Computer Hacking: Eine Einführung zur Verbesserung der Computersicherheit in komplexen IT-Infrastrukturen
by Udo KebschullTechnische Maßnahmen, die es Cyberangreifern schwer machen, dienen zur Abschreckung, weil Hacker immer nur so hoch springen, wie sie müssen. Bei komplexen und vor allem sicherheitsrelevanten IT-Infrastrukturen reichen diese technischen Maßnahmen allein jedoch oft nicht aus.Dieses Lehrbuch betrachtet alle Aspekte der IT-Sicherheit und effektive Maßnahmen, um Angriffe zu detektieren und sich erfolgreich dagegen zu wehren. Es behandelt allgemeine Angriffsmechanismen und Angriffsszenarien, die von Angreifern angewendet werden. Dabei soll klar werden, dass es nicht ausreichend ist, Firewall-Regeln sauber zu konfigurieren oder die aktuellsten Patches einzuspielen. Vielmehr muss ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz gewählt werden, der Nutzende einschließt (Awareness) und funktionierende Prozesse für den Fall eines konkreten Angriffs etabliert. Das Buch zeigt, wo die Schwachstellen liegen, wie man sie schließt, wie man Angriffe erkennt und wie man sie erfolgreich abwehrt.

Computer Meets Theoretical Physics: The New Frontier of Molecular Simulation (The Frontiers Collection)
by Pietro Greco Giovanni Battimelli Giovanni CiccottiThis book provides a vivid account of the early history of molecular simulation, a new frontier for our understanding of matter that was opened when the demands of theoretical physicists were met by the availability of the modern computers. Since their inception, electronic computers have enormously increased their performance, thus making possible the unprecedented technological revolution that characterizes our present times. This obvious technological advancement has brought with it a silent scientific revolution in the practice of theoretical physics. In particular, in the physics of matter it has opened up a direct route from the microscopic physical laws to observable phenomena. One can now study the time evolution of systems composed of millions of molecules, and simulate the behaviour of macroscopic materials and actually predict their properties. Molecular simulation has provided a new theoretical and conceptual tool that physicists could only dream of when the foundations of statistical mechanics were laid. Molecular simulation has undergone impressive development, both in the size of the scientific community involved and in the range and scope of its applications. It has become the ubiquitous workhorse for investigating the nature of complex condensed matter systems in physics, chemistry, materials and the life sciences. Yet these developments remain largely unknown outside the inner circles of practitioners, and they have so far never been described for a wider public. The main objective of this book is therefore to offer a reasonably comprehensive reconstruction of the early history of molecular simulation addressed to an audience of both scientists and interested non-scientists, describing the scientific and personal trajectories of the main protagonists and discussing the deep conceptual innovations that their work produced.
