Privilege Escalation Techniques. Learn the art of exploiting Windows and Linux systems

Alexis Ahmed

Privilege Escalation Techniques is a detailed guide to privilege escalation techniques and tools for both Windows and Linux systems. This is a one-of-a-kind resource that will deepen your understanding of both platforms and provide detailed, easy-to-follow instructions for your first foray into privilege escalation. The book uses virtual environments that you can download to test and run tools and techniques. After a refresher on gaining access and surveying systems, each chapter will feature an exploitation challenge in the form of pre-built virtual machines (VMs). As you progress, you will learn how to enumerate and exploit a target Linux or Windows system. You’ll then get a demonstration on how you can escalate your privileges to the highest level.By the end of this book, you will have gained all the knowledge and skills you need to be able to perform local kernel exploits, escalate privileges through vulnerabilities in services, maintain persistence, and enumerate information from the target such as passwords and password hashes.

Procedural Content Generation for C++ Game Development. Get to know techniques and approaches to procedurally generate game content in C++ using Simple and Fast Multimedia Library

Dale Green

Procedural generation is a growing trend in game development. It allows developers to create games that are bigger and more dynamic, giving the games a higher level of replayability. Procedural generation isn’t just one technique, it’s a collection of techniques and approaches that are used together to create dynamic systems and objects. C++ is the industry-standard programming language to write computer games. It’s at the heart of most engines, and is incredibly powerful. SFML is an easy-to-use, cross-platform, and open-source multimedia library. Access to computer hardware is broken into succinct modules, making it a great choice if you want to develop cross-platform games with ease.Using C++ and SFML technologies, this book will guide you through the techniques and approaches used to generate content procedurally within game development. Throughout the course of this book, we’ll look at examples of these technologies, starting with setting up a roguelike project using the C++ template. We’ll then move on to using RNG with C++ data types and randomly scattering objects within a game map. We will create simple console examples to implement in a real game by creating unique and randomised game items, dynamic sprites, and effects, and procedurally generating game events. Then we will walk you through generating random game maps. At the end, we will have a retrospective look at the project. By the end of the book, not only will you have a solid understanding of procedural generation, but you’ll also have a working roguelike game that you will have extended using the examples provided.

Procedural Content Generation with Unreal Engine 5. Harness the PCG framework to take your environment design and art skills to the next level

Paul Martin Eliasz

In the ever-evolving world of games and virtual production, mastering procedural content generator (PCG) opens the door to endless creative possibilities. This book takes you deeper into the realm of procedurally generated environments and assets by showing you how to use the PCG framework integrated into Unreal Engine 5.4 and helping you build the skills to surpass traditional methods and create cutting-edge projects with unparalleled efficiency.This book guides you through the complete level design and tools production pipeline using open-source software. Whether you’re an aspiring technical artist or level designer in real-time visualization and game production, you’ll benefit from following the step-by-step, beginner-friendly approach to crafting custom levels, from jungles to cities, and incorporating 3D assets from libraries such as Quixel or Sketchfab. Next, you’ll get to grips with data preparation, construct a PCG graph to populate assets in your environment, and apply these methods to optimize your projects. You’ll understand how this process enhances your PCG tools, elevating their capacity to improve the quality of your levels.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to seamlessly integrate different elements in Unreal Engine 5, empowering you to create your own PCG tools and transform your game development experience.

Profesjonalne programowanie w Pythonie. Poziom ekspert. Wydanie II

Michal Jaworski, Tarek Ziade

Twórcy Pythona niemal od początku starali się opracować wieloparadygmatowy język zorientowany na czytelność kodu i produktywność programisty. Dziś język ten jest uważany za wszechstronny i potężny, a do tego cechuje się prostotą i elastycznością. Nadaje się zarówno do pisania niedużych skryptów, jak i wielkich systemów, a także do wysoce specjalistycznych zadań, jak choćby analiza danych w celach naukowych. Mimo to pisanie kodu, który jest wydajny, prosty w utrzymaniu oraz łatwy w użyciu, wciąż sprawia problemy nawet zaawansowanym programistom Pythona. Niniejsza książka jest zbiorem praktyk stosowanych przez najlepszych programistów pracujących z Pythonem. Jest przeznaczona dla osób zawodowo zajmujących się rozwojem oprogramowania oraz dla ambitnych pasjonatów w tej dziedzinie. Poza opisem zaawansowanych technik programowania w Pythonie znalazły się tu również informacje o narzędziach i technikach stosowanych obecnie przez profesjonalnych programistów. Opisano metody zarządzania kodem, tworzenia, dokumentowania i testowania kodu oraz zasady optymalizacji oprogramowania. Przedstawiono również wzorce projektowe, które szczególnie docenią programiści Pythona. Najważniejsze zagadnienia przedstawione w książce: metodologie pracy w Pythonie i najlepsze praktyki składniowe rozszerzenia Pythona napisane w innych językach programowania techniki profilowania aplikacji przetwarzanie współbieżne i równoległe najprzydatniejsze wzorce projektowe Python — niezawodne narzędzie dla profesjonalisty!
