Every network protocol is being subjected to scrutiny for security concerns – many of the protocols which drive the way in which we communicate, even the ones designed comparatively recently, were designed with efficiency and elegance in mind rather than security. Assumptions made during the construction of these protocols, mostly stemming from a design not motivated by security are either, depending upon your viewpoint, naïve and insecure, or optimistic and trusting. In many instances, the drive to build systems and protocols which paralleled systems in real life have led to insecurities which although generally accepted in conventional infrastructure and systems, are virtually unacceptable due to the ease of exploitation. |

To the uninitiated, the title may seem like an oxymoron: after all, aren't hacks what network security is supposed to prevent? But if you're network administrator, this book's title not only makes sense; it makes a lot of sense. You know that a busy administrator needs a hatful of devilishly effective security hacks to keep your 12-hour days from becoming all-nighters. Network Security Hacks is not a long-winded treatise on security theory. Instead, this information packed little book provides 100 quick, practical, and clever things to do to help make your Linux, UNIX, or Windows networks more secure today. This compendium of security hacks doesn't just cover securing TCP/IP-based services, but also provides intelligent host-based security techniques. Loaded with concise but powerful examples of applied encryption, intrusion detection, logging, trending, and incident response, Network Security Hacks will demonstrate effective methods for defending your servers and networks from a variety of devious and subtle attacks. Network Security Hacks show how to detect the presence (and track every keystroke) of network intruders, methods for protecting your network and data using strong encryption, and even techniques for laying traps for would-be system crackers. Important security tools are presented, as well as clever methods for using them to reveal real, timely, useful information about what is happening on your network. O'Reilly's Hacks Series reclaims the term hacking for the good guys--innovators who use their ingenuity to solve interesting problems, explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, and create useful tools. Network Security Hacks lives up to reputation the Hacks series has earned by providing the roll-up-your sleeves and get-it-done hacks that most network security tomes don't offer. Every hack can be read in just a few minutes but will save hours of searching for the right answer. |

Networking for Dummies upholds the series' proletarian tradition by entertainingly explaining local area networks (LAN) to the rest of us. Written with three different--but equally clueless in technical matters;quot;--audiences in mind, Lowe's book appeals to novice network users, novice network builder/administrators, and the managers who must finance the activities of the other two groups. A large part of this book is devoted to user issues such as Accessing a network drive from WordPerfect and What is a print job? Other chapters explain the differences among the various network architectures and network operating systems. In addition, the book pays a lot of attention to troubleshooting, particularly for common problems. |
