Richard Johnson.

Sinossi

"SMB Protocol Internals and Deployment""SMB Protocol Internals and Deployment" is a definitive guide for professionals and engineers seeking a deep, nuanced understanding of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol—from its historical origins and layered architecture through to modern performance optimizations and emerging trends. Meticulously structured, the book begins with the evolution and technical foundations of SMB, unraveling its design motivations, core mechanics, and the intricacies of packet structure, session management, and command semantics. Readers will develop a solid grasp of how SMB negotiates features, manages state, and achieves reliable, high-throughput communication across diverse network transports.The text comprehensively addresses the security landscape of SMB deployments, with chapters dedicated to modern authentication methods like NTLM and Kerberos, encryption and signing, access control, and attack surface reduction. Practical guidance in security hardening, vulnerability mitigation, and forensic analysis empower readers to design and maintain robust file sharing environments. The book bridges deep protocol internals with enterprise deployment scenarios, offering design patterns for standalone, clustered, and hybrid configurations, as well as cloud-native integrations with platforms like Azure Files and AWS FSx.Emphasizing real-world applicability, the book explores cross-platform interoperability, performance benchmarking, troubleshooting, and advanced deployment architectures suitable for datacenters, virtualization, and container ecosystems. The final sections look forward to future developments—covering quantum-resistant cryptography, integration with object storage, and innovative approaches like zero trust and machine learning–driven optimization. With its exhaustive coverage and practical insights, "SMB Protocol Internals and Deployment" is an essential resource for IT architects, security professionals, and engineers tackling the challenges of modern enterprise file sharing.

Critical Moral Reasoning - An...

Mark T Holcombe

This textbook introduces students to contemporary moral issues through a casuistry-based approach. Unlike traditional anthologies, it emphasizes case based reasoning and empirical evidence to strengthen critical moral analysis. Students learn to distinguish legality from morality, formulate moral arguments, and apply normative theories such as utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and feminist ethics of care. 
Through authentic case studies ranging from tipping and piracy to abortion, civil protest, and AI ethics, the book provides an engaging framework for developing moral reasoning skills essential for today’s complex ethical landscape.

Deep sleep meditation Gentle...

Sara Dylan

In this audio listening experience, Sara Dylan will be leading you gently into a quiet meditation while listening to gentle rainfall. You are sheltering from the rain and looking about as the rain falls. 
You can choose what you see in your mind’s eye; you can look out at the rain as it falls or past the rain into the landscape; you can turn your head and look around and along the street or road. 
"Rain is predictable, calming, stable, and non-threatening," says Dr Shelby Harris, a behavioural sleep-medicine specialist. According to Harris, steady rainfall noises help lull the brain into falling asleep, block outside noises, and frequently induce a more meditative state that brings on relaxation. 
Gentle meditative music has been added to enhance your experience. 
 
This deep sleep meditation has been designed as a sitting meditation to be used at any time of the day, but it works just as well when you are lying down. 
Enjoy

Coding For Beginners - Learn the...

Alexander Cane

Coding is a very important part of our reality today. It is one of the fabrics that enable the modern world to run efficiently. I know you'd like to learn to code, or at least you know someone who would like to learn to code. But, perhaps you are being held back by the phrase "coding is too hard." I remember a friend telling me this once when I told him of my intention to learn to code. He was like, "Are you serious, it is very hard. You'd actually have to be a genius to learn how to code. In fact, you'd have to be some kind of mad man". We both knew I was neither a genius nor a madman. Fast forward 2 years later, now I know to code. Not just that, I'm also teaching everyday men and women the fundamentals of the subject.
There are lots of job opportunities for coders and programmers today. In fact, coding jobs are growing at an astounding rate. If the Internet and data are the infrastructures, then coders are the construction workers. As long as there is infrastructure to be built, construction workers will always have work. It is believed that this trend will continue for a long time. Now is the time to position yourself to benefit from this trend.
In this book, you'll be learning the fundamentals of coding languages, how to become an expert in the shortest time possible, and much more. I have attempted to demystify coding because coding is not that difficult, and all you need is a good teacher. This book has been written with you (a beginner) in mind. So there is no unnecessary jargon or words that will fly over your head.
