Debugging is the art of finding mistakes in code by tracing program execution line by line. This book will help programmers master the art of debugging with two popular Open Source debuggers: GDB and DDD. The book integrates general debugging principles with concrete examples and covers many topics other debugging books leave out, such as segmentation faults, threaded programming, and distributed/parallel programming.

OpenPGP is the most widely used email encryption standard in the world. It is based on PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) as originally developed by Phil Zimmermann. The OpenPGP protocol defines standard formats for encrypted messages, signatures, and certificates for exchanging public keys.
PGP &amp; GPG is an easy-to read, informal tutorial for implementing electronic privacy on the cheap using the standard tools of the email privacy field - commercial PGP and non-commercial GnuPG (GPG). The book shows how to integrate these OpenPGP implementations into the most common email clients and how to use PGP and GPG in daily email correspondence to both send and receive encrypted email.
The PGP &amp; GPG book is written for the moderately skilled computer user who is unfamiliar with public key cryptography but who is nevertheless interested in guarding their email privacy. Lucas's trademark informal and relaxed tone makes public key cryptography as simple and clear as possible, so that any reasonably savvy computer user can understand it.

From the earliest phone phreakers to today's most pernicious phishers, Steal This Computer Book Reloaded explores the world of hackers, crackers, virus writers, scammers, and other members of the Internet underground. Essential reading for anyone connected to the Internet, this offbeat, non-technical book examines what hackers do, how they do it, and how you can protect yourself. Written in the same informative, irreverent, and entertaining style that made the first four editions hugely successful, Steal This Computer Book Reloaded will expand minds and raise eyebrows. The entire book has been rewritten, and key sections have been revised to expose the latest dangers lurking online and off as well as the increased political ramifications of hacking by both corporations and national governments. New chapters discuss cyberwarfare, recently discovered security vulnerabilities and hacker tools, remote attacks, and digital spying programs.
