No Starch Press,US Hacking Apis: Breaking Web Application
Book SynopsisYou'll learn how REST and GraphQL APIs work in the wild and set up a streamlined API testing lab with Burp Suite and Postman. Then you'll master tools useful for reconnaissance, endpoint analysis, and fuzzing, such as Kiterunner. Next, you'll learn to perform common attacks, like those targeting an API's authentication mechanisms and the injection vulnerabilities commonly found in web applications. You'll also learn techniques for bypassing protections against these attacks so that you can uncover API bugs other hackers aren't finding and improve the security of applications on the web.Trade Review"Corey Ball takes you on a journey through the lifecycle of APIs in such a manner that you’re wanting to not only know more, but also anticipating trying out your newfound knowledge on the next legitimate target. From concepts to examples, through to identifying tools and demonstrating them in fine detail, this book has it all. It IS the motherload for API hacking, and should be found next to the desk, well-read by ANYONE wanting to take this level of adversarial research, assessment, or DevSecOps seriously."—Chris Roberts, @Sidragon1, vCISO/Researcher/Hacker"This book opens the doors to the field of API Hacking, a subject not very well understood. Using real-world examples that emphasize Access Control issues, this book will help you understand the ins and outs of securing APIs, hunt great bounties, and help organizations improve their API Security!"—Inon Shkedy, @InonShkedy, Security Researcher"Even though the internet is filled with information on any topic possible in cybersecurity, it is still hard to find solid insight on performing penetration tests on APIs. Corey's book satisfies this demand—not only for the beginner cybersecurity practitioner, but also for the seasoned expert."—Cristi Vlad, @CristiVlad25, Cybersecurity Researcher"Hacking APIs is extremely helpful for anyone who wants to get into penetration testing. In particular, this book gives you the tools to start testing the security of APIs, which are becoming a weak point for many modern web applications. Experienced security folks can get something out of the book too, as it features automation tips and protection bypass techniques that will up any pentesters' game."—Vickie Li, @vickieli7, Developer Evangelist, Author of Bug Bounty Bootcamp"[Hacking APIs is] the best source of API info I've seen. If you're curious about what APIs are and how they work, read it once. If you work with or create APIs, read it twice. If you break APIs, read it three times."—Graham Helton, @GrahamHelton3"One of the few books that is actually dedicated to API hacking. . . . a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about API security and how to hack into web applications. It provides in-depth information on how to break through various types of APIs, as well as tips on how to stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly changing field." —Dana Epp, Security Boulevard"This book has more to offer than hacking APIs but sets down a solid foundation of tools and techniques that would benefit any developer or QA Engineer that has to develop, test, or otherwise work with APIs." —John Wenning, Cybersecurity Researcher, Fortra"A thorough guide to what APIs are, how they work, what technologies they use, the various common insecurities that APIs have, and, most importantly, how to exploit them. . . . I would recommend Hacking APIs as a great read for anyone interested in learning more about the vulnerable side of APIs."—Darlene Hibbs, Senior Cybersecurity Researcher, Fortra

Syngress Media,U.S. No Tech Hacking: A Guide to Social Engineering, Dumpster Diving, and Shoulder Surfing
Book SynopsisJohnny Long's last book sold 12,000 units worldwide. Kevin Mitnick's last book sold 40,000 units in North America. As the cliché goes, information is power. In this age of technology, an increasing majority of the world's information is stored electronically. It makes sense then that we rely on high-tech electronic protection systems to guard that information. As professional hackers, Johnny Long and Kevin Mitnick get paid to uncover weaknesses in those systems and exploit them. Whether breaking into buildings or slipping past industrial-grade firewalls, their goal has always been the same: extract the information using any means necessary. After hundreds of jobs, they have discovered the secrets to bypassing every conceivable high-tech security system. This book reveals those secrets; as the title suggests, it has nothing to do with high technology.Table of Contents1: Reading People 2: Social Engineering 3: Shoulder Surfing 4: Dumpster Diving 5: Physical Security 6: Death of a Road Warrior 7: Google and P2P Hacking 8: Anatomy of a Break-In

BCS Learning & Development Limited Hands-on Incident Response and Digital Forensics
Book SynopsisIncident response is the method by which organisations take steps to identify and recover from an information security incident, with as little impact as possible on business as usual. Digital forensics is what follows - a scientific investigation into the causes of an incident with the aim of bringing the perpetrators to justice. These two disciplines have a close but complex relationship and require a balancing act to get right, but both are essential when an incident occurs. In this practical guide, the relationship between incident response and digital forensics is explored and you will learn how to undertake each and balance them to meet the needs of an organisation in the event of an information security incident. Best practice tips and real-life examples are included throughout.Trade Review‘A great book which I could see on the shelf of any investigator or included in the book lists of digital forensic and cyber security students at university’. -- Dale McGleenon * Cyber Forensics & Network Incident Response *'A fantastic summary of cyber incident response and digital forensics for existing practitioners and managers which covers the all-important impact on people!

Manning Publications Self-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized digital
Book Synopsis"This book is a comprehensive roadmap to the most crucial fix for today's broken Internet." - Brian Behlendorf, GM for Blockchain, Healthcare and Identity at the Linux Foundation In a world of changing privacy regulations, identity theft, and online anonymity, identity is a precious and complex concept. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a set of technologies that move control of digital identity from third party “identity providers”directly to individuals, and it promises to be one of the most important trendsfor the coming decades. Now in Self-Sovereign Identity, privacy and personal data experts Drummond Reed and Alex Preukschat lay out a roadmap for a futureof personal sovereignty powered by the Blockchain and cryptography. Cutting through the technical jargon with dozens of practical use cases from experts across all major industries, it presents a clear and compelling argument for why SSI is a paradigm shift, and shows how you can be ready to be prepared forit. about the technology Trust onthe internet is at an all-time low. Large corporations and institutions control our personal data because we've never had a simple, safe, strong way to prove who we are online. Self-sovereign identity (SSI) changes all that. about the book In Self-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized digital identity and verifiable credentials, you'll learn how SSI empowers us to receive digitally-signed credentials, store them in private wallets, and securely prove our online identities. It combines a clear, jargon-free introduction to this blockchain-inspired paradigm shift with interesting essays written by its leading practitioners. Whether for property transfer, ebanking, frictionless travel, or personalized services, the SSI model for digital trust will reshape our collective future. what's inside · The architecture of SSI software and services · The technical, legal, and governance concepts behind SSI · How SSI affects global business industry-by-industry · Emerging standards for SSI about the reader For technology and business readers. No prior SSI, cryptography, or blockchain experience required. aboutthe author Drummond Reed is the Chief Trust Officer at Evernym, a technology leader in SSI.

Oxford University Press Cryptography
Book SynopsisCryptography is a part of everyday life for almost all of us, though we may not realise we''re using it.We are a far cry from the historical prediction that cryptography would only be used by militaries and governments. With vast quantities of sensitive information transferred online by individuals, companies, organizations, and nation states, cryptography is increasingly important to everyone, and most of us, often without realising, use it daily. Cryptography: A Very Short Introduction demystifies the art of cryptography by tracing its historical use, explaining how it works, and providing examples of its practical use. These include online shopping, chip and PIN bank cards, and communicating via mobile phone. While many of these uses have been mainstream for some time now, the development and deployment of cryptography has changed enormously in the last twenty years.In this second edition, Sean Murphy and Rachel Player highlight the important advances in both academic cryptography research and its everyday use. Using non-technical language and without assuming advanced mathematical knowledge, they introduce symmetric and public-key cryptography and provide a detailed discussion of the design of cryptographic algorithms that are secure against quantum computers and the development of cryptographic algorithms with advanced functionalities. They also consider the new applications of cryptography such as blockchain, secure messaging apps, and electronic voting.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Oxford University Press Inc Cyber Persistence Theory Redefining National
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewCyber Persistence Theory is an important addition to our collective understanding of the dynamics of cyberspace and its implications for national security. It provides sound insight and excellent analysis on how we can meet the challenges of cyber in the hyper-connected, digitally driven world we find ourselves in today. Excellent work on a topic of increasing importance to all! * Admiral Michael S. Rogers, USN (ret) former Commander, US Cyber Command and Director, National Security Agency (2014-2018) *This timely new book is destined to go down as a major milestone in the development of new strategic thought for twenty-first century. With admirable clarity and powerful prose, the authors first dismantle the deterrence-focused paradigm that has so far guided US defense strategy in cyber space and then formulate a new organizing concept. Anyone interested in cyber security must come to terms with this new thinking. * Brad Roberts, Center for Global Security Research *Michael Fischerkeller, Emily Goldman, and Richard Harknett have once again made an incredibly valuable contribution to the development of American cyber policy and strategy through the writing of Cyber Persistence Theory. The authors push its readership to think beyond classical deterrence theory to new concepts for engaging and defeating undeterred adversaries in cyberspace. In short, this book argues the need for change and to take more risk to close an increasingly larger risk in our defense and national security as well as our public safety posture as American citizens To do so, the authors argue will require not only persistent engagement, but a 'whole-of-nation plus' effort. A must-read for both national and cyber security professionals! * Robert J.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Understanding Cryptography: A Textbook for
Book SynopsisCryptography is now ubiquitous – moving beyond the traditional environments, such as government communications and banking systems, we see cryptographic techniques realized in Web browsers, e-mail programs, cell phones, manufacturing systems, embedded software, smart buildings, cars, and even medical implants. Today's designers need a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography. After an introduction to cryptography and data security, the authors explain the main techniques in modern cryptography, with chapters addressing stream ciphers, the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and 3DES, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), block ciphers, the RSA cryptosystem, public-key cryptosystems based on the discrete logarithm problem, elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC), digital signatures, hash functions, Message Authentication Codes (MACs), and methods for key establishment, including certificates and public-key infrastructure (PKI). Throughout the book, the authors focus on communicating the essentials and keeping the mathematics to a minimum, and they move quickly from explaining the foundations to describing practical implementations, including recent topics such as lightweight ciphers for RFIDs and mobile devices, and current key-length recommendations. The authors have considerable experience teaching applied cryptography to engineering and computer science students and to professionals, and they make extensive use of examples, problems, and chapter reviews, while the book’s website offers slides, projects and links to further resources. This is a suitable textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses and also for self-study by engineers.The authors' website (http://www.crypto-textbook.com/) provides extensive notes, slides, video lectures; the authors' YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1usFRN4LCMcflV7UjHNuQg) includes video lectures.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "The authors have succeeded in creating a highly valuable introduction to the subject of applied cryptography. I hope that it can serve as a guide for practitioners to build more secure systems based on cryptography, and as a stepping stone for future researchers to explore the exciting world of cryptography and its applications." (Bart Preneel, K.U.Leuven) "The material is very well presented so it is clear to understand. The necessary amount of mathematics is used and complete yet simple examples are used by the authors to help the reader understand the topics. ... [The authors] appear to fully understand the concepts and follow a very good pedagogical process that helps the reader not only understand the different topics but motivate you to perform some of the exercises at the end of each chapter and browse some of the reference materials. I fully recommend this book to any software developer/designer working or considering working on a project that requires security." (John Canessa) "The book presents a panoramic of modern Cryptography with a view to practical applications. ... The book is well written, many examples and figures through it illustrate the theory and the book's website offers links and supplementary information. The book also discusses the implementation in software and hardware of the main algorithms described."

Oxford University Press China and Cybersecurity Espionage Strategy and Politics in the Digital Domain
Book SynopsisA comprehensive analysis of China's cyberspace threats and policies, emphasizing the vantage points of China and U.S. on cyber exploitation and the possibilities for more positive coordination.Trade Review"Given the high stakes and enormous gaps between Chinese and American understandings and agendas on cybersecurity, and with the above two chapters as examples, Lindsay and Reveron are certainly justified in concluding that the book "exemplifies" cooperation to improve understanding. It will be worthwhile reading not only for China scholars and cyber-security experts, but also for international relations and communications scholars." --Pacific Affairs "This book's contributors argue that China is not the electronic supervillain it is often thought to be. Despite the regime's hefty investment in digital espionage and cyberwar capabilities, its networks are less secure than those in the United States, the Chinese agencies that make cybersecurity policy are more fragmented than their U.S. counterparts, and the country suffers losses worth close to $1 billion a year because of weak policing of online theft and fraud. China conducts a great deal of industrial espionage, but its enterprises have a hard time filtering and applying the vast amount of data their hackers steal. Looking only at the Chinese side of the relationship, the book does not detail the digital threats that the United States poses to China. But Chinese thinkers believe they are significant, and given China's strategic doctrine of striking first and massively, this creates the risk that in a crisis, Beijing might launch a preemptive cyberattack. The fact that Chinese and Western experts cooperated in this pathbreaking book shows that there is a potential for working together. But there are many obstacles, including the inherent secrecy of the field." -- Foreign Affairs "The US-China relationship is probably the most important in determining the future of cyberspace. Yet despite all the media reporting about Chinese hacking and cyber espionage, we lack a comprehensive picture of what it is China hopes to accomplish in cyberspace and how it copes with its own vulnerability. This is an extremely useful study not only because it brings international relations, intelligence, military, computer science, and China experts together, but also is one of the rare works that includes the contributions of Chinese academics, analysts, and practioners. This book should be read by all who want a greater understanding of China's cybersecurity situation." -- Adam Segal, Maurice R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cybersecurity for Everyone
Book SynopsisCyberspace is a critical part of our lives. Although we all use cyberspace for work, entertainment, and social life, much of its infrastructure and operation is invisible to us. We spend a big part of our lives in an environment that is almost an essential service but is full of potential dangers: a place where criminals can commit new kinds of crimes, where governments can exert political pressure, and where we can be hurt by the unthinking actions of the bored and careless.Making cyberspace more secure is one of the challenges of our times. This is not only (or perhaps even primarily) a technical challenge. It requires actions by governments and businesses to encourage security whenever possible, and to make sure that their own actions do not undermine it. Unfortunately, many of those in a position to do something about cybersecurity do not have the background to understand the issues fully. Cybersecurity for Everyone will help by describing the issues in a way that is accessible to anyone, but especially those from non-technical backgrounds.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroductionHow cyberspace works Encounters with cyberspace What is cyberspace?

Taylor & Francis Information Security Policies Procedures and
Book SynopsisInformation Security Policies, Procedures, and Standards: A Practitioner's Reference gives you a blueprint on how to develop effective information security policies and procedures. It uses standards such as NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and COBIT, and regulations such as HIPAA and PCI DSS as the foundation for the content. Highlighting key terminology, policy development concepts and methods, and suggested document structures, it includes examples, checklists, sample policies and procedures, guidelines, and a synopsis of the applicable standards.The author explains how and why procedures are developed and implemented rather than simply provide information and examples. This is an important distinction because no two organizations are exactly alike; therefore, no two sets of policies and procedures are going to be exactly alike. This approach provides the foundation and understanding you need to write effective policies, procedures, and standards clearly and Table of ContentsIntroduction. Information Security Policy Basics. Information Security Policy Framework. Information Security Policy Details. Information Security Procedures and Standards. Information Security Policy Projects. Appendices.

Taylor & Francis Female Offenders and Reentry
Book SynopsisOften, research concerning the female offender is scarce. This book adds to the criminological literature on the topic of reentry for women, focusing on the barriers women face as they return to society and adjust to life after incarceration. Each chapter addresses specific issues, challenges, and obstacles affiliated with the hindrance of successful reentry processes associated with female offenders, as well as data-driven empirical studies.While corrections has often misunderstood or overlooked the needs of returning offenders, the shortcomings of the institutions have a greater impact on women than on their male counterparts, particularly regarding the occurrence of social and medical problems, especially those related to mental health and substance abuse. Female Offenders and Reentry helps criminal justice students and practitioners see the full picture when considering the challenges faced by female offenders reintegrating into society. Trade ReviewFinally—a comprehensive text that covers all aspects of the challenges faced by female offenders in their reentry journeys. Featuring evidence-based research, current demographic and trend data, policy and best practices analyses, and in-depth case studies, this monograph provides insightful examinations of critical gender barriers to societal reintegration—transportation, housing, employment, issues of chronic illness and reproductive health, mental health and substance abuse disorders, and child reunification. —Rosemary Gido, Indiana University of PennsylvaniaThe editors have put together a well-balanced collection of chapters that discuss in depth the multiple problems female ex-offenders face when returning to their communities. This text provides an excellent forum for discussion on the topic of female offenders and reentry that will leave students as well as policy makers and educators thinking about how they can effect change. —Danielle McDonald, Northern Kentucky UniversityIn Female Offenders and Reentry, Carter and Marcum have expertly conveyed the challenges facing women as they work towards reestablishing a life outside of prison. This compelling and comprehensive text is essential to understanding the contemporary female reentry experience. —Ashley G.
