Do you want to become a proficient specialist in cybersecurity and you want to learn the fundamentals of ethical hacking? Do you want to have a detailed overview of all the basic tools provided by the best Linux distribution for ethical hacking?
Have you scoured the internet looking for the perfect resource to help you get started with hacking, but became overwhelmed by the amount of disjointed information available on the topic of hacking and cybersecurity? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the book for you.
Hacking is becoming more complex and sophisticated, and companies are scrambling to protect their digital assets against threats by setting up cybersecurity systems. These systems need to be routinely checked to ensure that these systems do the jobs they’re designed to do.
The people who can do these checks are penetration testers and ethical hackers, programmers who are trained to find and exploit vulnerabilities in networks and proffer ways to cover them up. Now more than ever, companies are looking for penetration testers and cybersecurity professionals who have practical, hands-on experience with Kali Linux and other open-source hacking tools.

For more than twenty years, serious C programmers have relied on one book for practical, in-depth knowledge of the programming interfaces that drive the UNIX and Linux kernels: W. Richard Stevens’ Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment. Now, once again, Rich’s colleague Steve Rago has thoroughly updated this classic work.
The new third edition supports today’s leading platforms, reflects new technical advances and best practices, and aligns with Version 4 of the Single UNIX Specification. Steve carefully retains the spirit and approach that have made this book so valuable. Building on Rich’s pioneering work, he begins with files, directories, and processes, carefully laying the groundwork for more advanced techniques, such as signal handling and terminal I/O.
He also thoroughly covers threads and multithreaded programming, and socket-based IPC. This edition covers more than seventy new interfaces, including POSIX asynchronous I/O, spin locks, barriers, and POSIX semaphores. Most obsolete interfaces have been removed, except for a few that are ubiquitous.

Device drivers make it possible for your software to communicate with your hardware, and because every operating system has specific requirements, driver writing is nontrivial. When developing for FreeBSD, you’ve probably had to scour the Internet and dig through the kernel sources to figure out how to write the drivers you need.
Thankfully, that stops now. In FreeBSD Device Drivers, Joseph Kong will teach you how to master everything from the basics of building and running loadable kernel modules to more complicated topics like thread synchronization. After a crash course in the different FreeBSD driver frameworks, extensive tutorial sections dissect real-world drivers like the parallel port printer driver.
You’ll learn:All about Newbus, the infrastructure used by FreeBSD to manage the hardware devices on your systemHow to work with ISA, PCI, USB, and other busesThe best ways to control and communicate with the hardware devices from user spaceHow to use Direct Memory Access (DMA) for maximum system performanceThe inner workings of the virtual null modem terminal driver, the USB printer driver, the Intel PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver, and other important driversHow to use Common Access Method (CAM) to manage host bus adapters (HBAs)Concise descriptions and extensive annotations walk you through the many code examples.
