Network Attacks and Exploitation (PDF)

Incorporate offense and defense for a more effective network
security strategy

Network Attacks and Exploitation provides a clear,
comprehensive roadmap for developing a complete offensive and
defensive strategy to engage in or thwart hacking and computer
espionage. Written by an expert in both government and corporate
vulnerability and security operations, this guide helps you
understand the principles of the space and look beyond the
individual technologies of the moment to develop durable
comprehensive solutions. Numerous real-world examples illustrate
the offensive and defensive concepts at work, including Conficker,
Stuxnet, the Target compromise, and more. You will find clear
guidance toward strategy, tools, and implementation, with practical
advice on blocking systematic computer espionage and the theft of
information from governments, companies, and individuals.

Assaults and manipulation of computer networks are rampant
around the world. One of the biggest challenges is fitting the
ever-increasing amount of information into a whole plan or
framework to develop the right strategies to thwart these attacks.
This book clears the confusion by outlining the approaches that
work, the tools that work, and resources needed to apply them.

* Understand the fundamental concepts of computer network
exploitation

* Learn the nature and tools of systematic attacks

* Examine offensive strategy and how attackers will seek to
maintain their advantage

* Understand defensive strategy, and how current approaches fail
to change the strategic balance

Governments, criminals, companies, and individuals are all
operating in a world without boundaries, where the laws, customs,
and norms previously established over centuries are only beginning
to take shape. Meanwhile computer espionage continues to grow in
both frequency and impact. This book will help you mount a robust
offense or a strategically sound defense against attacks and
exploitation. For a clear roadmap to better network security,
Network Attacks and Exploitation is your complete and
practical guide.
