Large language models can write code, solve problems and reason about the world, but how do they actually work? The Ghost in the Weights takes you inside the black box, exploring the tools and techniques researchers use to uncover the algorithms hidden in neural networks. Learn to trace circuits, decode features and turn opaque computations into something you can understand, test and investigate yourself.

Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming scientific research, from hypothesis generation to autonomous experimentation. This book explores the models, algorithms and computational tools driving a new era of discovery, offering researchers and engineers the knowledge to understand, build and apply AI-powered scientific systems.

Threat Hunting starts with a question, not an alert.You do not need to already be a Threat Hunter to start thinking like one.CYBER HUNTER Project is a practical guide designed both for people taking their first steps into Threat Hunting and for cybersecurity professionals who want to sharpen the way they hunt, investigate and build detections.The book starts with the foundations: what Threat Hunting really is, how a hunter thinks, how to build a hypothesis, what evidence to look for, and how Threat Hunting differs from Threat Detection. From there, it moves progressively into real hunting investigations, showing how those ideas work against actual security telemetry.If you are starting from zero, CYBER HUNTER Project gives you a structured path into the field without assuming that you already know how to hunt.If you already work in a SOC, Incident Response, Detection Engineering, Threat Intelligence or Cybersecurity, it gives you new hunting ideas, investigation techniques and practical examples that you can adapt to your own environment.And if you are already a Threat Hunter, the goal is to help you go further: challenge assumptions, build stronger hypotheses, correlate evidence differently, discover new hunting opportunities and turn successful investigations into reusable detections.Across Email, Endpoints, Networks, Threat Intelligence, Identity, Software and Cloud Applications, CYBER HUNTER Project takes you through practical scenarios involving phishing, ransomware behaviour, suspicious authentication, network activity, threat intelligence feeds, cloud collaboration, device code authentication and many other hunting opportunities.Inside of the book, you will find:• Threat Hunting fundamentals explained from the ground up • A practical approach to building Hunt Hypotheses • Real, self-contained Threat Hunting investigations • Evidence-driven investigation strategies • Detection Opportunities derived from successful hunts • Detection Libraries with additional hunting ideas • Companion KQL queries for Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel • MITRE ATT&CK mappings and reference material • Practical Threat Intelligence and IOC/IOA analysis • Ideas you can adapt to build your own huntsThe companion queries use KQL and Microsoft security telemetry, but the hunting methodology is intentionally vendor-neutral. The objective is not to memorize queries. It is to understand why a hunt works, what evidence makes it valuable, and how to reproduce that thinking on your own platform.Start with the fundamentals. Learn through real hunts. Build your own hypotheses. Improve the way you investigate.Whether this is your first Threat Hunting book or you already hunt threats every day, this project is designed to become a practical reference you can keep beside you and return to whenever you need your next hunting idea.The logic is the point, not the dialect.

As AI models become increasingly accessible, the real challenge lies in making them work reliably in production. Advanced Harness Design explores the engineering behind robust AI systems, from architecture and orchestration to security and operations. Discover the patterns, tools and practical techniques needed to build dependable AI systems that perform in the real world.

Great software architecture is not about choosing fashionable technologies. It is about making sound engineering decisions.Explore 28 chapters of practical architectural thinking, covering system design, quality attributes, trade-offs, ADRs, implementation, verification, resilience, security, and sustainable software evolution.Build better systems. Make better decisions. Think like an engineer.

Modern computer systems are complex, and getting the best performance out of them takes more than writing efficient code. This book takes you inside the hardware, from processor pipelines and cache hierarchies to parallel computing and acceleration. Learn how to measure, understand and eliminate performance bottlenecks with practical techniques grounded in real-world engineering.
