Practical Reverse Engineering
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781118787311.doLEARN THE SCIENCE AND CRAFT OF REVERSE ENGINEERING TO FIGHT HACKERS AND ROOTKITS
Criminals increasingly are using malicious software (exploits, viruses, rootkits, etc.) for fraud, denial-of-service, intrusions, and espionage operations. Reverse engineering is the only method to thoroughly dissect and understand such software. So it is no surprise that reverse engineering is one of the most important subjects in information security. Unfortunately, it is often perceived as a mysterious and complex black art. Although reverse engineering is a difficult subject, the authors believe there is a scientific approach to it. Practical Reverse Engineering aims to demystify the art and systematize the reverse-engineering process for students and professionals.

Deal of the Day: Web Development with Node and Express
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032977.do?code=DEAL
*With Early Release ebooks, you get access to books while they are being written so you can take advantage of these technologies right now. You'll receive updates when content is added, as well as the completed ebooks. You get free lifetime access, multiple file formats, and free updates.
The Express web application framework for Node strikes the ideal balance between a robust framework and no framework at all. Many web frameworks try to do so much that they become inflexible and overly complicated, having a negative effect on both learning curve and ability to customize. Express takes a much more agnostic approach, allowing developers a free hand in their architecture choices. It is a joy to work with, and this book is designed not only to introduce the framework, but also to provide some guidance about how to go about doing things that more elaborate (and inflexible) frameworks provide.
Even though there is plenty of material on the topic of Express alone, Web Development with Node and Express will provide you additional value because it also covers best practices in web architecture. Ideal for those new to JavaScript, this book also shows experienced JavaScript developers have started to look towards Express as a viable alternative for web development. As someone who deals every day with the complexities of real-world websites, author Todd Brown offers tremendous wisdom and experience for people interested in producing high-quality, fast, maintainable websites that are friendly to SEO and analytics.*
