2008 Data Breach Investigations Report


2008 Data Breach Investigations Report
English | 29 pages | PDF | 1 MB

INTRODUCTION: In a real sense, this report is a “post-mortem” examination of hundreds of data breach victims. Just as the forensic scientist seeks clues to the sequence of events surrounding a crime, the cause of death, and the identity of suspects, the Verizon Business Investigative Response team is focused on examining evidence of computer crime. Common to investigations in both the physical and cyber worlds is a dependence on cold, hard facts. Building a credible case often requires the collection of heaps of data.
To that end, the 2008 Verizon Business Data Breach Investigations Report integrates a vast amount of factual evidence from forensic investigations over the last four years. The study is unique in that it offers an objective, first-hand view of data breaches directly from the casebooks of our Investigative Response team. Tens of thousands of data points weave together the stories and statistics from compromise victims around the world. We have attempted to interpret their tales and it is our hope that your organization will learn from these findings and thereby avoid their end.

PHP | architect 2008 june (06)
60 pages | PDF | 3.2 Mb

Oh, and forward compatibility. Now optimization is definitely more Greg’s kind of thing than mine, and Marcus doesn’t have much spare time these days, so I took it on myself to focus on that other thing. I went to look at PHP 6. The good news is that from now, all phars created using PHP 5.2.1 and up should run under PHP 6 and vice versa. The structure’s unchanged. Sing hallelujah.
The bad news is that a phar with a default stub won’t run under versions of PHP prior to PHP 5.2.1, whereas we had PHP 5.1 support this time last week. Blame: b and the binary cast. The default stub calls unpack(), you see, and PHP 6 needs to be told that the second argument to unpack() is a binary string and not a Unicode string. The only ways we have of telling PHP 6 this will throw a parse error in PHP 5.2.0 and under. There’s no way to have both backward compatibility and forward compatibility: we have to choose....

Communicating and Mobile Systems: the Pi-Calculus


Richard A. Berk “Communicating and Mobile Systems: the Pi-Calculus"
Cambridge University Press | 1999-06-15 | ISBN: 0521658691 | 161 pages | Djvu | 6 MB

Communication is a fundamental and integral part of computing, whether between different computers on a network, or between components within a single computer. In this book Robin Milner introduces a new way of modelling communication that reflects its position. He treats computers and their programs as themselves built from communicating parts, rather than adding communication as an extra level of activity. Everything is introduced by means of examples, such as mobile phones, job schedualers, vending machines, data structures, and the objects of object-oriented programming. But the aim of the book is to develop a theory, the pi-calculus, in which these things can be treated rigorously. The pi-calculus differs from other models of communicating behaviour mainly in its treatment of mobility. The movement of a piece of data inside a computer program is treated exactly the same as the transfer of a message--or indeed an entire computer program--across the internet. One can also describe networks which reconfigure themselves. The calculus is very simple but powerful; its most prominent ingredient is the notion of a name. Its theory has two important ingredients: the concept of behavioural (or observational) equivalence, and the use of a new theory of types to classify patterns of interactive behaviour. The internet, and its communication protocols, fall within the scope of the theory just as much as computer programs, data structures, algorithms and programming languages. This book is the first textbook on the subject; it has been long-awaited by professionals and will be welcome by them, and their students.

Nightly Business Report Presents Lasting Leadership


Nightly Business Report Presents Lasting Leadership
Wharton School Publishing | 2004-10-22 | ISBN: 0131531182 | 288 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This book is well- organized with the various business leaders sorted into groups based on the specific type of contribution that each particular leader made to his/her place of business and to society itself. A brief introduction begins each chapter and this is followed by the spotlights of each of the twenty- five leaders. In each instance, the man or woman in the spotlight has a page taken from his/her history, showing how a specific challenge was faced and what was done to rise to the occasion. A leadership lesson is also shared, with plenty of quotations from the leaders that summarize what they think are the important components of sound management and what they feel are some of the significant reasons why their companies have prospered the way they have. Also included with each individual is a timeline of events illustrating the important life events for each of these business leaders.

This book is written like other management books in that it tries to be informative and pragmatic. It deals with real world events, changes in customer preferences, changes in the business climate, and trends in product and service offerings. But unlike many other management books, this one is more entertaining to read. The main reason lies in the fact that this book isn't one continuous text that emphasizes a specific style of management or management theory. Instead, it offers different ideas from many different managers showing how these men and women approached problems in different ways but still succeeded in the long run. Also, this book is easier to read because it is broken up into twenty- five small pieces. This makes it easier to read because there is always a place to pause and resume at a later time.

Overall, "Lasting Leadership" is a very good business book, one that demonstrates the importance of vision and strong decision making when it comes to successful business operation. Best of all, it shows how business can be approached in many different ways while still reaching the final end result: A successfully managed crisis that benefits rather than hinders a company's progress and sets it on the path for future success.

Windows Forms Programming in C#

Windows Forms Programming in C#
By Chris Sells Everything changes in the Microsoft .NET Framework and the C# language, including the creation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Windows Forms Programming in C# explains the Windows Forms (WinForms) environment to programmers who have some experience with .NET programming, and in the process (thanks to a clear and deliberate expository style) reveals a lot about .NET to less experienced developers. The overall effect is that almost every reader comes away with better knowledge of .NET, not just its user-interface libraries and behaviors. Author Chris Sells takes care to balance code samples with explanatory text, meaning that most chapters take on a characteristic "code, explanation, effect" style (in which "effect" is usually documented with a screen shot). This approach is effective, and serves both to answer "How do I..." questions and inspire "I should give that a try!" exploration. Once in a while, callouts will link two or more screen shots with a sample of code, graphically illustrating how code affects the appearance of a form and how it's represented in the Visual Studio development environment. On top of his clear teaching style, Sells calls attention to workarounds for shortcomings in the .NET environment (particularly where similar limitations don't exist in Microsoft Foundation Classes), helping to improve programmer productivity in the growing .NET environment.
