The Art of Mac Malware, Volume 2
This first-of-its-kind guide to detecting stealthy Mac malware gives you the tools and techniques to counter even the most sophisticated threats targeting the Apple ecosystem. As renowned Mac security expert Patrick Wardle notes in The Art of Mac Malware, Volume 2, the substantial and growing number of Mac users, both personal and enterprise, has created a compelling incentive for malware authors to ever more frequently target macOS systems. The only effective way to counter these constantly evolving and increasingly sophisticated threats is through learning and applying robust heuristic-based detection techniques. To that end, Wardle draws upon decades of experience to guide you through the programmatic implementation of such detection techniques. By exploring how to leverage macOS's security-centric frameworks (both public and private), diving into key elements of behavioral-based detection, and highlighting relevant examples of real-life malware, Wardle teaches and underscores the efficacy of these powerful approaches. Across 14 in-depth chapters, you'll learn how to: Capture critical snapshots of system state to reveal the subtle signs of infectionEnumerate and analyze running processes to uncover evidence of malwareParse the macOS's distribution and binary file formats to detect malicious anomaliesUtilize code signing as an effective tool to identify malware and reduce false positivesWrite efficient code that harnesses the full potential of Apple's public and private APIsLeverage Apple's Endpoint Security and Network Extension frameworks to build real-time monitoring toolsThis comprehensive guide provides you with the knowledge to develop tools and techniques, and to neutralize threats before it's too late.
Shared Wisdom
How to build a flourishing society by using what we know about human nature to design our technology--rather than let technology shape our society. In Shared Wisdom, Alex Pentland delves into the history of innovation, emphasizing the importance of understanding how technologies and cultural inventions impact human society. Humanity's great leaps forward--the rise of civilizations, the Enlightenment, and the Scientific Revolution--were all propelled by cultural inventions that accelerated our rate of innovation and built collective wisdom. Solving current global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and failing social institutions will require similarly fundamental inventions. Shared Wisdom provides a unique perspective on human society and offers insights into how we can use technologies like digital media and AI to aid, rather than replace, our human capacity for deliberation. Drawing on his expertise in both social science and technology, the author bridges the gap between these two disciplines and offers a holistic view of the challenges and opportunities we face in the age of AI. By looking deep into our history, Pentland argues that the better we understand the key factors that accelerate cultural evolution, the greater our chances of surmounting our current problems.
