Binary analysis is the process of examining a binary program to determine information security actions. It is a complex, constantly evolving, and challenging topic that crosses over into several domains of information technology and security. This binary analysis book is designed to help you get started with the basics, before gradually advancing to challenging topics. Using a recipe-based approach, this book guides you through building a lab of virtual machines and installing tools to analyze binaries effectively. You'll begin by learning about the IA32 and ELF32 as well as IA64 and ELF64 specifications. The book will then guide you in developing a methodology and exploring a variety of tools for Linux binary analysis. As you advance, you'll learn how to analyze malicious 32-bit and 64-bit binaries and identify vulnerabilities. You'll even examine obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques, analyze polymorphed malicious binaries, and get a high-level overview of dynamic taint analysis and binary instrumentation concepts. By the end of the book, you'll have gained comprehensive insights into binary analysis concepts and have developed the foundational skills to confidently delve into the realm of binary analysis.
Biznes oparty na danych. Zespół ekspertów, sztuczna inteligencja i analityka jako klucz do sukcesu
John K. Thompson, Douglas B. Laney
Skuteczna analityka wymaga wykonywania wieloaspektowego zestawu zadań w ramach właściwie zarządzanego procesu. Thomas H. Davenport, profesor Babson College Analityka mocno się zmieniła. Kiedyś skupiała się głównie na tworzeniu raportów i wykresów, które prezentowały dane w atrakcyjnej formie. Teraz stała się bardziej zaawansowana ― zespoły pracują w nowy sposób, łącząc różnorodne umiejętności, takie jak analiza danych, programowanie i znajomość biznesu. Dzięki temu decyzje podejmowane w firmach mogą być lepsze, a osiąganie celów ― łatwiejsze. Jednak by to działało, potrzebne są zmiany w strukturze organizacji i podejściu do pracy. Oto najbardziej praktyczny poradnik korzystania z analityki w funkcjonowaniu organizacji! Bill Schmarzo, dyrektor do spraw innowacji w Hitachi Vantara W tej książce znajdziesz podstawowe koncepcje związane z budowaniem skutecznych zespołów analitycznych i zarządzaniem nimi. Wyjaśniono w niej dokładnie, co należy robić, kogo zatrudniać, jakie projekty realizować i czego unikać na drodze do zbudowania sprawnego zespołu analitycznego. Omówiono również znaczenie biznesowego cyklu decyzyjnego w osiąganiu trwałego sukcesu przedsiębiorstwa. Ponadto poznasz wartościowe modele z obszaru zaawansowanej analityki i prognoz opartych na analizie danych. Nie zabrakło też opisu metod i praktyk zarządzania zespołami analitycznymi, a także wskazówek, jak wpływać na oczekiwania kierownictwa i wybierać projekty o największej wartości. Dzięki tej książce dyrektorzy wykonawczy i zespoły analityczne dowiedzą się, jak wypracować trwałą, strategiczną, a nawet rewolucyjną przewagę! Kirk Borne, główny danolog w Booz Allen Hamilton John K. Thompson jest dyrektorem do spraw technologii z ponad 30-letnim doświadczeniem w dziedzinie zaawansowanej analityki biznesowej. Obecnie odpowiada za globalny zespół zaawansowanej analityki i sztucznej inteligencji w CSL Behring. Interesuje go rozwijanie innowacyjnych technologii w celu zwiększenia wartości uzyskiwanej przez organizacje na całym świecie. Bogata wiedza i praktyczne doświadczenie autora zwiększają wartość tej doskonałej książki! Judith Hurwitz, prezeska Hurwitz & Associates
