Artificial Intelligence is transforming the world—but it is also creating an entirely new attack surface.What happens when attackers manipulate AI through language itself?Discover how cybercriminals exploit prompt injections, jailbreak models, steal sensitive information, and bypass AI guardrails. Through real-world examples, hands-on labs, secure coding techniques, and enterprise-ready architectures, Mastering LLM Security equips you with the knowledge needed to defend the next generation of intelligent systems.Whether you are building AI products, securing enterprise deployments, or leading cybersecurity programs, this book provides the blueprint for defending modern AI infrastructures.

Kubernetes exposes plenty of state, but operators still have to reconstruct operational meaning from scattered Pods, Services, EndpointSlices, Events, PVCs, owner references, and status fields. This ebook uses `kctx`, a small read-only Kubernetes context engine, to show how deterministic entities, relations, signals, graphs, namespace snapshots, CRD adapters, and stable JSON contracts can turn raw cluster data into reusable context for humans, tools, and AI agents. It is written for SREs, platform engineers, Kubernetes operators, infrastructure developers, and AI tooling builders who want better primitives than raw YAML and improvised troubleshooting pipelines.

A hands-on guide to downloading, running, serving, and maintaining open-weight LLMs on your own machine (489 manuscript pages).
