Maximizing the performance of Unix systems is a challenge that requires a

specialized understanding of operating system behavior and an intimate

acquaintance with system tools that assist in tuning. This book helps sysadmins,

net admins, developers, and capacity planners maximize the performance of

HP-UX systems, resolve bottlenecks, and design applications for maximum

performance.

HP-UX 11i Tuning and Performance takes the guesswork out of maximizing

HP-UX performance. It provides a comprehensive, systematic performance

management methodology that addresses every stage in the lifecycle of an HPUX

system. Three of HP's leading performance experts present specific

metrics, symptoms, and solutions for each key element of an HP-UX system,

including hardware, the OS platform, and application development. This

edition is completely updated with the many new processor and system families

that use HP-UX since the first edition appeared in 1999.

This book introduces the best generic UNIX and HP-UX specific tools for

performance management and demonstrates practical ways to instrument HPUX

systems so that your measurements truly represent real-world performance.

This new edition also takes into account the latest processors, systems, storage

devices, I/O connections, new and changed software tools, new HP-UX

features, high availability environments, and Java on HP-UX.

HP-UX 11i Version 2, is the latest version of the HP-UX operating system.

Unlike the previous version, HP has answered it's customers demands and the

system now works on both PA-RISC and Itanium systems which covers HP's

entire market. In addition to updating the content for HP-UX V2, Marty has

revamped the book based on customer and reviwerer feedback to make it more

readable and useful for all system administrators working on HP-UX systems.

This title is a complete reference and guide for sys admins of all levels. It starts

with booting and installing and moves on to specific topics such as building a

kernal, networking, and even working with partitions---a brand new HP

technology which is a fundamental change to the system and important for all

admins to understand.

Following HP's merger with Compaq, HP has redesigned their certification

program with a scheduled re-launch of early 2004. As part of this, the existing

HP-UX exam is being updated for HP-UX 11i and will contain about 15-20%

new material. The name of this exam is now Certified System Administrator

(CSA): HP-UX. This book maps directly to this course, divided into the

following three sections.

UNIX Fundamentals - Covers the basics of UNIX. The information is not

specific to a particular UNIX version, but rather includes general concepts and

commands, file manipulation and security, shell and awk programming, vi

editor, and other topics.

HP-UX System Administration - Covers the first level of HP-UX-specific

system and network administration concepts and topics including management

and administration of user accounts, devices, disks, file systems, backups,

restores, system recovery, automated jobs, swap space, printers, etc. It also

covers the system boot process, kernel reconfiguration, software/patch

management, OE installation, etc.

HP-UX Network Administration - Covers advanced HP-UX system and

network administration concepts and topics like TCP/IP, IP routing, IP

subnetting, UNIX network troubleshooting tools, system startup services,

NFS, AutoFS, NIS, DNS, NTP, ARPA/Berkeley services, software depot

management, etc.

This book is a great study guide for those seeking certification as well as a

handy desk reference for after the exam.

The HP-UX Certified System Engineer (CSE) exam is the next step after

Certified Systems Architect (CSA). The audience for the exam has grown as a

result of several factors. HP is pushing for all external vendors to have CSE

level certification, as well as pushing for internal employees to be CSE certified.

HP is also streamlining the number of advanced courses and creating 2 new

courses to make it easier for engineers to get the knowledge they need to

become certified.

Mapping to the exam objectives for the HP-UX CSE exam, this book starts

with the premise that readers will be "fluent" in the basic concepts of managing

a HP-UX based system. This book allows experienced HP-UX administrators

to deal with new technologies such as fibre channel, SANs, disk arrays,

partioned servers and how they impact high-availability environments. As well

as describing such topics from a theoretical perspective, the author directly

correlates the theory with what individuals will find in their workplace, allowing

for rapid appreciation of the facts. HP-UX guru, Charles Keenan, brings a

hands-on approach to how to deal with topics such as high availability

clustering, node/virtual partitions, performance analysis and troubleshooting,

with actual demonstrations from real HP-UX based systems. He gives readers

the information they need to help study for the CSE exam, as well as

information they can use well after in their day to day management of advanced

HP-UX sys admin tasks.

Halting the Hacker provides a unique look inside the mind of the hacker--you'll understand how and why he makes the choices he does to attack your system. At the same time, you're getting practical, step-by-step information on how to foil him! Unlike many other security books, this book shows you why you need to take particular steps, rather than just listing what to do. This gives you knowledge you can apply to future, as-yet-unknown, attacks. Organized around how hackers gain access, control and privileges on your system, Halting the Hacker helps you understand how different subsystems can be used in harmony to attack your computer. Filled with dozens of up-to-the-minute real world examples, the book provides a vivid look at the consequences of ignoring security, and gives you numerous solutions you can put to immediate use. It contains specific steps for improving the security of your HP-UX and Linux systems.

This book is an authoritative and full-length description of the IA-64 version of the Linux kernal. IA-64 is a high-performance microprocessor architecture co-designed by HP and Intel. The titanium chip is the first implementation of this new architecture. Intel already has outlined a roadmap of several chips to follow, such as the more powerful McKinley and Deerfield implementations. To emphasize the longevity of this book, as well as the Linux kernal it describes, it focuses on the IA-64 architecture rather than specific implementations, such as Itanium or McKinley.

Appropriate for all graduate-level and advanced undergraduate courses in cryptography and related mathematical fields.

Modern Cryptography is an indispensable resource for every advanced student of cryptography who intends to implement strong security in real-world applications. Leading HP security expert Wenbo Mao explains why conventional crypto schemes, protocols, and systems are profoundly vulnerable, introducing both fundamental theory and real-world attacks. Next, he shows how to implement crypto systems that are truly “fit for application,” and formally demonstrate their fitness. He begins by reviewing the foundations of cryptography: probability, information theory, computational complexity, number theory, algebraic techniques, and more. He presents the “ideal” principles of authentication, comparing them with real-world implementation. Mao assesses the strength of IPSec, IKE, SSH, SSL, TLS, Kerberos, and other standards, and offers practical guidance on designing stronger crypto schemes and using formal methods to prove their security and efficiency. Finally, he presents an in-depth introduction to zero-knowledge protocols: their characteristics, development, arguments, and proofs. Mao relies on practical examples throughout, and provides all the mathematical background students will need.

This book provides readers with a quick method to understand the basics of

the Linux performance tools and allows the tools to be used immediately. It

covers the most recent (and powerful) of the Linux performance tools. For

each tool, this book provides information about the tool's purpose, the tool's

options, and an example of how to use the tool. It provides readers with a

general method for tracking down Linux performance problems while

requiring a minimal knowledge of the underlying system, allowing the reader to

be more productive and less intimidated by the performance problem at hand.

Finally, and most importantly, the reader is shown case studies that use

performance tools and

methodologies to diagnose and fix a performance problem on example open

source applications. These case studies will save readers a large amount of time,

allowing them to simply adapt a technique that already works rather than

inventing their own.
