Remember that mystery design we teased? Meet Rootkit Rudy.

This little troublemaker will be on shirts at our DEF CON booth. He's got that perfect "I just found a zero-day in your coffee machine" energy.

Hey everyone - we're trying something new and want your input.

We're launching a series of short videos with our authors across social platforms. Our authors are practitioners who've solved real problems in cybersecurity, development, electronics, systems engineering, and more. They wrote books because they have something worth sharing.

LinkedIn folks are here to learn and grow professionally – we love that. So instead of guessing what you want to hear about, we're just going to ask.

What would you like to know? What can we ask our authors for you? What challenges are you facing? What questions would actually help you in your day-to-day work or career growth? Would you rather see short, punchy micro-content, or longer, more detailed videos where we really dig into stuff?

Tell us in the comments, and we'll get answers for you. Our authors have been where you're trying to go, and in many cases, they're on still on their perpetual, respective journeys. Because of that, they're pretty good at explaining things without BS.

Ever wonder what's happening under the hood when you run your code?

Computer Science from Scratch is for those of us who've been writing Python for years but still feel like we're missing some fundamental pieces. David Kopec walks you through fun coding projects like building a BASIC interpreter, an NES emulator, and readable ML algorithms—because building them teaches you how computing actually works.

This isn't theory for theory's sake—it's a book of hands-on lessons that reveal how the tools you use every day actually work.

There's a gap in offensive security education – plenty of books cover the theory, but few dive into the practical "how" of actually executing red team operations in the real world.

Our exclusive DEF CON special edition of Red Team Engineering fills that gap. Based on a popular online course, it covers the techniques and practices that are often kept under wraps in the industry.

This special edition will be available first at DEF CON – for security professionals ready to move from theory to practice with knowledge that's usually shared only behind closed doors.

Understanding modern threats means understanding the underground economy that fuels them. Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) has industrialized cybercrime, but few security professionals truly understand how these operations work.

Our exclusive DEF CON special edition of Reversing the Dark Web changes that. Each chapter examines a category of malicious tools regularly sold on dark web marketplaces – not through speculation, but by analyzing actual criminal advertisements and reverse engineering real malware samples. Through hands-on case studies, you'll understand not just what threat actors use, but how they operate their businesses.

Because the best defense starts with truly understanding the threat landscape.

The security industry is evolving beyond the traditional red team vs blue team dynamic. The smartest organizations are discovering that collaboration beats competition when it comes to building real resilience.

Our DEF CON special edition of Practical Purple Teaming bridges that gap – showing security professionals how offensive and defensive teams can work together to create more effective, realistic assessments. The best defense isn't just knowing how to block attacks – it's understanding them from the inside out.

See you in Vegas. 🎲

Perfect timing – we're revealing the DEF CON special edition for Designing Electronics That Work WHILE running a preorder sale!

This is the practical guide that fills the gap between electronics theory and actually shipping hardware that works.

If you've ever had a board fail on power-up or spent hours debugging a layout that "should work," this one's for you. It's not about what a capacitor is – it's about which one you should actually buy, and what to do when it's out of stock.

Use code PROTIPS for 30% off through 7/28, or stop by our booth at the convention for a special edition (and maybe the author's signature? who knows!)
