Book Description
El lenguaje de programación Python se ha convertido por méritos propios en uno de los más interesantes que existen en la actualidad, especialmente recomendable para las personas que se inician en el mundo de la programación. Su curva de aprendizaje no es tan grande como en otros lenguajes, lo que unido a una sintaxis legible, limpia y visualmente muy agradable, al hecho de ser software libre (con la comunidad de usuarios especialmente activa y solidaria que eso conlleva) y a la potencia que nos proporciona, tanto por el lenguaje en sí como por la enorme cantidad de librerías de que dispone, lo hacen apetecible a un amplio espectro de programadores, desde el novel al experto. Python se usa actualmente, debido a su extraordinaria adaptabilidad, a la posibilidad de incorporar código desarrollado en otros lenguajes o a la existencia de módulos y herramientas para casi cualquier campo imaginable, en prácticamente todos los ámbitos informáticos, desde el diseño web a la supercomputación. Este libro pretende ser una guía útil para descubrir, desde cero y apoyándose en multitud de ejemplos explicados paso a paso, sus fundamentos y aplicaciones. Para ello no solamente se recorrerán los elementos principales del lenguaje y su filosofía, sino que se conocerán también varias de las librerías de su ecosistema que nos permitan crear aplicaciones gráficas completas y visualmente atractivas.

Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
Deep learning is often viewed as the exclusive domain of math PhDs and big tech companies. But as this hands-on guide demonstrates, programmers comfortable with Python can achieve impressive results in deep learning with little math background, small amounts of data, and minimal code. How? With fastai, the first library to provide a consistent interface to the most frequently used deep learning applications. Authors Jeremy Howard and Sylvain Gugger, the creators of fastai, show you how to train a model on a wide range of tasks using fastai and PyTorch. You’ll also dive progressively further into deep learning theory to gain a complete understanding of the algorithms behind the scenes. Train models in computer vision, natural language processing, tabular data, and collaborative filtering Learn the latest deep learning techniques that matter most in practice Improve accuracy, speed, and reliability by understanding how deep learning models work Discover how to turn your models into web applications Implement deep learning algorithms from scratch Consider the ethical implications of your work Gain insight from the foreword by PyTorch cofounder, Soumith Chintala

Penetration Testing
Author: Georgia Weidman
Publisher: No Starch Press
ISBN: 1593275641
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
Penetration testers simulate cyber attacks to find security weaknesses in networks, operating systems, and applications. Information security experts worldwide use penetration techniques to evaluate enterprise defenses. In Penetration Testing, security expert, researcher, and trainer Georgia Weidman introduces you to the core skills and techniques that every pentester needs. Using a virtual machine–based lab that includes Kali Linux and vulnerable operating systems, you’ll run through a series of practical lessons with tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite. As you follow along with the labs and launch attacks, you’ll experience the key stages of an actual assessment—including information gathering, finding exploitable vulnerabilities, gaining access to systems, post exploitation, and more. Learn how to: –Crack passwords and wireless network keys with brute-forcing and wordlists –Test web applications for vulnerabilities –Use the Metasploit Framework to launch exploits and write your own Metasploit modules –Automate social-engineering attacks –Bypass antivirus software –Turn access to one machine into total control of the enterprise in the post exploitation phase You’ll even explore writing your own exploits. Then it’s on to mobile hacking—Weidman’s particular area of research—with her tool, the Smartphone Pentest Framework. With its collection of hands-on lessons that cover key tools and strategies, Penetration Testing is the introduction that every aspiring hacker needs.

Introduction to Embedded Systems, Second Edition
Author: Edward Ashford Lee
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262340526
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 562
Book Description
An introduction to the engineering principles of embedded systems, with a focus on modeling, design, and analysis of cyber-physical systems. The most visible use of computers and software is processing information for human consumption. The vast majority of computers in use, however, are much less visible. They run the engine, brakes, seatbelts, airbag, and audio system in your car. They digitally encode your voice and construct a radio signal to send it from your cell phone to a base station. They command robots on a factory floor, power generation in a power plant, processes in a chemical plant, and traffic lights in a city. These less visible computers are called embedded systems, and the software they run is called embedded software. The principal challenges in designing and analyzing embedded systems stem from their interaction with physical processes. This book takes a cyber-physical approach to embedded systems, introducing the engineering concepts underlying embedded systems as a technology and as a subject of study. The focus is on modeling, design, and analysis of cyber-physical systems, which integrate computation, networking, and physical processes. The second edition offers two new chapters, several new exercises, and other improvements. The book can be used as a textbook at the advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate level and as a professional reference for practicing engineers and computer scientists. Readers should have some familiarity with machine structures, computer programming, basic discrete mathematics and algorithms, and signals and systems.
