Introduction to cybersecurity science -- Conducting your own cybersecurity experiments -- Cybersecurity experimentation and test environments -- Software assurance -- Intrusion detection and incident response -- Situational awareness and data analytics -- Cryptography -- Digital forensics -- Malware analysis -- System security engineering -- Human-computer interaction and usable security -- Visualization -- Understanding bad science, scientific claims, and marketing hype.;Once author Josiah Dykstra gets you up to speed on the scientific method, he helps you focus on standalone, domain-specific topics, such as cryptography, malware analysis, and system security engineering. The latter chapters include practical case studies that demonstrate how to use available tools to conduct domain-specific scientific experiments."--;"If you’re involved in cybersecurity as a software developer, forensic investigator, or network administrator, this practical guide shows you how to apply the scientific method when assessing techniques for protecting your information systems. You’ll learn how to conduct scientific experiments on everyday tools and procedures, whether you’re evaluating corporate security systems, testing your own security product, or looking for bugs in a mobile game.
