This book contains a wealth of information about information security and
social engineering. To help you find your way, heres a quick look at how
this book is organized:
In Part 1 Ill reveal securitys weakest link and show you why you and
your company are at risk from social engineering attacks.
In Part 2 youll see how social engineers toy with your trust, your desire to
be helpful, your sympathy, and your human gullibility to get what they
want. Fictional stories of typical attacks will demonstrate that social
engineers can wear many hats and many faces. If you think youve never
encountered one, youre probably wrong. Will you recognize a scenario
youve experienced in these stories and wonder if you had a brush with
social engineering? You very well might. But once youve read Chapters 2
through 9, youll know how to get the upper hand when the next social
engineer comes calling.
Part 3 is the part of the book where you see how the social engineer ups
the ante, in made-up stories that show how he can step onto your
corporate premises, steal the kind of secret that can make or break your
company, and thwart your hi-tech security measures. The scenarios in this
section will make you aware of threats that range from simple employee
revenge to cyber terrorism. If you value the information that keeps your
business running and the privacy of your data, youll want to read
Chapters 10 through 14 from beginning to end.
Its important to note that unless otherwise stated, the anecdotes in this
book are purely fictional.
In Part 4 I talk the corporate talk about how to prevent successful social
engineering attacks on your organization. Chapter 15 provides a blueprint
for a successful security-training program. And Chapter 16 might just
save your neck - its a complete security policy you can customize for
your organization and implement right away to keep your company and
information safe.
Finally, Ive provided a Security at a Glance section, which includes
checklists, tables, and charts that summarize key information you can use
to help your employees foil a social engineering attack on the job. These
tools also provide valuable information you can use in devising your own
security-training program.
Throughout the book youll also find several useful elements: Lingo boxes
provide definitions of social engineering and computer hacker
terminology; Mitnick Messages offer brief words of wisdom to help
strengthen your security strategy; and notes and sidebars give interesting
background or additional information.

Rapidshare Essential C# 3.0 For .Net Framework 3.5

About this eBook
THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY of software engineering, the methodology
used to write computer programs has undergone several paradigm
shifts, each building on the foundation of the former by increasing
code organization and decreasing complexity. This book takes you
through these same paradigm shifts.
The beginning chapters take you through sequential programming
structure in which statements are written in the order in which they are
executed. The problem with this model is that complexity increases exponentially
as the requirements increase. To reduce this complexity, code
blocks are moved into methods, creating a structured programming
model. This allows you to call the same code block from multiple locations
within a program, without duplicating code. Even with this construct,
however, programs quickly become unwieldy and require further abstraction.
Object-oriented programming, discussed in Chapter 5, was the
response. In subsequent chapters, you will learn about additional methodologies,
such as interface-based programming, LINQ (and the transformation
it makes to collection APIs), and, eventually, rudimentary forms of
declarative programming (in Chapter 17) via attributes.
This book has three main functions.
It provides comprehensive coverage of the C# language, going
beyond a tutorial and offering a foundation upon which you can
begin effective software development projects.
For readers already familiar with C#, this book provides insight into
some of the more complex programming paradigms and provides indepth
coverage of the features introduced in the latest version of the
language, C# 3.0 with .NET 3.5.
It serves as a timeless reference, even after you gain proficiency with
the language.
The key to successfully learning C# is to start coding as soon as possible.
Dont wait until you are an expert in theory; start writing software immediately.
As a believer in iterative development, I hope this book enables even a
novice programmer to begin writing basic C# code by the end of Chapter 2.
A number of topics are not covered in this book. You wont find coverage
of topics such as ASP.NET, ADO.NET, smart client development, distributed
programming, and so on. Although these topics are relevant to
the .NET framework, to do them justice requires books of their own. Fortunately,
Addison-Wesleys .NET Development Series provides a wealth of
writing on these topics. Reading this book will prepare you to focus on and
develop expertise in any of these areas. It focuses on C# and the types
within the Base Class Library.

Rapidshare DJ Skills: The Essential Guide to Mixing and Scratching

Posted: February 24th, 2009, 12:32pm CET by e-blake

Tags: [edit]

Quote:

DJ Skills: The Essential Guide to Mixing & Scratching is the most comprehensive,
up to date approach to DJing ever produced. With insights from top club, mobile,
and scratch DJs, the book includes many teaching strategies developed in the
Berklee College of Music prototype DJ lab.

The big breakthrough arrived in 1877 when Thomas Edison, while experimenting with
a new telegraph device, accidentally ran indented tin foil under a stylus.
This led him to develop the fi rst instrument that could both record and reproduce
sound. Edisons machine used wax cylinders and was far from high fi delity.
His invention was initially used as an offi ce machine for businessmen, enabling them
to record and play back messages and dictation.
Shortly after patenting his phonograph in 1878, Edison temporarily abandoned this
project to concentrate on developing the incandescent light bulb. But by inventing the
phonograph, he set off the initial spark, which would inspire further experimentation
and eventually lead to the wheels of steel and beyond.
And this is where Alexander Graham Bell enters the picture. After inventing the
telephone (a device that would carry sound waves from one location to another) in 1876,
it was a small step for Bell to develop what he called the graphophone.
With the money he was earning from his telephone invention, Bell es tablished an
electro-acoustic research facility in Washington, DC called the
Volta Laboratory Association, where he and others worked on improving Edisons
phonograph. Their development used wax cylinders and a batterydriven motor,
versus Edisons manually operated original version.

Rapidshare Electronic Circuit Design: From Concept To Implementation

Posted: February 24th, 2009, 12:15pm CET by e-blake

Tags: [edit]

Quote:

From concept to implementation, Electronic Circuit Design provides clear and
concise guidance on the overall design process of electronic systems with an
emphasis on analog and mixed signal blocks. The texts numerous design examples
include modern components, device data sheets, and associated application, while
a detailed discussion reveals how to effectively use these tools in the design
process. The author encourages the use of simplified design calculations over
rigorous mathematical treatments. This book offers in-depth insight into the
essential steps and approximation procedures adopted in designing electronic
systems, following data sheet information for basic electronic components.

Electronics is probably one of the few subjects where the knowledge halflife
of a professional is very short. Today it is probably only 3 to 4 years.
Designing electronic systems today requires a unique combination of (1) fundamentals;
(2) research and development directions in the latest semiconductors
and passive components; (3) nitty-gritty aspects within the mixed
signal world; (4) access to component manufacturers data sheets, design
guidelines, and development environments; and, most importantly, (5) a
timely and practical approach to overall aspects of a design project.
Classens rulethe usefulness of a product is proportional to log
(technology)reminds us that engineers have to add a lot of technology
and engineering teamwork to get more user-friendliness into electronics.
With portability and miniaturization becoming buzzwords in electronics,
design engineers have to concentrate on many additional aspects in the core
of a design. Some of these are power supply design, packaging, thermal
design, and reliability. In the new millennium, with very large-scale integrated
(VLSI) circuits and system-on-a-chip (SOC) technologies maturing,
designers have many options when designing electronic systems.
My own career of more than 32 years in different environments such as
aviation, telecommunications, and power electronics, with a long midcareer
in research and development, has given me the opportunity to look at the
world of electronics in a broader perspective. A budding electronics engineer
with a degree-level qualification takes a few years to appreciate the
breadth of the subject while learning the depth in limited specialized areas.
The breadth and depth of the subject together are necessary to produce a
commercially viable product or system, giving consideration to time to market
(TTM).
This work attempts to address several areas of analog and mixed signal
design, including power supply design, signal conditioning, essentials of
data conversion, and signal processing, while summarizing a large amount
of information from theory texts, application notes, design bulletins, research
papers, and technology magazine articles. In a few chapters I had the assistance
of experts in different subject areas, as chapter authors.
Because of page limitations, I had to summarize a large amount of useful
subject matter extracted from more than 500 technical publications. I suggest
that readers refer to the cited references for more details. I would also appreciate
your assistance in notifying me of any errors found in the book.

Rapidshare Embryology, Epigenesis, and Evolution

Posted: February 24th, 2009, 10:31am CET by e-blake

Tags: [edit]

Quote:

Historically, philosophers of biology have tended to sidestep
the problem of development by focusing primarily on evolutionary
biology and, more recently, on molecular biology and genetics.
Quite often, development has been misunderstood as simply, or even
primarily, a matter of gene activation and regulation. Nowadays a
growing number of philosophers of science are focusing their analyses
on the complexities of development; in Embryology, Epigenesis,
and Evolution, Jason Scott Robert explores the nature of development against
current trends in biological theory and practice and looks at the interrelations
between evolution and development (evodevo), an area of resurgent biological
interest.
Clearly written, this book should be of interest to students and professionals
in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of biology.

Embryology, Epigenesis, and Evolution suggests a target audience
of philosophers of science and of biology, but I hope the book

Rapidshare Advanced Error Control Techniques for Data Storage Systems

Posted: February 24th, 2009, 2:18am CET by e-blake

Tags: [edit]

Quote:

With the massive amount of data produced and stored each year, reliable storage
and retrieval of information are more crucial than ever. Drawn from the pages of
the highly popular Coding and Signal Processing for Magnetic Recording Systems,
this finely focused reference details state-of-the-art error control and
correction methods used in storage devices. The book begins with the properties
and practical aspects of error control codes, followed by channel models and
coding methods for multi-track systems. The last section discusses recent
developments in error control and correction systems as applied to data storage
channels, including Turbo Codes, low-density parity-check codes, and Turbo
Product Codes.

When digital data are transmitted over a noisy channel, it is important to have a
mechanism allowing recovery against a limited number of errors. Normally, a user
string of 0s and 1s, called bits, is encoded by adding a number of redundant bits
to it. When the receiver attempts to reconstruct the original message
sent, it starts by examining a possibly corrupted version of the encoded message,
and then makes a decision. This process is called the decoding. We live in an age
that is defined by the massive production and use of digital information. Everyday
we send and receive e-mails, exchange pictures of our loved ones, download music
and video, and transact business on-line. The digital revolution has become such a
fundamental pillar of our existence it is very difficult to imagine a life
without it. According to one recent study, data was being created at a rate of 1.4
Gigabytes/person/year in the United States in 2004. Every year 75 Petabytes or
100 Million hours of new broadcast content is created. We exchange 400 Petabytes
of e-mail and purchase 488 Petabytes or about 814MCds worth (only in the United
States) audio files yearly. Although these numbers are amazing, they are growing
even in a more phenomenal pace. Clearly,we need a reliable way to store, protect
and exchange all these data.
This book focuses on explaining the state of the art error control and correction
methods used in data storage devices such as hard disk drives. The advanced error
control and correction methods ensure the reliable transmission and storage of
digital data. This in turn enables us to create, use and manipulate data as we wish.
The reliability levels that are required by storage devices are extremely high since
unlike communication systems generally no retransmission is possible.We expect to
save our data and be able to retrieve it perfectly at any future time. It is the
art of error control and correction that makes this possible.

Rapidshare Flex 3 : A Beginners Guide

Posted: February 24th, 2009, 1:56am CET by e-blake

Tags: [edit]

Quote:

This book walks the reader through all of the steps that a beginning user must tackle, including
which software to install, how to install it, and how to start writing code. Its assumed that the
reader has some knowledge of how the web works and has worked with plain old HTML. The
differences between using Flex, HTML, and Ajax are dissected in easy-to-understand terms.
All the major starting points of developing RIAs in Flex are covered, including a
detailed description of the ActionScript programming language that forms the basis for
Flex applications. The Flex framework, which speeds application development time, is
discussed after youve learned about the Flex architecture and supporting languages. Each
step of the way is written to make sometimes complex concepts easy to understand.
Because Flex excels at working with media assets such as video and sound combined
with dynamic data to create a rich Web 2.0 experience, the book introduces the necessary
concepts to create these applications. Those concepts include working with sounds and
video as well as working with dynamic data sources such as an RSS feed. With a solid
starting point, the options for creating Flex applications are endless.
Finally, practical advice is provided to help debug and publish applications once youre
cranking out applications that youre ready to share with your friends and colleagues.

The source code for examples in the book is downloadable on the web from www.
mhprofessional.com. Any example of more than a few lines should be downloaded from
the source code to reduce the time required to type in the code and to avoid any errors from
typing in the code.
The source code and related media assets are split out by chapter number. For code
segments that have a heading with a listing number, the code is placed in a file called
Listing<chapter number>_<listing number>. ActionScript files are named the same as
the examples class name, since Flex requires the filename to match the class definition.
MXML code listings that are not large enough to warrant their being referred as a listing
in the text are named Example<chapter number>_<description>, where description
provides guidance on which example is being reference in the text. Any media assets are
also named the same as their references in the text.
In general, MXML examples can be run in the same project as other examples from
the text. The ActionScript files that demonstrate importing sounds and SWF media assets
should be created as ActionScript projects for each example. Flex Builder automatically
places some default code when creating a new MXML or ActionScript file, but its okay
to overwrite this default code with the source from the files provided with the book.

Rapidshare Fundamentals of Biomechanics

Posted: February 24th, 2009, 1:34am CET by e-blake

Tags: [edit]

Quote:

Fundamentals of Biomechanics introduces the exciting
world of how human movement is created and how it can
be improved. Teachers, coaches and physical therapists
all use biomechanics to help people improve movement
and decrease the risk of injury. The free ebook presents a
comprehensive review of the major concepts of
biomechanics and summarizes them in nine principles
of biomechanics. Fundamentals of Biomechanics concludes
by showing how these principles can be used by movement
professionals to improve human movement. Specific case
studies are presented in physical education, coaching,
strength and conditioning, and sports medicine.

This free ebook is written for students taking
the introductory biomechanics course in
Kinesiology/HPERD. The book is designed
for majors preparing for all kinds of human
movement professions and therefore uses a
wide variety of movement examples to illustrate
the application of biomechanics.
While this approach to the application of
biomechanics is critical, it is also important
that students be introduced to the scientific
support or lack of support for these qualitative
judgments. Throughout the text extensive
citations are provided to support the
principles developed and give students references
for further study. Algebraic level
mathematics is used to teach mechanical
concepts. The focus of the mathematical examples
is to understand the mechanical
variables and to highlight the relationship
between various biomechanical variables,
rather than to solve quantitative biomechanical
word problems. It is obvious from
research in physics instruction that solving
quantitative word problems does not increase
the conceptual understanding of important
mechanical laws.

Rapidshare Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers

Posted: February 24th, 2009, 12:52am CET by e-blake

Tags: [edit]

Quote:

This free ebook differs from others in the field in that it has been prepared very
much with students and their needs in mind, having been classroom tested over
many years. It is a true learners book made for students who require a
deeper understanding of probability and statistics. It presents the fundamentals
of the subject along with concepts of probabilistic modelling, and the process
of model selection, verification and analysis. Furthermore, the inclusion of
more than 100 examples and 200 exercises (carefully selected from a wide range
of topics), along with a solutions manual for instructors, means that this text
is of real value to students and lecturers across a range of engineering
disciplines.

This free ebook was written for an introductory one-semester or two-quarter course
in probability and statistics for students in engineering and applied sciences. No
previous knowledge of probability or statistics is presumed but a good understanding
of calculus is a prerequisite for the material.
The development of this book was guided by a number of considerations
observed over many years of teaching courses in this subject area, including the
following:

*As an introductory course, a sound and rigorous treatment of the basic
principles is imperative for a proper understanding of the subject matter
and for confidence in applying these principles to practical problem solving.
A student, depending upon his or her major field of study, will no doubt
pursue advanced work in this area in one or more of the many possible
directions. How well is he or she prepared to do this strongly depends on
his or her mastery of the fundamentals.

*It is important that the student develop an early appreciation for applications.
Demonstrations of the utility of this material in nonsuperficial applications
not only sustain student interest but also provide the student with
stimulation to delve more deeply into the fundamentals.

*Most of the students in engineering and applied sciences can only devote one
semester or two quarters to a course of this nature in their programs.
Recognizing that the coverage is time limited, it is important that the material
be self-contained, representing a reasonably complete and applicable body of
knowledge.

The choice of the contents for this free ebook is in line with the foregoing
observations. The major objective is to give a careful presentation of the
fundamentals in probability and statistics, the concept of probabilistic modeling,
and the process of model selection, verification, and analysis. In this text,
definitions and theorems are carefully stated and topics rigorously treated
but care is taken not to become entangled in excessive mathematical details.

Practical examples are emphasized; they are purposely selected from many
different fields and not slanted toward any particular applied area. The same
objective is observed in making up the exercises at the back of each chapter.
