Review

By the author’s providing a ‘hacker’ perspective, readers will more fully understand the ramifications of having an insecure computer, server, network, program, database and or policy. The book [includes] ??a good table of contents that is extensive, very organized and thorough [T]here are important discussions of the non-technical kind [of insecurity] like policy, which is too often overlooked in many organizations. What is most impressive about the book is its outlines of specific exploits and attacks with prescribed defenses. ??Coupled with good illustrations and detailed explanations[,] this is a great resource for both academic and public libraries.

Book Description

This guide reveals the technical aspects of hacking that are least understood by network administrators. It analyzes subjects through a hacking/security dichotomy that details hacking maneuvers and defenses in the same context. Chapters are organized around specific technical components and administrative tasks, providing theoretical background that prepares network defenders for the always-changing and creative tools and techniques of intruders. This book is divided into three parts. Part I introduces programming, protocol, and attack concepts. Part II addresses subject areas (protocols, services, technologies, etc.) that may be vulnerable. Part III details consolidation activities that hackers may use following penetration.
