Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

book looks at network security in a new and refreshing way. It guides readers

step-by-step through the & 34;stack& 34; -- the seven layers of a network. Each chapter

focuses on one layer of the stack along with the attacks, vulnerabilities, and

exploits that can be found at that layer. The book even includes a chapter on

the mythical eighth layer: The people layer.

This book is designed to offer readers a deeper understanding of many common

vulnerabilities and the ways in which attacker's exploit, manipulate, misuse,

and abuse protocols and applications. The authors guide the readers through this

process by using tools such as Ethereal (sniffer) and Snort (IDS). The sniffer

is used to help readers understand how the protocols should work and what the

various attacks are doing to break them. IDS is used to demonstrate the format

of specific signatures and provide the reader with the skills needed to

recognize and detect attacks when they occur.

What makes this book unique is that it presents the material in a layer by layer

approach which offers the readers a way to learn about exploits in a manner

similar to which they most likely originally learned networking. This

methodology makes this book a useful tool to not only security professionals but

also for networking professionals, application programmers, and others. All of

the primary protocols such as IP, ICMP, TCP are discussed but each from a

security perspective. The authors convey the mindset of the attacker by

examining how seemingly small flaws are often the catalyst of potential threats.

The book considers the general kinds of things that may be monitored that would

have alerted users of an attack.

*Remember being a child and wanting to take something apart, like a phone, to

see how it worked? This book is for you then as it details how specific hacker

tools and techniques accomplish the things they do.

* This book will not only give you knowledge of security tools but will provide

you the ability to design more robust security solutions

* Anyone can tell you what a tool does but this book shows you how the tool

works
