Linux Server. Bezpieczeństwo i ochrona sieci
Chris Binnie
W sieci trwa ciągły wyścig zbrojeń. Na systemy internetowe czyha cała armia napastników o różnych umiejętnościach i intencjach. Niektórzy z nich mogą poszczycić się wysoką skutecznością, a efekty ich działań są tragiczne. Niezależnie od tego, jak nowocześnie i doskonale zabezpieczysz usługę sieciową, prędzej czy później stanie się ona podatna na ataki. Jedyne, co możesz zrobić, to cały czas pozostać w pełnej gotowości, odpowiednio wcześnie wykrywać próby ataku i sukcesywnie je neutralizować. Niniejsza książka jest przeznaczona dla administratorów linuksowych serwerów usług sieciowych, jednakże korzystać może z niej każdy, kto interesuje się bezpieczeństwem systemów internetowych. Przedstawiono tu m.in. scenariusze sytuacji naruszeń bezpieczeństwa oraz sposobów ich wykrywania i neutralizacji. Można je wykorzystać dla różnych dystrybucji systemu Linux i innych systemów z rodziny Unix. Pokazano również szereg narzędzi i technik stosowanych do prowadzenia ataków sieciowych oraz to, jak administrator może je wykorzystywać. Jednym słowem, masz w ręku znakomite i aktualne kompendium wiedzy, które ułatwi Ci utrzymanie odpowiedniego poziomu bezpieczeństwa serwera. Najciekawsze zagadnienia: skanowanie portów i ukrywanie serwera w sieci integralność systemu plików ataki lustrzane dzienniki systemowe i skrypty w służbie bezpieczeństwa złośliwe oprogramowanie i łamanie haseł za pomocą narzędzia Hashcat ataki SQL injection i wykorzystania luk w SQL Uważaj! Wrogowie w sieci zawsze są blisko! Christopher Binnie jest konsultantem technicznym. Posiada ponad dwudziestoletnie doświadczenie w pracy z systemami Linux. Jest autorem wielu artykułów publikowanych w takich czasopismach, jak „Linux Magazine” czy „ADMIN Magazine”. Jednym z jego osiągnięć było zaprojektowanie i zbudowanie platformy streamingowej, za pośrednictwem której sygnał wideo w rozdzielczości HD był przesyłany do 77 krajów świata.

Linux. Wiersz poleceń i skrypty powłoki. Biblia. Wydanie IV
Christine Bresnahan, Richard Blum
Odkąd systemy linuksowe mają atrakcyjne interfejsy graficzne, wielu administratorów wykonuje swoje zadania za pomocą myszy. Wiersz poleceń jest o wiele trudniejszym interfejsem, ten sposób pracy jednak pozwala na wykorzystanie pełnego potencjału Linuksa i uzyskanie dostępu do funkcji, które w inny sposób byłyby nieosiągalne. Umiejętność pisania skryptów wiersza poleceń i powłoki Linuksa wciąż jest niezwykle ważna dla każdego administratora, któremu zależy na efektywnym działaniu systemu. Ta książka, podobnie jak inne z serii "Biblia", zawiera zarówno niezbędne teoretyczne informacje, jak i mnóstwo praktycznych wskazówek i instrukcji, dzięki czemu jest znakomitą pomocą w nauce pisania skryptów dla Linuksa. Pokazano tu, kiedy efektywniej jest używać interfejsu graficznego, a kiedy lepiej sięgnąć do wiersza poleceń. Opisano elementy systemu Linux i przedstawiono podstawowe informacje o powłoce, a także o pracy w wierszu poleceń. Zaprezentowano techniki przetwarzania danych użytkownika w skryptach, pracę z systemami plików, wreszcie - sposoby instalacji i aktualizacji oprogramowania. Sporo miejsca poświęcono pracy z wyrażeniami regularnymi i zaawansowanym metodom manipulacji danymi, pokazano też, jak zmodyfikować skrypty powłoki, aby działały w innych powłokach Linuksa. Najciekawsze zagadnienia: tworzenie praktycznych skryptów i narzędzi skryptowych i zarządzanie nimi alternatywne powłoki, takie jak dash i zsh edytory gawk i sed podstawowe i rozszerzone wyrażenia regularne tworzenie skryptów powłoki dla pulpitów graficznych w środowiskach KDE i GNOME pisanie podstawowych i zaawansowanych funkcji Wiersz poleceń: oto pełny potencjał Linuksa!
Donald A. Tevault
Wiele zadań administracyjnych w Linuksie można wykonać, korzystając z graficznego interfejsu użytkownika. Jednak prawdziwą moc swojego systemu uwolnisz za pomocą skryptów wiersza poleceń i powłoki. W ten sposób możesz efektywnie automatyzować powtarzalne zadania, precyzyjnie skonfigurować system, a także zapewnić wysoki stopień bezpieczeństwa. Ta praktyczna książka świetnie posłuży początkującym i bardziej zaawansowanym administratorom Linuksa. Będzie też pomocna w przygotowaniu się do egzaminu CompTIA Linux+ / Linux Professional Institute. Rozpoczniesz od podstaw korzystania z powłoki, aby w kolejnych rozdziałach przejść do bardziej zaawansowanych koncepcji. Zobaczysz, jak tworzyć skrypty automatyzujące powtarzalne zadania administracyjne, a także wiele innych przydatnych rozwiązań. W książce znajdziesz również praktyczne, gotowe do użycia skrypty. Zostały one opracowane w taki sposób, by ułatwić zarządzanie systemem, wspomagać naukę omawianych koncepcji i pomagać podczas rozwiązywania problemów. Przede wszystkim skoncentrujesz się na powłoce bash, ale zapoznasz się również z powłoką Zsh i PowerShell. W książce: koncepcja powłoki i różne rodzaje powłok przekierowanie, potok i polecenia złożone filtry strumieni tekstowych i dynamiczne przetwarzanie danych funkcje, biblioteki i tworzenie modułowych skryptów powłoki struktura przenośnych skryptów powłoki Poświęć skryptowi minutę, a zaoszczędzisz godziny!

The Assembly language is the lowest level human readable programming language on any platform. Knowing the way things are on the Assembly level will help developers design their code in a much more elegant and efficient way. It may be produced by compiling source code from a high-level programming language (such as C/C++) but can also be written from scratch. Assembly code can be converted to machine code using an assembler.The first section of the book starts with setting up the development environment on Windows and Linux, mentioning most common toolchains. The reader is led through the basic structure of CPU and memory, and is presented the most important Assembly instructions through examples for both Windows and Linux, 32 and 64 bits. Then the reader would understand how high level languages are translated into Assembly and then compiled into object code. Finally we will cover patching existing code, either legacy code without sources or a running code in same or remote process.
