Running incidents is a technical problem under time pressure. Running the team that handles them is an organizational design problem, and most CSIRTs fail at exactly that gap. This handbook gives security leaders the charters, catalogs, playbooks, RACIs, and war room templates to build a CSIRT that survives its first real crisis, and the next one.
Prompt injection is the SQL injection of the AI era — and most LLM apps are wide open. This hands-on field manual shows application security engineers how to attack and defend LLM systems: direct, indirect, multimodal, and agentic injection, with working code, labs, and ASR benchmarks you can run in CI. Break it, then build the defense-in-depth that holds in production.
A practitioner's guide to running a modern SOC, from alert triage and detection engineering to SOAR automation and metrics that actually mean something. Includes real Sigma and KQL rules, a triage checklist, an escalation matrix, and a full worked phishing case from alert to closure.
Cyber threats evolve constantly, and effective defense starts with actionable intelligence. This book guides you from the fundamentals of cyber threat intelligence to advanced operational practices, providing practical frameworks, real-world examples, and proven techniques to help you turn threat data into stronger security decisions.
Cyber deception gives defenders a powerful way to detect threats and gather valuable intelligence. Honeypots: The Art and Science of Cyber Deception is a practical guide to designing, deploying, and operating security honeypots, covering everything from core concepts to modern frameworks and real-world operations.
Discover how Windows really works beneath the desktop. From boot to shutdown, this book provides a practical, in-depth exploration of the Windows NT kernel, covering architecture, memory management, security, virtualization, debugging, and more for developers, security professionals, and advanced students.
Master the art of binary analysis with Practical Binary Analysis with Capstone & Keystone. Learn how to disassemble, assemble, analyze, and rewrite machine code while building real-world tools for reverse engineering, security research, and automation.
Real attacks don't live in slide decks. They live in the stack, the heap, the kernel. This code-first guide takes practitioners who already know C straight into how modern exploits and malware actually work, pairing every offensive technique with the defense built to stop it. Rigorous, hands-on, and strictly for isolated, legal, ethical lab use.
