Exploring Malicious Hacker Communities
Malicious hackers utilize the World Wide Web to share knowledge. Analyzing the online communication of these threat actors can help reduce the risk of attacks. This book shifts attention from the defender environment to the attacker environment, offering a new security paradigm of 'proactive cyber threat intelligence' that allows defenders of computer networks to gain a better understanding of their adversaries by analyzing assets, capabilities, and interest of malicious hackers. The authors propose models, techniques, and frameworks based on threat intelligence mined from the heart of the underground cyber world: the malicious hacker communities. They provide insights into the hackers themselves and the groups they form dynamically in the act of exchanging ideas and techniques, buying or selling malware, and exploits. The book covers both methodology - a hybridization of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and social network analysis methods - and the resulting conclusions, detailing how a deep understanding of malicious hacker communities can be the key to designing better attack prediction systems.

Though bad at math and often monkey-minded, Shane Neeley became outstanding at coding and building intelligent, creative machines. The universe also underestimated the walking apes; the monkeys weren't supposed to make it to space or conjure AI with clicks on a keyboard. A paleolithic birth of creativity, driven by the same old evolutionary selection pressures, fashioned humankind into artists, poets, comedians, believers and scientists. Another epic transformation is happening today as people begin to build intelligent machines. This book is a must-read for anyone learning AI: coders, coders-to-be, or coders-adjacent!Become an AI forefather to future generations, regardless of your background. In this entertaining approach, you will gain understanding of deep learning with neural nets, natural language generation, and AI art. Not a technical deep dive-the book relies more on sweeping generalizations and humor for instruction. Containing no equations or code, it still teaches machine learning literacy, and in an amusing way. You can train AI now to boost your imagination-to produce literature, art, comedy, and to tackle challenges at work.Shane Neeley holds degrees in molecular, cellular and developmental biology and bioengineering. He traded in his lab coat for a laptop and has spent the last decade writing code for biomedical software companies. He is particularly interested in AI for language generation and other means of computational creativity. The book itself, the cover art, the acclaim, and numerous prose snippets were made with the help of some charismatic robots that he trained.Fake acclaim for Stone Age Code, written by AI: "Shane Neeley, data scientist, biologist, and bestselling author of High Frequency and Data Density, answers each and every AI question you've ever asked." - Acclaim-Writing-Robot"Book of the year (so far)." - Acclaim-Writing-Robot"Read it, laugh at it, and move on." - Acclaim-Writing-Robot

The Natural Language for Artificial Intelligence
The Natural Language for Artificial Intelligence presents the biological and logical structure typical of human language in its dynamic mediating process between reality and the human mind. The book explains linguistic functioning in the dynamic process of human cognition when forming meaning. After that, an approach to artificial intelligence (AI) is outlined, which works with a more restricted concept of natural language that leads to flaws and ambiguities. Subsequently, the characteristics of natural language and patterns of how it behaves in different branches of science are revealed to indicate ways to improve the development of AI in specific fields of science. A brief description of the universal structure of language is also presented as an algorithmic model to be followed in the development of AI. Since AI aims to imitate the process of the human mind, the book shows how the cross-fertilization between natural language and AI should be done using the logical-axiomatic structure of natural language adjusted to the logical-mathematical processes of the machine.

A Hacker I Am Vol 2
This book is the second book in the "A Hacker, I Am" series, it is not your normal cybersecurity book, it's not meant to be read from front to back chapter by chapter, you open it up and pick which chapter piques your interest the most and read that one first. Then choose your next one and read that and continue the process until you have finally read all of them. By all means though if you want to stick to the old fashioned method of reading a book, knock yourself out and read it from the front to the back, hey you bought the book you should be able to read it however you want too. This book is a collation of previous work, rewritten and adapted for this book. I have then written a lot of new content just for the book. The book as you would have probably guessed it by now is all about Cyber Security but it's not written to be overly technical, it's written so that it can be understood by anyone who wants to learn more about how to better protect themselves. This book will be great at helping introduce individuals to the cybersecurity and help them get a better understanding of what to look out for, what problems we are all going to face in the future but also have a bit of fun while we are at it. Or if you are already in the industry then it will be still an entertaining read that can help give you a different perspective on a few things. Buy the book you will like it but once you have read it leave a review so that everyone else that is considering the book or its predecessor, know they will love it as well.

But professors, instructors, educators, and school systems have mostly failed to promote cybersecurity, leaving themselves-and their students-at risk. Joseph O. Esin highlights the serious nature of the problem in this book. He answers questions such as: - What does a well-structured plan to prevent cyber-threats look like? - How can we promote equity of cybersecurity in education system? - Where do cyber threats rank compared with other dangers? - How can high schools, colleges, and universities promote cybersecurity endeavors? The best way to prevent cyberattacks is to create a professional education alliance that promotes meaningful change. High school, colleges, universities, professors, educators, and support personnel must come to the table to make prevention a priority. Get a clear understanding of the problem and respond with meaningful measures with the insights and information in The Equity of Cybersecurity in the Education System.

Outlier Detection Using A New Hybrid Approach On Mixed Dataset
Data mining is a process of extracting hidden and useful information from the data. Outlier detection is a fundamental part of data mining and has huge attention from the research community recently. An outlier is data object that deviates from other observations. Detecting outliers has important applications in data cleaning as well as in the mining of abnormal points for fraud detection, stock market analysis, intrusion detection, marketing, network sensors. Most of the existing research efforts focus on numerical datasets which are not directly applicable on categorical dataset where there is little sense in ordering the data and calculating distances among data points. Furthermore, a number of the current outlier detection methods require quadratic time with respect to the dataset size and usually need multiple scans of the data; these features are undesirable when the datasets are large. This thesis focuses and evaluates, experimentally, an outlier detection approach that is geared towards categorical sets. In addition, this is a simple, scalable and efficient outlier detection algorithm that has the advantage of discovering outliers in categorical or numerical datasets by per

Sicherheitsrisiken in der E-Mobilit瓣t. IT-Sicherheit und Standards der Ladeinfrastruktur
Forschungsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Informatik - IT-Security, Note: 1,3, Otto-Friedrich-Universit瓣t Bamberg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit gibt einen ?berblick 羹ber die aktuelle IT-Sicherheit und Standards der Ladeinfrastruktur. Dazu sollen Einblicke 羹ber m繹gliche Angriffsvektoren gegeben und diese aufgrund ihres Risikos bewertet werden. Abschlie?end gilt es, auch Ma?nahmen f羹r die gr繹?ten Angriffspotentiale zu definieren. Die ersten Automobilhersteller haben bereits die Herausforderungen der Umwelt und Politik angenommen und Fahrzeuge mit den neuen elektrischen Antriebskonzepte entwickelt und herausgebracht. Aktuell gibt es bereits 32 verschiedene Modelle in Deutschland und auch global gesehen zeigt eine Statistik von McKinsey, dass die weltweite Produktion von elektrischen Fahrzeugen sich in den n瓣chsten f羹nf Jahren mehr als vervierfachen soll. Die Bedeutung von E-Mobilit瓣t im Markt ist stark zu erkennen, doch die Realit瓣t der Nachfrage sieht anders aus. Anfang 2019 waren es gerade einmal 53.861 registrierte E-Fahrzeuge in Deutschland. Allerdings ist ein Umdenken in der Gesellschaft und eine ?nderung zu mehr E-Mobilit瓣t aufgrund der st瓣ndigen politischen Klima-Debatten sp羹rbar. Dies ist auch anhand von Zahlen belegbar. So wurden allein im Jahr 2019 29.314 weitere E-Fahrzeuge in Deutschland angemeldet und im ersten Quartal 2020 53.442. Allerdings sind diese Zahlen noch weit von den geplanten Zulassungen entfernt.
