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.

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.

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 @npub1dqd…8xy4

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.

Today we're dropping a @npub1dqd…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!)

Red Teaming AI is coming to @npub1dqd…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!

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.

Gatekeeping in tech is like hoarding knowledge during a zombie apocalypse: unhelpful, isolating, and honestly just weird.
In a field that thrives on collaboration and shared solutions, keeping others in the dark doesn’t make you look smarter—it just slows everyone down. Teach. Document. Help. It’s how we all survive the chaos.

NSP authors you can meet at PyCon this Saturday:
Eric Matthes has introduced more than a million people to Python with the clear, project-based approach in Python Crash Course.
Al Sweigart's classic Automate the Boring Stuff with Python has saved hundreds of thousands of readers countless hours and is freely available online.
Jason McDonald propels impatient developers straight to writing production code in Dead Simple Python, a no-nonsense guide.

FYI, the best security researchers weren't made in corporate training rooms. They were forged by curiosity, open resources, and community-driven knowledge. If you're here for that energy then come on down!

Hello Mastodon! We've still got an account on X (for now), but are excited about joining the conversation over here. Seems like a good place to share our latest Author Spotlight Q&A, where you can learn what led to Eric Matthes (Python Crash Course) writing the world's bestselling programming book: https://nostarch.com/blog/livin-dream-python-crash-course-author-eric-matthes
