As part of Microsoft's ongoing strategy to support non-Windows platforms with its Azure cloud service and .NET Core framework, PowerShell now runs on Linux and macOS. Like Bash, PowerShell can execute and script nearly any aspect of Linux, so you can easily manage repetitive daily tasks, servers, Cloud resources, Continuous Integration pipelines, and more. Because PowerShell is a full-featured programming language, however, it provides capability well beyond traditional shell scripting languages, such as the ability to treat OS components as objects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eabout the book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches: Covers Windows, Linux, and macOS is a user-friendly tutorial to managing Linux and macOS systems with PowerShell.

You'll learn how PowerShell shapes up to Bash or Python scripting as you write and run simple scripts that automate boring daily tasks. As you progress through the book, you'll use PowerShell to write Continuous Integration Pipelines and manage cloud-based servers.

approach to teaching UNIX programming in a simple and structured way on the Linux platform. Through the use of detailed and realistic examples, students learn by doing, and are able to move from being a Linux beginner to creating custom applications in Linux. The book introduces fundamental concepts beginning with the basics of writing Unix programs in C, and including material on basic system calls, file I\/O, interprocess communication (for getting programs to work together), and shell programming. Parallel to this, the book introduces the toolkits and libraries for working with user interfaces, from simpler terminal mode applications to X and GTK+ for graphical user interfaces. Advanced topics are covered in detail such as processes, pipes, semaphores, socket programming, using MySQL, writing applications for the GNOME or the KDE desktop, writing device drivers, POSIX

Create a tiny virtual environment, called a container, for an application that includes only its particular set of dependencies. The Docker engine accounts for, manages, and builds these containers through functionality provided by the host operating system. Software running inside containers share the Linux OS and other resources, making their footprints radically smaller, and the containerized applications easy to install, manage, and remove. Applications can be packaged without worrying about environment-specific deployment concerns, and the operations team gets cleaner, more efficient systems across the board. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDocker in Action \u003c\/i\u003estarts with a clear explanation of the Docker model of virtualization and shows how to create, deploy, and manage applications hosted in Docker containers. It offers specific techniques for testing and distributing applications via Docker Hub and other registries. It shows how to take advantage of the Linux OS features that Docker uses to run programs securely, and how to manage shared resources. Using carefully-designed examples, the book guides readers on orchestrating containers and applications from installation to removal.

Mastering Embedded Linux Programming is a fully comprehensive guide that can serve both as means to learn new things or as a handy reference.  The first few chapters of this book will break down the fundamental elements that underpin all embedded Linux projects: the toolchain, the bootloader, the kernel, and the root filesystem. After that, you will learn how to create each of these elements from scratch and automate the process using Buildroot and the Yocto Project. As you progress, the book will show you how to implement an effective storage strategy for flash memory chips and install updates to a device remotely once it’s deployed.  You’ll also learn about the key aspects of writing code for embedded Linux, such as how to access hardware from apps, the implications of writing multi-threaded code, and techniques to manage memory in an efficient way. The final chapters demonstrate how to debug your code, whether it resides in apps or in the Linux kernel itself.  You’ll also cover the different tracers and profilers that are available for Linux so that you can quickly pinpoint any performance bottlenecks in your system. By the end of this Linux book, you’ll be able to create efficient and secure embedded devices using Linux.What you will learn  Use Buildroot and the Yocto Project to create embedded Linux systems Troubleshoot BitBake build failures and streamline your Yocto development workflow Update IoT devices securely in the field using Mender or balena Prototype peripheral additions by reading schematics, modifying device trees, soldering breakout boards, and probing pins with a logic analyzer Interact with hardware without having to write kernel device drivers Divide your system up into services supervised by BusyBox runit Debug devices remotely using GDB and measure the performance of systems using tools such as perf, ftrace, eBPF, and Callgrind  Who this book is forIf you’re a systems software engineer or system administrator who wants to learn how to implement Linux on embedded devices, then this book is for you. It's also aimed at embedded systems engineers accustomed to programming for low-power microcontrollers, who can use this book to help make the leap to high-speed systems on chips that can run Linux. Anyone who develops hardware that needs to run Linux will find something useful in this book – but before you get started, you'll need a solid grasp on POSIX standard, C programming, and shell scripting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting Out \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning about Toolchains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll about Bootloaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguring and Building the Kernel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Building a Root Filesystem \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelecting a Build System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping with Yocto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYocto Under the Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating a Storage Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdating Software in the Field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterfacing with Device Drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototyping with Breakout Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting Up – The init Program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting with BusyBox runit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManaging Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging Python\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning about Processes and Threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManaging Memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebugging with GDB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfiling and Tracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal-Time Programming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085546844503,"sku":"9781789530384","price":58.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789530384.jpg?v=1762209927"},{"product_id":"learn-kali-linux-2019-perform-powerful-penetration-testing-using-kali-linux-metasploit-nessus-nmap-and-wireshark-9781789611809","title":"Learn Kali Linux 2019: Perform powerful penetration testing using Kali Linux, Metasploit, Nessus, Nmap, and Wireshark","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExplore the latest ethical hacking tools and techniques in Kali Linux 2019 to perform penetration testing from scratch\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKey Features\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet up and running with Kali Linux 2019.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain comprehensive insights into security concepts such as social engineering, wireless network exploitation, and web application attacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to use Linux commands in the way ethical hackers do to gain control of your environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eBook Description\u003cp\u003eThe current rise in hacking and security breaches makes it more important than ever to effectively pentest your environment, ensuring endpoint protection.
