Hands-On Design Patterns with C++. Solve common C++ problems with modern design patterns and build robust applications - Second Edition

Fedor G. Pikus

C++ is a general-purpose programming language designed for efficiency, performance, and flexibility. Design patterns are commonly accepted solutions to well-recognized design problems. In essence, they are a library of reusable components, only for software architecture, and not for a concrete implementation. This book helps you focus on the design patterns that naturally adapt to your needs, and on the patterns that uniquely benefit from the features of C++. Armed with the knowledge of these patterns, you’ll spend less time searching for solutions to common problems and tackle challenges with the solutions developed from experience. You’ll also explore that design patterns are a concise and efficient way to communicate, as patterns are a familiar and recognizable solution to a specific problem and can convey a considerable amount of information with a single line of code. By the end of this book, you’ll have a deep understanding of how to use design patterns to write maintainable, robust, and reusable software.

Hartowanie Linuksa we wrogich środowiskach sieciowych. Ochrona serwera od TLS po Tor

Kyle Rankin

Bezpieczeństwo serwerów - od TLS do TOR W dzisiejszym świecie, w którym wiele codziennych aktywności odbywa się przez internet, bardzo dużo zależy od bezpieczeństwa serwerów. Kiedy zwykli ludzie tworzą społeczności, komunikują się i robią zakupy online, hakerzy niestrudzenie przeglądają sieć, poszukując słabych punktów. Atakują różne obiekty: mogą to być agencje rządowe, elektrownie i banki, ale równie dobrze ich celem może się stać jakakolwiek sieć komputerów. Chodzi o uzyskanie wrażliwych informacji, zbiorów danych osobowych czy wreszcie przejęcie kontroli nad systemem. Co gorsza, agresorzy odnoszą sukcesy nawet w przypadku sieci, w których wdrożono złożone i kosztowne zabezpieczenia. Dzięki tej książce poznasz sprawdzone i niezbyt skomplikowane procedury, które pozwolą Ci na zahartowanie swoich danych. Zawarte tu treści przedstawiono w sposób bardzo praktyczny, z uwzględnieniem najnowszych osiągnięć w dziedzinie zabezpieczania systemów. Najpierw zapoznasz się z ogólnym ujęciem tematyki bezpieczeństwa systemów, w tym stacji roboczych, serwerów i sieci. Następnie dowiesz się, w jaki sposób zahartować specyficzne usługi, takie jak serwery WWW, pocztę elektroniczną, systemy DNS i bazy danych. Na końcu książki znalazł się rozdział poświęcony reagowaniu na incydenty - to również jest wiedza potrzebna każdemu administratorowi. Najciekawsze zagadnienia: Hartowanie stacji roboczych, w tym stacji roboczych administratorów Zabezpieczanie infrastruktury i ustawienie zapory sieciowej Zaawansowane hartowanie serwerów poczty elektronicznej Korzystanie z podstawowych i zaawansowanych właściwości usługi DNS Poruszanie się w sieci TOR Po pierwsze: zabezpiecz swoją sieć i zahartuj swój system! Kyle Rankin od wielu lat zajmuje się administrowaniem systemów informatycznych. Jest uznanym ekspertem w dziedzinie zabezpieczania infrastruktury, architektury, automatyzacji i rozwiązywania problemów z tym związanych. Rankin jest nagradzanym felietonistą magazynu "Linux Journal" i przewodniczącym rady doradczej Purism.
