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.
Recorded Sight Translation Revisited
Paula Gorszczyńska
The book is a postdoctoral publication investigating the potential of recorded sight translation (SiT) to optimize translation of written texts from English into Polish. The thesis it is based on aimed to verify whether and to what an extent interpreters and translators of Polish origin working from English into Polish differ in terms of how quickly and accurately they perform the same recorded SiT task.

Developers struggle to find an easy-to-follow learning resource for implementing Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models. RNNs are the state-of-the-art model in deep learning for dealing with sequential data. From language translation to generating captions for an image, RNNs are used to continuously improve results. This book will teach you the fundamentals of RNNs, with example applications in Python and the TensorFlow library. The examples are accompanied by the right combination of theoretical knowledge and real-world implementations of concepts to build a solid foundation of neural network modeling.Your journey starts with the simplest RNN model, where you can grasp the fundamentals. The book then builds on this by proposing more advanced and complex algorithms. We use them to explain how a typical state-of-the-art RNN model works. From generating text to building a language translator, we show how some of today's most powerful AI applications work under the hood.After reading the book, you will be confident with the fundamentals of RNNs, and be ready to pursue further study, along with developing skills in this exciting field.
Zofia Tarajło-Lipowska
Komisarz Cichosz, znany już z powieści Śmierć dziekana, podejmuje się rozwiązania zagadki kolejnego morderstwa na Uniwersytecie Kuropaskim. Tym razem ofiarą jest dyrektorka Instytutu Semikomunikacji Interkulturowej Hellada Słoneczny. Sprawy komplikują się, gdy do zespołu śledczych dołącza była pracownica Instytutu Andżela (Aniela) Mentel. Interesujące portrety psychologiczne postaci, barwny język, przewrotny humor i akademickie realia sprawiają, że książka zainteresuje nie tylko miłośników kryminałów. Nie została potwierdzona, ani też obalona teoria, że we wszystkich przypadkach zabójcą jest ten sam szaleniec, który w ten sposób próbuje wyrazić oburzenie z powodu różnych patologii środowiska. I żebyście się nie wygadali przed podejrzanymi ani świadkami! Cicho-sza! – ostrzegł Cichosz, nagle zdając sobie sprawę, że zabrzmiało to jakby przedstawiał sam siebie. (fragment powieści) O Autorce Prof. dr hab. Zofia Tarajło-Lipowska, bohemistka i polonistka, jest autorką wielu publikacji, m.in. "Historii literatury czeskiej" (Wyd. im. Ossolińskich 2010) oraz książek popularnonaukowych o języku czeskim: "Kapoan na opak. O czeskim dla Polaków, mało zaawansowanych, ale mocno zainteresowanych" (Wyd. Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego 2000) i "Nowy Kapoan. Strzel i traf do polsko-czeskich językowych gaf" (Wyd. Afera 2013). Znajomość środowiska uniwersyteckiego wykorzystała też w twórczości beletrystycznej, w satyrycznych powieściach kryminalnych: "Śmierć dziekana" (Wyd. Lech i Czech 2014) i "Recykling" (Wyd. e-bookowo 2017).
Edgar Wallace
J. G. Reeder is a shabby little man with red hair and weak eyes. However, his extraordinary mind is rapier sharp. Red Aces is the fourth and last of Edgar Wallaces JG Reeder books, featuring the diffident sleuth with the furled umbrella in three novelette-length adventures. Here are three thrilling episodes torn from his casebook: Red Aces about a man who gambles high and lives in fear; Kennedy the Con Man, reveals the impeccable mask stripped from a fiend, and finally The Case of Jo Attymer, a thoroughly intriguing mystery involving murder on Londons Thames. This is vintage Wallace, with no great depths but a good deal of humor and plenty of engaging goings-on along Wallaces beloved Thames.
Hugh Pendexter
The whole story revolves around the Northern Valley, which at the end of the 18th century had a great debt for the state, about 5 million. This noble kingdom, from which the state of Tennessee was to be created, was conquered by the confiscation and rifles of the settlers over the mountains and cost North Carolina neither blood nor money. The republic was too young to develop. This is a historic event for North Carolina. How could she get out of this situation?
Robert E. Howard
The singing of the swords was a deathly clamor in the brain of Godric de Villehard. Blood and sweat veiled his eyes and in the instant of blindness he felt a keen point pierce a joint of his hauberk and sting deep into his ribs. Smiting blindly, he felt the jarring impact that meant his sword had gone home, and snatching an instants grace, he flung back his vizor and wiped the redness from his eyes.
