  In the interconnected world of modern technology, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the unseen threads that weave together software systems, enabling seamless interaction between diverse platforms. However, this integration also opens up numerous avenues for potential security threats. "Hacking API: Navigating the Intricacies of API Security and Ethical Hacking" is an essential guide designed to arm IT professionals, security enthusiasts, and developers with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand, test, and secure APIs against these threats. 
  This book delves deep into the architecture of APIs across various protocols like REST, SOAP, and GraphQL, highlighting their inherent vulnerabilities and demonstrating how these can be exploited ethically to strengthen security measures. It begins with a foundational overview of API technology—explaining its importance, functionality, and pivotal role in today’s digital ecosystem. 
  As you progress through the chapters, you'll be introduced to the common vulnerabilities as highlighted by the OWASP API Top 10, complete with recent examples and case studies of notable API breaches that shook the tech world. This not only illustrates the potential impacts of attacks but also sets the stage for the subsequent sections on ethical hacking. 
  With hands-on exercises, real-world scenarios, and expert advice, this book ensures that by the time you turn the last page, you’ll be better prepared to navigate the complexities of API security. Whether you’re looking to enhance your existing skills or start your journey into the world of ethical hacking, "Hacking API" serves as your indispensable companion in the quest to make the digital world a safer place.

  Unmasked - COVID Community and...

  Unmasked is the story of what happened in Okoboji, a small Iowan tourist town, when a collective turn from the coronavirus to the economy occurred in the COVID summer of 2020. State political failures, local negotiations among political and public health leaders, and community (dis)belief about the virus resulted in Okoboji being declared a hotspot just before the Independence Day weekend, when an influx of half a million people visit the town. 
   
   
   
  The story is both personal and political. Author Emily Mendenhall, an anthropologist at Georgetown University, grew up in Okoboji, and her family still lives there. As the events unfolded, Mendenhall was in Okoboji, where she spoke formally with over 100 people and observed a community that rejected public health guidance, revealing deep-seated mistrust in outsiders and strong commitments to local thinking. Unmasked is a fascinating and heartbreaking account of where people put their trust, and how isolationist popular beliefs can be in America's small communities.

  The Fabric of Cosmos -...

  The story of dark matter begins not in the distant reaches of the universe, but in the questions that humans have asked for centuries. What is the universe made of? Why do galaxies behave the way they do? As our tools for observing the cosmos improved, so did our understanding—but with every answer came more mystery. In the early 20th century, astronomers began to notice strange things. Galaxies were spinning in ways that defied the laws of physics, at least as we understood them. The stars on the outer edges of galaxies were moving far too fast to be held together by the gravity from visible matter alone. There had to be something else out there, something invisible, something we couldn’t detect with telescopes. This was one of the first big hints that something massive and unseen—what we now call dark matter—was shaping the universe. 
  Modern cosmology was born when scientists started to view the universe not just as a collection of stars and planets, but as a dynamic, evolving structure governed by deep physical laws. Einstein’s theory of general relativity reshaped our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Suddenly, the universe was a place where space could bend, expand, and even accelerate. These ideas led to the Big Bang theory and the realization that the cosmos had a beginning and has been changing ever since. But as astronomers began mapping out galaxies and measuring their movements, inconsistencies popped up. The math didn’t add up unless we assumed that most of the mass in the universe was missing from our view. That mass didn’t emit light, didn’t reflect it, and didn’t absorb it. It was dark, but it was there.
