Learn how to analyze x64 and ARM64 Linux process and kernel crashes and hangs, navigate through core memory dump space and diagnose corruption, memory leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, and more than 50 memory analysis patterns. The training consists of more than 70 step-by-step exercises using GDB and WinDbg debuggers.

We just accept that software is inherently imperfect, that all software must contain bugs, and we design our development processes around that. But what if it were possible to write correct software? What if we could consistently develop clean, maintainable software that works perfectly, all the time? And what if it were cheaper, faster and easier to write correct code than to write the buggy variety? What then? Flawless software, delivered faster.

Build bulletproof Spring Boot microservices—from monolith migration to domain-driven design and event-driven patterns—while mastering the production essentials of resilience, observability, and zero‑downtime delivery. Turn complex domains into clean, scalable services with bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories, and domain events, then ship faster with rate‑limited APIs, backoff‑retries, and Kubernetes rollouts. If leading Java teams to reliable, cloud‑ready microservices is the goal, this is the hands‑on guide that gets systems into production with confidence.

Manipulating text, managing networks, understanding ownership and permissions, writing programs in BASH shell, and using proxies, VPNs, and wireless networks are all covered. This book will teach you the fundamentals of hacking, including Linux commands and techniques to break into web applications and create your own hacking Linux toolkit.

System Design Workbook – Edição 2026 é uma obra que traduz, organiza e conecta os principais fundamentos da engenharia de sistemas distribuídos sob uma perspectiva prática, moderna e orientada à realidade de produção.

A pattern language for event sourced applications and reliable distributed systems. Examples are written in the Python programming language. Now includes event-oriented introductions to the pattern language scheme of Christopher Alexander, the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, and the person-centred psychology of Rogers and Rosenberg.

Prepare for senior Go interviews, or for the jump from mid-level to senior, with a focus on AI platform engineering: LLM gateways, RAG, vector search, Kubernetes, observability, concurrency ownership, and production failure modes. Includes interview questions, senior-level answer rubrics, executable Go examples, and a production-oriented RAG service capstone you can run, test, break, and explain.

After more than twenty years at IBM — including roles as Regional Technical Leader for Security Technologies and Tivoli Software across Central and Eastern Europe — I have seen many SOC modernization projects. Organizations consistently face the same dilemma: substantial existing investments in SIEM, SOAR, processes, and human expertise versus the urgent need to keep pace with AI-powered threats.Most vendors pushed rip-and-replace cloud solutions. I took a different path.The Brownfield Agentic SOC concept was born from the realization that modernization does not require replacement. It is possible — and often far more effective — to intelligently augment existing infrastructure with multi-level AI agents, dynamic business context, structured investigation, and strong governance, while preserving data sovereignty and human judgment.This book is intentionally practical and conceptual. Certain advanced techniques (self-healing patterns, zero-visible-downtime adaptation, tamper-evident intelligent audit) are subject to pending patent protection and are presented here at architectural level only.I wrote this book for three audiences:CISOs and SOC leaders in regulated industries seeking realistic modernizationSecurity architects responsible for next-generation operationsTeams that prioritize sovereignty, compliance, and human-AI collaborationMy goal is to provide a clear, actionable blueprint that respects real-world constraints while delivering measurable improvement.I hope this book inspires and equips you to build more resilient, intelligent, and sovereign Security Operations Centers.Zsolt L.

Go services often fail in production for boring reasons: weak probe semantics, missing timeout budgets, unsafe retries, noisy telemetry, and rollout settings that look fine until traffic spikes. Go Apps on Kubernetes is a practical pocketbook for engineers who ship and run Go microservices on K8s. It gives you concise, production-focused guidance you can apply immediately: health/readiness contracts, graceful shutdown and draining, retry/backoff patterns, observability defaults (metrics, logs, traces), security hardening baselines, and deployment/autoscaling templates. No theory dump, no platform-admin detours. Just reusable patterns and incident-oriented checklists to help your services start cleanly, degrade predictably, and recover fast.

Stress is unavoidable. Failure is part of the system. Resilient by Design shows how to recover faster, stay stable under pressure, and keep going when things hit hard, without burnout clichés or motivational noise.
