The failure of initial coin offerings (ICOs) is no accident, as most ICOs do not link to a real asset and are not regulated. Realizing the shortcomings of ICOs, the blockchain community and potential investors embraced security token offerings (STOs) and stablecoins enthusiastically.In this book, we start with an overview of the blockchain technology along with its basic concepts. We introduce the concept behind STO, and cover the basic requirements for launching a STO and the relevant regulations governing its issuance. We discuss U.S. securities laws development in launching security digital tokens using blockchain technology and show some real use cases. We also explore the process of STO launches and legal considerations. We introduce popular security tokens in the current blockchain space and talk about how to develop a security token DApp, including smart contract development for ERC1404 tokens. Later, you'll learn to build frontend side functionalities to interact with smart contracts. Finally, we discuss stablecoin technical design functionalities for issuing and operating STO tokens by interacting with Ethereum smart contracts.By the end of this book, you will have learned more about STOs and gained a detailed knowledge of building relevant applications—all with the help of practical examples.
Security with Go. Explore the power of Golang to secure host, web, and cloud services
John Daniel Leon
Go is becoming more and more popular as a language for security experts. Its wide use in server and cloud environments, its speed and ease of use, and its evident capabilities for data analysis, have made it a prime choice for developers who need to think about security.Security with Go is the first Golang security book, and it is useful for both blue team and red team applications. With this book, you will learn how to write secure software, monitor your systems, secure your data, attack systems, and extract information.Defensive topics include cryptography, forensics, packet capturing, and building secure web applications.Offensive topics include brute force, port scanning, packet injection, web scraping, social engineering, and post exploitation techniques.

Security+(R) Practice Tests. Prepare for, practice, and pass the CompTIA Security+ exam
Mike Chapple
Security+ certification is the most popular entry-level certification for cybersecurity professionals. It has no work experience requirement, making it accessible to everyone willing to put in the time to prepare for the exam. Security+? Practice Tests are the perfect tools to prepare for the CompTIA Security+ exam.The first six chapters each cover one of the six Security+ domains. Each of those chapters contains around 100 practice test questions covering the material from that domain. The last two chapters each contain a full-length Security+ practice test that’s designed to assess your readiness to take the actual test. At the end of each chapter, you’ll find the answers to all of the questions along with detailed explanations to help reinforce your learning of the material.By the end of the book, you’ll have enough practice to easily ace the CompTIA Security+ exam.
Segment Routing in MPLS Networks. Transition from traditional MPLS to SR-MPLS with TI-LFA FRR
Hemant Sharma, Wendell Odom
In this book, you will learn about segment routing (SR), a cornerstone of modern networking, and topology-independent loop-free alternate (TI-LFA), with hands-on labs to hit the ground running. Written by a key contributor to global segment routing multiprotocol label switching (SR-MPLS) network designs, this book makes learning SR-MPLS both accessible and insightful.The book offers an extensive learning path, taking you from a traditional MPLS network using the label distribution protocol (LDP) to a modern SR-MPLS network using SR, and provides a holistic view of their interworking. You’ll also explore TI-LFA fast reroute protection scenarios, and find out how SR-MPLS strengthens network reliability with its source routing paradigm. Using intermediate system–to–intermediate system (IS-IS) as the foundational link-state routing protocol, the chapters ensure that you get a clear understanding of both SR and IS-IS. Following a consistent network topology throughout, this book enables smooth transitions between scenarios, helping you master the technical concepts without distraction.By the end of this book, you’ll have a solid grasp of MPLS, SR-MPLS, and TI-LFA fast reroute techniques, ready to tackle real-world networking challenges with confidence.
