Hardware i testy penetracyjne. Przewodnik po metodach ataku i obrony

Jean-Georges Valle

Hardware i testy penetracyjne. Przewodnik po metodach ataku i obrony Wraz z rozwojem internetu rzeczy, a także upowszechnianiem się elektronicznego sterowania i kontrolowania różnych procesów przestępcy doskonalą techniki łamania zabezpieczeń systemów wbudowanych. Konsekwencje skutecznego ataku na jakiś kluczowy element infrastruktury mogą się okazać dotkliwe i niezwykle kosztowne. Oznacza to, że testowanie pod kątem bezpieczeństwa powinno dotyczyć sprzętu i systemów wbudowanych. Również elektronicy powinni umieć chronić przed atakami swoje urządzenia. Szczególną rolę w tym procesie odgrywają testy penetracyjne, których celem jest wyszukiwanie luk w zabezpieczeniach. Oto praktyczny przewodnik po bezpieczeństwie sprzętu. Opisuje podstawy sprzętowej architektury systemów wbudowanych i protokoły komunikacyjne stosowane w urządzeniach elektronicznych. Pokazuje, w jaki sposób można przechwytywać przesyłane dane i jak wykorzystać tę wiedzę do przeprowadzania ataków. W książce zaprezentowano techniki identyfikacji i klasyfikacji zagrożeń systemu. Przeanalizowano także zależności łączące system wbudowany z jego otoczeniem, przy czym zwrócono uwagę na możliwe podatności na ataki i konsekwencje ewentualnego odczytania oprogramowania układowego. W końcowej części natomiast omówiono zasady inżynierii wstecznej oprogramowania, umożliwiającej ataki na urządzenia. Znajdziemy tu również wskazówki dotyczące ochrony urządzeń przed najbardziej typowymi atakami. Dzięki książce dowiesz się, jak: testować systemy wbudowane i rozpoznawać ich najważniejsze funkcjonalności identyfikować i atakować krytyczne zabezpieczenia odczytywać i modyfikować dane zapisane w systemach wbudowanych badać zależności pomiędzy oprogramowaniem układowym a sprzętem atakować zabezpieczenia stosowane w różnych blokach funkcjonalnych urządzeń rozwijać laboratorium umożliwiające zaawansowane analizy i przygotowanie ataków Internet rzeczy również można skutecznie zaatakować!

HashiCorp Packer in Production. Efficiently manage sets of images for your digital transformation or cloud adoption journey

John Boero

Creating machine images can be time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. HashiCorp Packer enables you to automate this process by defining the configuration in a simple, declarative syntax. This configuration is then used to create machine images for multiple environments and cloud providers.The book begins by showing you how to create your first manifest while helping you understand the available components. You’ll then configure the most common built-in builder options for Packer and use runtime provisioners to reconfigure a source image for desired tasks. You’ll also learn how to control logging for troubleshooting errors in complex builds and explore monitoring options for multiple logs at once. As you advance, you’ll build on your initial manifest for a local application that’ll easily migrate to another builder or cloud. The chapters also help you get to grips with basic container image options in different formats while scaling large builds in production. Finally, you’ll develop a life cycle and retention policy for images, automate packer builds, and protect your production environment from nefarious plugins.By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped to smoothen collaboration and reduce the risk of errors by creating machine images consistently and automatically based on your defined configuration.
