Cybersecurity Essentials with Scapy and OpenSSL: Hands-On Techniques to Defend Systems, Secure Data, and Combat Cyber Attacks

By Cesar J. Burnett

Cybersecurity is not just for experts. It's a fight for everyone.

In a world where threats evolve faster than defenses, traditional cybersecurity guides fall short. They teach you to use tools, but they don't show you how to truly understand them.
