Kali Linux в действии. 2 изд

Kali Linux в действии. 2 изд - Никита Скабцов

русский

 В этой книге рассматриваются методы обхода систем безопасности сетевых сервисов и проникновения в открытые информационные системы. Информационная безопасность, как и многое в нашем мире, представляет собой медаль с двумя сторонами. С одной стороны, мы проводим аудит, ищем способы проникновения и даже применяем их на практике, а с другой — работаем над защитой. Тесты на проникновение являются частью нормального жизненного цикла любой ИТ-инфраструктуры, позволяя по-настоящему оценить возможные риски и выявить скрытые проблемы.

 Может ли взлом быть законным? Конечно, может! Но только в двух случаях — когда вы взламываете принадлежащие вам ИС или когда вы взламываете сеть организации, с которой у вас заключено письменное соглашение о проведении аудита или тестов на проникновение. Мы надеемся, что вы будете использовать информацию из данной книги только в целях законного взлома ИС. Пожалуйста, помните о неотвратимости наказания — любые незаконные действия влекут за собой административную или уголовную ответственность.

 Вы последовательно пройдете все шаги, необходимые для проведения аудита безопасности информационных систем и тестов на проникновение: от общих понятий, рассмотрения стандартов и необходимых действий перед проведением аудита до методов проникновения в информационную систему и закрепления в ней. Каждая глава книги подкреплена реальными примерами и содержит практическую информацию по применению тех или иных методов.
Книга адресована читателям, имеющим опыт работы в сфере информационных технологий и знакомым с работой основных сетевых сервисов как на Linux-, так и на Windows-платформах, а больше всего будет полезна системным администраторам, специалистам по ИТ-безопасности, всем тем, кто желает связать свою карьеру с защитой информации или аудиторской деятельностью.

 Во втором, дополненном и переработанном издании, информация была полностью обновлена и соответствует современным реалиям.

Объектно-ориентированное программирование с помощью Python

Объектно-ориентированное программирование с помощью Python - Ирв Кальб

русский

 Объектно-ориентированное программирование (ООП) — это метод, основанный на представлении программы в виде совокупности объектов, каждый из которых является экземпляром определенного класса, а классы образуют иерархию наследования, что позволяет по-другому думать о вычислительных задачах и решать их с возможностью многократного использования.

 «Объектно-ориентированное программирование с помощью Python» предназначено для программистов среднего уровня и представляет собой практическое руководство, которое глубоко изучает основные принципы ООП и показывает, как использовать инкапсуляцию, полиморфизм и наследование для написания игр и приложений с использованием Python.

 Книга начинается с рассказа о ключевых проблемах, присущих процедурному программированию, затем вы познакомитесь с основами создания классов и объектов в Python.

 Затем вы научитесь создавать графические интерфейсы c помощью pygame, благодаря чему вы сможете писать интерактивные игры и приложения с виджетами графического пользовательского интерфейса (GUI), анимацией, различными сценами и многоразовой игровой логикой.

 В итоге у вас получится полнофункциональная видеоигра, включающая в себя многие методы ООП и элементы графического пользовательского интерфейса, описанные в книге.

 Вы узнаете, как:

  • Создавать несколько объектов и управлять ими с помощью объекта диспетчера объектов.
  • Научитесь использовать инкапсуляцию, чтобы скрыть внутренние детали объектов от клиентского кода.
  • Научитесь использовать полиморфизм для определения одного интерфейса и реализации его в нескольких классах.
  • Сможете применять наследование для использования существующего кода.

 «Объектно-ориентированное программирование с помощью Python» — это визуальное, интуитивно понятное руководство, позволяющее полностью понять, как работает ООП и как с его помощью сделать свой код более удобным в сопровождении, читаемым и эффективным, не жертвуя при этом функциональностью.

ChatGPT и Революция Искусственного Интеллекта

ChatGPT и Революция Искусственного Интеллекта - Тимур Казанцев

русский

 30 ноября 2022 года мир навсегда изменился – Искусственный интеллект стал общедоступным через инструмент под названием ChatGPT. Это чатбот, с которым вы можете спокойно разговаривать практически на любую тему, вы можете спросить совета, а можете попросить подготовить для вас инвестиционное исследование, сгенерировать новый или проверить ваш программный код, создать бот для вас, даже если вы не знаете основ программирования, предложить диетический план для похудения, стать вашим персональным ассистентом или домашним психологом, написать эссе в университет, разработать маркетинговую стратегию для вашей компании, написать сценарий для фильма или статью с ключевыми словами, и способен выполнить еще много других запросов. Трудно понять настоящий потенциал, на что способен ChatGPT, потому что он ограничен только нашей способностью задавать правильные вопросы и нашим воображением.

 В этой книге мы рассмотрим возможности применения ChatGPT, а также более широкие последствия этой технологии для области ИИ и общества в целом. Мы рассмотрим историю развития ИИ, а также посмотрим, как различные модели ИИ используются сегодня в тех или иных отраслях. Мы также рассмотрим потенциальное применение ИИ в будущем, различные сценарии взаимодействия ИИ и людей, а также экономические, этические и социальные последствия их разработки и использования. Эта книга также поможет вам понять как использовать инструменты ИИ, чтобы увеличить свою личную продуктивность или найти дополнительные источники дохода, упрочить свои карьерные позиции или увеличить прибыльность и эффективность вашего бизнеса.

 Если вы все еще думаете, что ChatGPT – это интересная технология, но не более того, и она не изменит кардинально нашего будущего, образа жизни и рынка в труда, в частности, то вот вам еще один аргумент в пользу обратного – введение к этой книге, которое вы только что прочитали, было написано, в том числе, с помощью ChatGPT:) Уверяю, остальные части книги написаны настоящим автором-человеком, но как теперь это можно доказать?
