Mohite Copy Editor Priyanka Ravi www.allitebooks.com About the Author Dimitrios Kouzis-Loukas has over fifteen years experience as a topnotch software developer. He uses his acquired knowledge and expertise to teach a wide range of audiences how to write great software, as well. He studied and mastered several disciplines, including mathematics, physics, and microelectronics. His thorough understanding of these subjects helped him raise his standards beyond the scope of "pragmatic solutions." He knows that true solutions should be as certain as the laws of physics, as robust as ECC memories, and as universal as mathematics. Dimitrios now develops distributed, low-latency, highly-availability systems using the latest datacenter technologies. He is language agnostic, yet has a slight preference for Python, C++, and Java. A firm believer in open source software and hardware, he hopes that his contributions will benefit individual communities as well as all of humanity. www.allitebooks.com About the Reviewer Lazar Telebak is a freelance web developer specializing in web scraping, crawling, and indexing web pages using Python libraries/frameworks. He has worked mostly on projects that deal with automation and website scraping, crawling, and exporting data to various formats, including CSV, JSON, XML, and TXT, and databases such as MongoDB, SQLAlchemy, and Postgres. He also has experience in frontend technologies and the languages: HTML, CSS, JS, and jQuery. www.allitebooks.com www.PacktPub.com Support files, eBooks, discount offers, and more For support files and downloads related to your book, please visit www.PacktPub.com.

  • Visualizing and Forecasting the Cryptocurrency Ecosystem
    Visualizing and Forecasting the Cryptocurrency Ecosystem Shawn Anderson, Ka Hang Jacky Lok, Vijayavimohitha Sridhar 1 Motivation and Background Cryptocurrencies are programmable digital assets which can be traded on an open market. The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, created in 2009, has a market capital of more then 140 billion dollars. In the past 10 years, the price of Bitcoin has grown 80,000 times. No one could have imagined this upsurge in cryptocurrency value. Some news has defined cryptocurrency as a fraud or bubble while others think that it can revolutionize the way humans interact with money. Popular opinion of Bitcoin is rich with mysticism. Everyone in the world is amazed by the surging high price of Bitcoin. People such as students, hackers, investors, banks, and government are all staring it and trying to make something out of it. Related Work In Evolutionary dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, EIBahrawy Et al. explore the birth and death rate of new cryptocurren- cies, comparing them to that of animals in biological ecosystems. They find significant similarity in the mathematical modeling of biological ecosystems and cryptocurrency ecosystems.[1] In Deep Reinforcement Learning for Financial Portfolio Manage- ment, Jiang et. al. achieve highly rewarding results in implementing a reinforcement learning agent to manage a cryptocurrency portfolio in historical backtests. They pioneer the EIIE network topology to feed feed coin evaluations to a reinforcement learning agent which manages a portfolio. They are able to increase their principle investment 47X relative to the price of bitcoin in 50 days in one of their backtests [2]. In Predicting Cryptocurrency Prices With Deep Learning, Sheehan uses LSTM to model price movement of Bitcoin and Ethereum[3].

    RESEARCH ARTICLE A Web Scraping Methodology for Bypassing Twitter API Restrictions A. Hernandez-Suarez 1 ,G. Sanchez-Perez1, K. Toscano-Medina1, V. Martinez-Hernandez1, V. Sanchez2 and H. Perez-Meana 1 1 Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Graduate School ESIME Culhuacan; [email protected] 2 University of Warwick, Department of Computer Science, CV4 7AL, UK ; [email protected] ABSTRACT Retrieving information from social networks is the first and primordial step many data analysis fields such as Natural Language Processing, Sentiment Analysis and Machine Learning. Important data science tasks relay on historical data gathering for further predictive results. Most of the recent works use Twitter API, a public platform for collecting public streams of information, which allows querying chronological tweets for no more than three weeks old. In this paper, we present a new methodology for collecting historical tweets within any date range using web scraping techniques bypassing for Twitter API restrictions. KEYWORDS web scraping; web crawling; twitter bots; web spiders Correspondence Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Graduate School ESIME Culhuacan, San Francisco Culhuacan, CTM V, 04430 CDMX, Mexico; [email protected]. 1. INTRODUCTION Gathering proper information for training and testing data science algorithms is a primordial task that must be accomplished in order to obtain useful results. Many fields related to Natural Language Processing, Sentiment Analysis and Machine Learning use Online Social Network platforms to retrieve user information and transform it into machine-readable inputs, which are used by various algorithms to obtain predictive outputs like flu spreading detection [1], forecasting future marketing outcomes [2] and predicting political elections [3].

  • Introduction to Information Security Wireshark and Scapy
    Introduction to Information Security Wireshark and Scapy 1 Exercise 6 • Submission deadline extended to 3.5 to fix the following issues: • Check the exit code only to determine whether convert failed • Put the explanation as to why fuzzing the first and last 750 is enough at the top of the .txt file • Use the correct format • 0x<byte>.<bit>\n • Bits are numbered from 0 to 7 • Bytes are numbered from 1 • Don't copy the entire file over for every bit flip, that's ridiculously inefficient 2 The Great Ascent • We shift our focus from low-level vulnerabilities (buffer overflows) to high-level ones (DNS poisoning) • Network vulnerabilities are just as sophisticated and interesting! • They are not simpler, but they are easier to debug • Tools: • Wireshark (and maybe tcpdump) • Scapy 3 A Few Words about Python 4 Python • Probably the best language in the world • For scripts, we know... • But also: • For web development (django, flask) • For scientific research (numpy, scipy, sympy, matplotlib, ipython notebook) • For big data analysis (pandas) • For machine learning (scikit.learn) • For big and complex systems (twisted, sqlalchemy) • Other stuff (re, pycrypto, PIL, nltk, scrapy) 5 A Few Words About Python • How can it be? • It's modern and cool • It's extremely dynamic • Everything is an object (even classes!) • You can overload and hook just about anything • Focuses on developer time • Simplicity Nowadays, that's what takes 90% of the time! • Interactivity • As a side-note for skeptics, with stuff like PyPy it's also incredibly fast 6 Example
