Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Understand the challenges of implementing a cyber warfare strategy and conducting cyber warfare. This book addresses the knowledge gaps and misconceptions of what it takes to wage cyber warfare from the technical standpoint of those with their hands on the keyboard.You will quickly appreciate the difficulty and complexity of executing warfare within the cyber domain. Included is a detailed illustration of cyber warfare against the backdrop of national and international policy, laws, and conventions relating to war.Waging Cyber War details technical resources and activities required by the cyber war fighter. Even non-technical readers will gain an understanding of how the obstacles encountered are not easily mitigated and the irreplaceable nature of many cyber resources.You will walk away more informed on how war is conducted from a cyber perspective, and perhaps why it shouldn't be waged. And you will come to know how cyber warfare has been covered unrealistically, technically misrepresented, and misunderstood by many.What You'll LearnUnderstand the concept of warfare and how cyber fits into the war-fighting domainBe aware of what constitutes and is involved in defining war and warfare as well as how cyber fits in that paradigm and vice versaDiscover how the policies being put in place to plan and conduct cyber warfare reflect a lack of understanding regarding the technical means and resources necessary to perform such actionsKnow what it means to do cyber exploitation, attack, and intelligence gathering; when one is preferred over the other; and their specific values and impacts on each otherBe familiar with the need for, and challenges of, enemy attributionRealize how to develop and scope a target in cyber warfareGrasp the concept of self-attribution: what it is, the need to avoid it, and its impactSee what goes into establishing the access from which you will conduct cyber warfare against an identified targetAppreciate how association affects cyber warfareRecognize the need for resource resilience, control, and ownershipWalk through the misconceptions and an illustrative analogy of why cyber warfare doesn't always work as it is prescribedWho This Book Is ForAnyone curious about warfare in the era of cyber everything, those involved in cyber operations and cyber warfare, and security practitioners and policy or decision makers. The book is also for anyone with a cell phone, smart fridge, or other computing device as you are a part of the attack surface.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 212 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -AuthorBen Brumm begins by helping you understand what a database is, and getting you set up with a sandbox in which to practice the SQL that you are learning. From there, easily digestible chapters cover, point-by-point, the different aspects of writing queries to get data out of a database. You'll also learn about creating tables and getting data into the database. Crucial topics such as working with nulls and writing analytic queries are given the attention they deserve, helping you to avoid pitfalls when writing queries for production use.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 460 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Discover how to write manuscripts in Markdown and translate them with Pandoc into different output formats. You'll use Markdown to annotate text formatting information with a strong focus on semantic information: you can annotate your text with information about where chapters and sections start, but not how chapter and heading captions should be formatted. As a result, you'll decouple the structure of a text from how it is visualized and make it easier for you to produce different kinds of output. The same text can easily be formatted as HTML, PDF, or Word documents, with various visual styles, by tools that understand the markup annotations.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 152 pp. Englisch.
