autonomous sensors that monitor environmental or physical elements like temperature, sound, and pressure. These sensors’ data is collectively transmitted to a destination via network infrastructure. Because sensor nodes are energy-constrained devices, energy-efficient routing techniques have become more important. Regardless of how far wireless sensor networks (WSN) have progressed, efficient energy utilization is still required to extend the lifetime of the network. The network lifetime depreciates in real-time applications due to sensor node battery limits. Different routing techniques exist, and we have examined and interpreted the results of two hierarchical algorithms, Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and Power Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems (PEGASIS). The comparison is based on the amount of energy used each transmission and the WSN’s overall lifetime, with simulations performed in MATLAB.
