Professional Penetration Testing: Creating and Learning in a Hacking Lab, Third Edition walks the reader through the entire process of setting up and running a pen test lab. Penetration testing—the act of testing a computer network to find security vulnerabilities before they are maliciously exploited—is a crucial component of information security in any organization. Chapters cover planning, metrics, and methodologies, the details of running a pen test, including identifying and verifying vulnerabilities, and archiving, reporting and management practices. The material presented will be useful to beginners through advanced practitioners.Here, author Thomas Wilhelm has delivered penetration testing training to countless security professionals, and now through the pages of this book, the reader can benefit from his years of experience as a professional penetration tester and educator. After reading this book, the reader will be able to create a personal penetration test lab that can deal with real-world vulnerability scenarios. "...this is a detailed and thorough examination of both the technicalities and the business of pen-testing, and an excellent starting point for anyone getting into the field." –Network Security

Machine Learning for Low-Latency Communications presents the principles and practice of various deep learning methodologies for mitigating three critical latency components: access latency, transmission latency, and processing latency. In particular, the book develops learning to estimate methods via algorithm unrolling and multiarmed bandit for reducing access latency by enlarging the number of concurrent transmissions with the same pilot length. Task-oriented learning to compress methods based on information bottleneck are given to reduce the transmission latency via avoiding unnecessary data transmission.Lastly, three learning to optimize methods for processing latency reduction are given which leverage graph neural networks, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and domain knowledge. Low-latency communications attracts considerable attention from both academia and industry, given its potential to support various emerging applications such as industry automation, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality and telesurgery. Despite the great promise, achieving low-latency communications is critically challenging. Supporting massive connectivity incurs long access latency, while transmitting high-volume data leads to substantial transmission latency.

The Essential Criteria of Graph Databases collects several truly innovative graph applications in asset-liability and liquidity risk management to spark readers’ interest and further broaden the reach and applicable domains of graph systems. Although AI has incredible potential, it has three weak links: 1. Blackbox, lack of explainability, 2. Silos, slews of siloed systems across the AI ecosystem, 3. Low-performance, as most of ML/DL based AI systems are SLOW. Hence, fixing these problems paves the road to strong and effective AI.
