A pattern language to cover from a small debugging trace to a distributed log with billions of messages from hundreds of computers, thousands of components, threads, and processes.

This book will help you analyze traces and logs from different software environments and communicate analysis results using a pattern language that covers everything from a small debugging log to a distributed trace with billions of messages from hundreds of computers, thousands of software components, threads, and processes.The book begins with the basic terminology of operating systems and programming, the foundation for understanding trace and log analysis. It then talks about patterns that help describe problems from a user¿s view and patterns for errors and failures. Then, the book covers a range of trace patterns that group messages, and explores how logs depict software activities. It even examines specific message patterns and how they connect in a single trace. Moving forward, yoüll review patterns for multiple traces and logs and how to evaluate them. In this way, you can use similar methods to find problems across a wide variety of software. The book also provides guidance for analyzing issues on systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and other types of computers, including those in networks and the Internet of Things, regardless of their system differences.Upon completing this book, you will be able to navigate the complexities of trace and log analysis and apply uniform diagnostics and anomaly detection pattern language across diverse software environments to help you troubleshoot, debug, and fix issues.What You Will LearnUnderstand pattern language for trace and log analysisGain a pattern-oriented methodology for trace and log analysis applicable to various domains, including cybersecurityMaster the fundamentals of operating systems and programming related to trace and log analysisUnderstand observed behavior in traces and logs, which aids incident response, diagnostics, root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and debuggingWho This Book Is ForSoftware technical support engineers, system and network administrators, software developers, testers, DevOps and DevSecOps, digital forensics and malware analysts, security incident response engineers, data analysts, and data mining practitioners.

This book is for those who wish to understand how Python debugging is and can be used to develop robust and reliable AI, machine learning, and cloud computing software. It will teach you a novel pattern-oriented approach to diagnose and debug abnormal software structure and behavior.The book begins with an introduction to the pattern-oriented software diagnostics and debugging process that, before performing Python debugging, diagnoses problems in various software artifacts such as memory dumps, traces, and logs. Next, yoüll learn to use various debugging patterns through Python case studies that model abnormal software behavior. Yoüll also be exposed to Python debugging techniques specific to cloud native and machine learning environments and explore how recent advances in AI/ML can help in Python debugging. Over the course of the book, case studies will show you how to resolve issues around environmental problems, crashes, hangs, resource spikes, leaks, and performancedegradation. This includes tracing, logging, and analyzing memory dumps using native WinDbg and GDB debuggers. Upon completing this book, you will have the knowledge and tools needed to employ Python debugging in the development of AI, machine learning, and cloud computing applications.What You Will LearnEmploy a pattern-oriented approach to Python debugging that starts with diagnostics of common software problemsUse tips and tricks to get the most out of popular IDEs, notebooks, and command-line Python debuggingUnderstand Python internals for interfacing with operating systems and external modulesPerform Python memory dump analysis, tracing, and loggingWho This Book Is ForSoftware developers, AI/ML engineers, researchers, data engineers, as well as MLOps and DevOps professionals.

CoPart 3 is a dual complement to Visual Category Theory Brick by Brick Part 3. It covers adjoint functors, diagram shapes and categories, cones and cocones, limits and colimits, pullbacks, pushouts.

Review topics ranging from Intel x64 assembly language instructions and writing programs in assembly language, to pointers, live debugging, and static binary analysis of compiled C and C++ code. This book is ideal for Linux desktop and cloud developers. Using the latest version of Debian, yoüll focus on the foundations of the diagnostics of core memory dumps, live and postmortem debugging of Linux applications, services, and systems, memory forensics, malware, and vulnerability analysis. This requires an understanding of x64 Intel assembly language and how C and C++ compilers generate code, including memory layout and pointers. This book provides the back­ground knowledge and practical foundations yoüll need in order to master internal Linux program structure and behavior. It consists of practical step-by-step exercises of increasing complexity with explanations and ample diagrams. Yoüll also work with the GDB debugger and use it for disassembly and reversing. By the end of the book, you will have a solid understanding of how Linux C and C++ compilers generate binary code. In addition, you will be able to analyze such code confidently, understand stack memory usage, and reconstruct original C/C++ code. Foundations of Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing is the perfect companion to Foundations of ARM64 Linux Debugging, Disassembling, and Reversing for readers interested in the cloud or cybersecurity.What You'll LearnReview the basics of x64 assembly languageExamine the essential GDB debugger commands for debugging and binary analysis Study C and C++ compiler code generation with and without compiler optimizations Look at binary code disassembly and reversing patternsSee how pointers in C and C++ are implemented and usedWho This Book Is ForSoftware support and escalation engineers, cloud security engineers, site reliability engineers, DevSecOps, platform engineers, software testers, Linux C/C++ software engineers and security researchers without Intel x64 assembly language background, beginners learning Linux software reverse engineering techniques, and engineers coming from non-Linux environments.
