Operating Systems

OS: THE PILLAR OF SYSTEM ENGINEERING/ARCHITECTURE

An Operating System is the most complex piece of software a human can interact with. 

It is the gatekeeper between raw silicon and the high-level code we write. 

For a Cybersecurity expert or a reverse engineer, the OS is the base foundation.

You cannot hunt for vulnerabilities or understand malware behavior if you don't understand how the kernel manages resources, schedules threads, and protects memory.

You have to know and then knowing isn't the whole deal, you apply what you know. 

You know how threads work? But can you code multithreaded gui in C ,  Java or even C++? 

We shall cover process management, memory management, storage and file systems and then close it off with I/O systems. This is the whole bridge and the need for this section. 

This repository isn't just a summary of Silberschatz; it's a field manual. We are documenting the functioning of the most complex software on the planet. 

Let's meet in chapter 1.
