Summary

Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing or white-hat hacking, is a practice of deliberately probing and assessing the security of computer systems, networks, applications, and other digital environments in order to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could potentially be exploited by malicious hackers. The primary goal of ethical hacking is to proactively uncover these vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by unauthorized individuals or groups, thereby helping organizations strengthen their security measures and protect their sensitive information. Key aspects of ethical hacking include: Authorization: Ethical hackers must obtain proper authorization from the owner or administrator of the system before conducting any tests. This ensures that the testing process remains within legal and ethical boundaries. Methodology: Ethical hacking involves a systematic and structured approach to identify vulnerabilities. This includes various techniques like network scanning, penetration testing, social engineering, and vulnerability assessment. Scope: The scope of an ethical hacking engagement is defined before the testing begins. It outlines the systems, applications, and networks that will be tested. Staying within the defined scope ensures that only authorized systems are tested. Information Gathering: Ethical hackers gather information about the target systems, including their architecture, software versions, and potential weak points. This information helps them plan their testing approach. Vulnerability Analysis: Ethical hackers use various tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weak points in the target systems. These vulnerabilities could include software bugs, insecure configurations, or design flaws. Exploitation: In a controlled environment, ethical hackers might attempt to exploit the identified vulnerabilities to demonstrate the potential impact of a real attack. However, they stop short of causing...

    For three millennia, the legend of Atlantis has gripped the imaginations of explorers, philosophers, occultists, treasure hunters, historians, and archaeologists. Until now, it has remained shrouded in myth. Yet, like ancient Troy, is it possible that this fabled city actually existed? If so, what happened to it and what are its secrets? The fascinating reality of Atlantis's epic glory and destruction are uncovered, finally, in these pages in thrilling detail by the iconoclastic historian Gavin Menzies. Meticulously analyzing exciting new geologic research, recently unearthed archaeological artifacts, and cutting-edge DNA evidence, Menzies has made a jaw-dropping discovery: Atlantis truly did exist, and was part of the incredibly advanced Minoan civilization that extended from its Mediterranean base to England, India, and even America.

    "An essential guide for women interested in standing up for a fairer, safer online world." Publisher's Weekly 
"Timely." Booklist 
When Nina Jankowicz's first book on online disinformation was profiled in The New Yorker, she expected attention but not an avalanche of abuse and harassment, predominantly from men, online. 
All women in politics, journalism and academia now face untold levels of harassment and abuse in online spaces. Together with the world's leading extremism researchers, Jankowicz wrote one of the definitive reports on this troubling phenomenon. 
Drawing on rigorous research into the treatment of Kamala Harris - the first woman vice-president - and other political and public figures, Nina also uses her own experiences to provide a step-by-step plan for dealing with harassment, abuse, doxing and disinformation in online spaces. 
The result is a must-read for researchers, journalists and all women with a profile in the online space.

Burrillo widens his range beyond his popular Behind the Bears Ears.After an upstate New York childhood and a bartending stint in New Orleans's French Quarter, seasonal resort work led R. E.
