Böcker av Edward Teach

Did you know that Rob Zombie had directed an ad for detergent? What could Ozzy Osbourne have done the day he was invited to the White House? What is the exact size of Gene Simmons' tongue? You thought you were an expert on this world and knew everything about your favorite artists? Chances are you're not... From the most famous to the most shameful stories to facts that are not known to the general public, explore the world of rock and metal through some of the craziest anecdotes. Like a rock'n'roll primer, from AC/DC to ZZ Top, discover the mythical and often scandalous, but always fascinating stories of bands that have marked the last fifty years.

The "Big Black Book of Electronic Surveillance" opens the door to the world of intelligence arms merchants whose work shapes advanced government surveillance. These companies hail from Austria, Australia, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Dubai, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and many other nations. This volume presents the market leaders and the surveillance solutions and services they provide to governments: packet monitoring, analytics, offensive cyber, mobile location and forensics, lawful intercept, social media intelligence (SOCMINT), facial recognition, voice biometrics and other forms of open source intelligence (OSINT), plus relevant forms of artificial intelligence that automate performance. Also included: military-focused technologies that deliver or intercept intelligence at the tactical edge, such as forward-looking infrared (FLIR), RF monitoring, Electro-Optical/Infrared, eLoran, and systems with the power to take control of critical infrastructure. "The Big Black Book of Electronic Surveillance" is at once a textbook, a manual for government agencies charged with safeguarding national security, and an encyclopedia on this vital industry. Surveillance is a business. Among the largest players are IT and communications industry giants that quietly develop and profit from surveillance solutions. Laws that authorize and govern their work are quite similar from one country to the next. Democratic nations such as the USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy and The Netherlands are little more constrained in deploying surveillance solutions than are Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and other authoritarian regimes. For the most part, government agencies are not technology innovators, but rather, end-users of solutions developed and deployed by Intelligence Systems Support (ISS) vendors. The power that governments exercise via current modes of electronic surveillance will be dwarfed by what comes next: advances in artificial intelligence and quantum computing that take surveillance to the next level.
