"Network Security Assessment" (1/3 people found this helpful)
The defacement of websites are increasing day by day. It doesn't
matter whether they are windows or *nix. Numerous exploits and
malicious codes are released every day. Researchers published new
vulnerabilities everyday online. So, the need arises to secure your perimeter from hackers and crackers. There are numerous freeware and commercial products available for this purpose. The book "Network Security Assessment" covers the same issue in detail and describes how you can secure your perimeter. It describes numerous tools and shows how one can use these to explore vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in your network. It offers proactive defence measures to secure your network.
"Network Security Assessment" provides a good framework for anyone who is involved in network security. I've read a number of security books. But, I think this book is a text book for security engineers. The book starts from the basic concepts of network enumeration using basic scanning tools like nmap and discuss many server issues like http/ftp/smtp server etc.
It explains systematic use of tools and techniques for penetration testing. I strongly recommend this book for security engg and penetration testers.
Recommended for any InfoSec specialist (5/11 people found this helpful)
Although much of the book material I have known before, but the author illustrates the subject very well, and gives brilliant methodologies on how to perform pen tests.
