System programming is how developers learn what software really does. This guide makes the subject accessible, showing how Linux handles resources and runs programs step by step. It connects theory to real practice, with examples that reveal what happens beneath every process, file, and line of code. Now available at major retailers.
System Programming in Linux
Learn to write real Linux software—not just run it.

Decentralization isn’t just a trendy buzzword. When platforms enclose the web—locking culture, knowledge, and communities into corporate silos—they decide what survives, what gets erased, and who has access. A decentralized web is survival against erasure. #decentralization #mastodon #Foss #openweb
Every year we try to bring something new to the table—literally. This year it’s five DEF CON editions, 20 author sigings, Rudy in shirt form, and a huge lineup of titles you’ll actually want to read. Come flip through the weird, the sharp, and everything we couldn’t wait to share. Always an honor to build for this community--thanks for keeping it brilliantly strange. See you next week @npub1dqdh...8xy4 #DEFCON32 #infosec #redteam #cybersecurity #hackers #programming #books #bookstodon
Build a BASIC interpreter, an NES emulator, and a KNN model—all from scratch. This one’s for experienced Python programmers who want to understand how computing really works, one hands-on project at a time. Now on pre-order sale! Get 30% off with code CSPROJECTS, through 8/5.
Computer Science From Scratch
You know how to write Python. Now master the computer science that makes it work.

Final DEF CON edition drop! What’s really sold in dark web markets? Reversing the Dark Web explores the underground cybercrime economy through real ads and real malware samples. This book walks you through stealers, loaders, ransomware, crypters, and more—with hands-on reverse engineering using Ghidra and x64dbg. Look for the @npub1qar4...qxdl edition at our booth this year! Also available for pre-order:
Dissecting the Dark Web
A technical exploration of the malicious software bought and sold on the dark web, where bad actors offer malware-as-a-service (MaaS) to the highes...

Today we're dropping a @npub1dqdh...8xy4 teaser AND running a Pre-Order Sale for Designing Electronics That Work – the book that answers "which capacitor should I actually buy?""instead of explaining what a capacitor is for 50 pages. 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!)
Designing Electronics That Work
How real engineers build electronics—one working piece at a time.

Red Teaming AI is coming to @npub1dqdh...8xy4 , but not in any form you’ll find online. We’re bringing a special edition to the booth, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Phil will be there to sign copies while supplies last. If this is your kind of thing, you’ll know where to find us! #Defcon #RedTeam #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #ThreatIntel image
Building your own debugger is a powerful way to understand Linux internals. From forking and tracing to handling signals and interacting with registers, you'll gain practical insight into how debuggers actually work. It’s also a solid exercise in writing clean, testable C++ systems code.
Building a Debugger
Master the inner workings of your x64 Linux system and expand your OS expertise by writing your very own debugger using C++.
