About the Book
Go Beyond the Surface: Master Cybersecurity Internals
Are you tired of cybersecurity explanations that barely scratch the surface? In a world of sophisticated APTs, complex cloud environments, and elusive fileless malware, a fundamental, deep technical understanding isn't just an advantage—it's a necessity. Cybersecurity Deconstructed plunges into the critical internals, moving beyond abstractions to reveal the underlying mechanics of modern attacks and defenses.
This book is your guide to deconstructing the core components of cybersecurity. You'll dissect advanced TCP/IP manipulation and evasion tactics, explore EDR internals and bypass techniques, master sophisticated post-exploitation methods (including LSASS dumping nuances, Kerberoasting, and lateral movement), navigate AWS/Azure security pitfalls, understand practical cryptographic failures, and learn the essentials of memory forensics and reverse engineering.
Written for practitioners and advanced learners—including penetration testers, red teamers, incident responders, security engineers, and architects—this book assumes you have the fundamentals down and are ready for a deep dive. You won't just learn what tools do; you'll understand how they work, why attacks succeed, and how defenses can be circumvented or hardened at a fundamental level. Equip yourself with the resilient, adaptable knowledge needed to tackle the most complex cybersecurity challenges.
