In this book, the author explores the challenges and strategies of designing user experiences for large-scale, data-heavy, and intelligent systems. From enterprise software with complex workflows to AI-driven products that learn and adapt, the book provides frameworks for making intricate systems usable, intuitive, and human-centred.

Spanning roughly 250 pages with step-by-step screenshots-based instructions, this book will guide you on managing a daloRADIUS deployed server to run FreeRADIUS AAA system. with daloRADIUS you can easily and quickly manage your FreeRADIUS deployment, thanks to flexible user interface and navigation flow.

Remote Mob Programming combines two ways of working: Mob Programming and working as a distributed team. Jochen Christ, Simon Harrer and Martin Huber share their experience with their working model - and why they don’t want to work differently anymore.

Behind every secure network lies an unbreakable mathematical truth. 'The Guardian Algorithms' bridges the gap between pure mathematics and cutting-edge cyber defense. Step into the mind of a digital architect.

Every web application has security headers, cookies, TLS configurations, and CORS policies that need to be correct. Most teams find out they're wrong only after a penetration test — or worse, after an incident. This book shows you how to build a scanner that catches these issues automatically. You'll create a Python CLI tool that uses Hurl (declarative HTTP testing) to assert security properties, SSLyze to validate TLS protocol versions, and AI to generate specific remediation for every failure it finds. The output: structured JSON reports, visual HTML dashboards, and AI-generated security posture assessments. **What you'll build:** - 9 declarative Hurl security test files (headers, cookies, CORS, HSTS, CSP, CSRF, redirects, TLS) - A preprocessor that handles domain substitution and authentication - An output parser with built-in remediation guidance for every test - A TLS scanner validating SSL 2.0/3.0 disabled and TLS 1.2/1.3 enabled - An AI analyzer that generates context-specific fixes using Ollama, OpenAI, or Bedrock - An HTML reporter with dark-themed visual dashboards - Docker multi-architecture deployment - CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions **Who this is for:** - Developers who want security checks before deploying - DevSecOps engineers building CI/CD security gates - Penetration testers who need quick baseline assessments - Security students learning web vulnerability concepts hands-on - Platform teams enforcing security standards across services Every failure includes: what was expected, what was received, why it matters, how to fix it, and a documentation link. AI adds domain-specific code examples on top.

Threat modeling is broken. It takes days, costs thousands, and most teams skip it entirely. What if your AI coding assistant could do it for you — systematically, consistently, and in minutes? This book shows you how to build an MCP server that makes it happen. You'll create 80+ structured tools that guide any AI assistant through a rigorous 9-phase STRIDE threat modeling workflow. Not vague prompts that produce unstructured text — real, typed, validated tools that build up a complete threat model piece by piece: business context, architecture, threat actors, trust boundaries, data flows, STRIDE-based threats, mitigations, and a final JSON export compatible with AWS Threat Composer. **What you'll build:** - A full MCP server with FastMCP (stdio + SSE transport) - Pydantic v2 data models for type-safe threat modeling - Case-insensitive enum validation (because AI isn't always consistent) - 11 tool modules covering every phase of STRIDE analysis - Customizable organization security guidelines loaded from `.md` files - Docker deployment for team-wide access - Compliance gap analysis that validates against mandatory controls - A complete workflow orchestrator with progress tracking **What makes this different:** The server doesn't call any LLM itself. It provides the structure and tools — your AI assistant (Claude, Kiro, Cursor, Copilot) provides the intelligence. This means it works with any model, any provider, forever. No API keys, no token costs for the server itself. **Who this is for:** - Security engineers who want to automate repetitive threat modeling - Python developers building MCP servers for any domain - DevSecOps teams embedding security into AI-assisted workflows - Architects who need consistent, auditable threat models - Anyone curious about how MCP tools work under the hood **By the end of this book**, you'll have a production-ready MCP server, a deep understanding of how AI tools are structured, and transferable patterns for building MCP servers in any domain — not just security.

The Senior iOS Engineer’s Playbook for 2026 and Beyond. Most interview books stop at mid-level. This one begins where they end. The iOS Senior Interview Guide is the definitive resource for iOS engineers targeting senior, staff, and principal roles at top-tier companies. Where the real game is played - not just in code, but in judgment, architecture, leadership, and strategic thinking. This isn’t another generic LeetCode + SwiftUI guide. It’s a high-signal performance blueprint built for the elevated bar of 2026. What You’ll Master: The 1% Mindset: How to move from “candidate answering questions” to “consultative peer” - the single biggest differentiator at senior and staff levels2026 Technical Edge: Swift 6 strict concurrency, Observation framework, on-device ML with Foundation Models, visionOS foundations, Kotlin Multiplatform strategy, and AI-integrated development workflowsArchitectural Authority: Deep system design frameworks, MVVM vs TCA vs Clean Architecture trade-offs, modern networking, security, and privacy-first architectureThe Full Gauntlet: Battle-tested strategies for every stage - beating AI resume filters, technical deep-dives, culture interviews, and high-stakes CTO/executive conversationsAgency & Contract Mastery: How to win proxy interviews and hit the ground running as a contractorNegotiation & Closing: Strategic follow-up and compensation frameworks that turn offers into career-defining leapsEvery chapter includes tailored insights for aspiring seniors, current seniors, and staff/principal engineers. Written by a battle-tested iOS engineer who has operated at Cisco, Mastercard, and multiple high-growth scale-ups, and has mentored dozens of engineers into senior and staff roles.This is the advanced companion to The iOS Interview Blueprint - significantly deeper on architecture, leadership presence, and executive-level conversations. 2026 Edition - fully updated with the latest expectations in concurrency, spatial computing, AI tooling, and cross-platform strategy. If you're a mid-level engineer eyeing your first senior role, a senior pushing for staff/principal, or simply tired of shallow interview advice - this book was written for you. Ready to stop hoping you’ll stand out and start knowing you will?

Device Mapper is the invisible engine behind LVM, LUKS, dm-verity, and thin provisioning — yet most engineers never look under the hood. This illustrated guide gives you the complete picture: from BIO remapping and mapping tables to real-world stacking patterns like LVM-on-LUKS and Android Verified Boot. 8 chapters, all visual, zero fluff.

The EV charging industry sits at the collision point of transport, energy, and technology, and it's growing faster than most people inside it can keep up with. This book takes you from "I know EVs exist" to "I understand how this industry actually works." Covering everything from charging fundamentals and protocols to smart charging, cybersecurity, and vehicle-to-grid, it's the book the author wished existed when he first entered the industry in 2017.

Documentation format explains 10 to 127 times more variance in AI-generated code than model choice. We ran 21,462 tests to prove it. This book shows you which formats work, which ones break, and why the industry standard is the worst option for AI consumption.

Real lessons from real bug bounty work — focusing on what actually leads to vulnerabilities, not just theory.

A senior level Android book about what actually breaks in production: Compose, performance, architecture, build systems, CI, and scale. Less “hello world”, more “keep it alive”.

The seven case stories in this book show how these companies dealt with situations that the usual approach didn't cover. Whether it was rethinking how to predict engagement, estimating demand in uncertain conditions, or containing operational breakdowns before they spiraled, the people behind these stories had to adapt quickly, think clearly, and act with purpose.
