Product description
About the Author
Dr. Wenliang (Kevin) Du is the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence at Syracuse University. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1993, and got his PhD degree from Purdue University in 2001. He became a tenure-track assistant professor at Syracuse University after the graduation. He is currently a full professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Professor Du has taught courses in cybersecurity at both undergraduate and graduate levels since 2001. He promotes experiential learning in cybersecurity education. To provide students with hands-on experiences, funded by multiple grants from National Science Foundation and over a period of 17 years, he has developed over 30 labs (called SEED labs). These labs are now being used by over 1000 universities, colleges, and high schools in 65 countries. In 2010, his SEED project was highlighted by the National Science Foundation in a report sent to the US Congress. The report highlights 17 projects that represent cutting-edge creativity in undergraduate STEM classes nationwide. Due to the impact of the SEED labs, he received the 2017 Academic Leadership award from the 21st Colloquium for Information System Security Education. In 2019, Syracuse University awarded him the Meredith Professorship for Teaching Excellence. Professor Du conducts research in the area of computer and network security, with a specific interest in system security. He has published over 100 technical papers. As of April 2019, his research work has been cited for over 14,100 times (based on Google Scholar). He is a recipient of the ACM CCS Test-of-Time Award in 2013 due to the impact of one of his papers published in 2003. His current research focuses on mobile system security, aiming at developing novel mechanisms at the operating system and hardware levels to enhance the security of smartphones and mobile devices. He also conducts research in security education, with a focus on developing platforms for experiential learning in cybersecurity.

Fantastic book on Computer security. The chapters are well written and the topics are explained very well. If you are interested in the computer security, you won't be disappointed. Professor Du is very experienced on the topic and know very well the topic. I am looking forward to the next edition with even more security flows described in detail. You will find also the recent meltdown and spectre attacks and other interesting topics. For sure a must for people interested in computer and internet security!!!

Absolutely worth every penny.

I've worked in IT for 20+ years in a variety of roles and in a risk and compliance capacity for the last 7 or 8. I've been required to take a more direct involvement with security and so have been up-skilling for the past year. I've read several books, numerous whitepapers and completed umpteen multimedia training courses. This book is the single most valuable resource I have discovered to date. It is very thorough and goes into technical detail in depth but is very well structured and easy to read. The author is clearly not just technically very knowledgeable but an excellent teacher as well.
The book is only half the story though. The author has also made available for free online a collection of labs (SeedSecurityLabs.org) using virtual machines he has developed to enable the user to get hands on familiarity with the numerous security concepts covered in his book. You could use the labs on their own and you could read the book on it's own but really the two are best used together. Whether you are a student, someone looking to move into a cybersec role or an existing cybersec professional looking to fill gaps in your knowledge this book is an excellent resource and worth every penny.

Don't wait, buy this book!
Reviewed in the United States on 17 December 2019Verified Purchase
This book is very unique! You will not find any book like that. It not just bloated with a huge amount of theory that is written very clearly, but it is also full of practical practice - all up to date!
Mostly, but not only those who know C/C++ will largely benefit from the book as it
contains very good C samples.
I only wish two things:
1. To see more books from this author.
2. To have the book available also as a digital format
