QGIS Python Programming Cookbook. Automating geospatial development - Second Edition

Joel Lawhead

QGIS is a desktop geographic information system that facilitates data viewing, editing, and analysis. Paired with the most efficient scripting language—Python, we can write effective scripts that extend the core functionality of QGIS. Based on version QGIS 2.18, this book will teach you how to write Python code that works with spatial data to automate geoprocessing tasks in QGIS. It will cover topics such as querying and editing vector data and using raster data. You will also learn to create, edit, and optimize a vector layer for faster queries, reproject a vector layer, reduce the number of vertices in a vector layer without losing critical data, and convert a raster to a vector. Following this, you will work through recipes that will help you compose static maps, create heavily customized maps, and add specialized labels and annotations. As well as this, we’ll also share a few tips and tricks based on different aspects of QGIS.

Quantum Computing and Blockchain in Business. Exploring the applications, challenges, and collision of quantum computing and blockchain

Arunkumar Krishnakumar

Are quantum computing and Blockchain on a collision course or will they be the most important trends of this decade to disrupt industries and life as we know it?Fintech veteran and venture capitalist Arunkumar Krishnakumar cuts through the hype to bring us a first-hand look into how quantum computing and Blockchain together are redefining industries, including fintech, healthcare, and research. Through a series of interviews with domain experts, he also explores these technologies’ potential to transform national and global governance and policies – from how elections are conducted and how smart cities can be designed and optimized for the environment, to what cyberwarfare enabled by quantum cryptography might look like. In doing so, he also highlights challenges that these technologies have to overcome to go mainstream.Quantum Computing and Blockchain in Business explores the potential changes that quantum computing and Blockchain might bring about in the real world. After expanding on the key concepts and techniques, such as applied cryptography, qubits, and digital annealing, that underpin quantum computing and Blockchain, the book dives into how major industries will be impacted by these technologies. Lastly, we consider how the two technologies may come together in a complimentary way.

Ransomware w akcji. Przygotuj swoją firmę na atak cyberprzestępców

Artur Markiewicz

Cyberatak to kwestia czasu. Przygotuj się! Jeśli chodzi o cyberbezpieczeństwo, żadna firma nie jest bezpieczna. Pytanie, które należy sobie zadać, nie brzmi: czy zostaniemy zaatakowani? Odpowiedź na nie jest bowiem oczywista: tak, zostaniecie zaatakowani. Właściwe pytania są takie: Skąd będziemy wiedzieć, że zostaliśmy zaatakowani? Co wówczas zrobimy? Ten poradnik ma za zadanie zawczasu pomóc Ci na nie odpowiedzieć i wesprzeć Cię w momencie, w którym nastąpi atak typu ransomware. Tego typu atak polega na blokowaniu pracownikom dostępu do urządzeń i plików, a następnie żądaniu okupu za jego przywrócenie. Z książki dowiesz się między innymi: Czym jest atak ransomware i jakie są jego możliwe konsekwencje Jakie taktyki stosują przestępcy Jak może wyglądać atak na podstawie studiów przypadków Jak się zabezpieczyć, jeśli chodzi o sprzęt i ludzi W jaki sposób reagować na atak - z podziałem na role: od zarządu po szeregowego pracownika

Reconnaissance for Ethical Hackers. Focus on the starting point of data breaches and explore essential steps for successful pentesting

Glen D. Singh

This book explores reconnaissance techniques – the first step in discovering security vulnerabilities and exposed network infrastructure. It aids ethical hackers in understanding adversaries’ methods of identifying and mapping attack surfaces, such as network entry points, which enables them to exploit the target and steal confidential information.Reconnaissance for Ethical Hackers helps you get a comprehensive understanding of how threat actors are able to successfully leverage the information collected during the reconnaissance phase to scan and enumerate the network, collect information, and pose various security threats. This book helps you stay one step ahead in knowing how adversaries use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to successfully gain information about their targets, while you develop a solid foundation on information gathering strategies as a cybersecurity professional. The concluding chapters will assist you in developing the skills and techniques used by real adversaries to identify vulnerable points of entry into an organization and mitigate reconnaissance-based attacks.By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of reconnaissance, as well as learned how to secure yourself and your organization without causing significant disruption.
