Book description
Beginning with a basic primer on reverse engineering-including computer internals, operating systems, and assembly language-and then discussing the various applications of reverse engineering, this book provides readers with practical, in-depth techniques for software reverse engineering. The book is broken into two parts, the first deals with security-related reverse engineering and the second explores the more practical aspects of reverse engineering. In addition, the author explains how to reverse engineer a third-party software library to improve interfacing and how to reverse engineer a competitor's software to build a better product. * The first popular book to show how software reverse engineering can help defend against security thr...

Book description
This 475+ page textbook provides an exposure to the diverse family of the 8051 microcontrollers now manufactured. A comprehensive hands-on approach is taken to present how the microcontrollers are programmed and interfaced to external circuitry to perform useful automation and control functions. Programming nuggets are given for each instruction and each operating mode of the family. Experienced programmers or persons familiar with microcontrollers in general, but not well acquainted with the 8051 family of microcontrollers may use the book as a cookbook of ideas, example code, and applications circuitry. The book comes with, Reads51 software, an integrated development environment, which runs on an IBM PC or compatible host. Reads51 contain... Rest of this review on the detail page

Book description
Internetworking Eight-Bit Microcontrollers provides a comprehensive introduction to interfacing 8-bit microcontrollers to the Internet. It is aimed at the dedicated engineer or student who would like a "nuts-and-bolts" view of Internet technologies. This textbook is about amplifying the effectiveness of small microcontrollers by allowing them to communicate small sets of data over the Internet. While it is rather uncommon for a single textbook to discuss circuitry-level issues as well as software and networking protocols, we have attempted to do this to provide a holistic view of the topic. The software takes a minimalist approach. This approach is particularly applicable to eight-bit microcontrollers with limited resources. Only original m... Rest of this review on the detail page

Book description
What is the status of the Free and Open Source Software (F/OSS) revolution? Has the creation of software that can be freely used, modified, and redistributed transformed industry and society, as some predicted, or is this transformation still a work in progress? Perspectives on Free and Open Source Software brings together leading analysts and researchers to address this question, examining specific aspects of F/OSS in a way that is both scientifically rigorous and highly relevant to real-life managerial and technical concerns. The book analyzes a number of key topics: the motivation behind F/OSS -- why highly skilled software developers devote large amounts of time to the creation of "free" products and services; the objective, empirically...
