Features: This book introduces the strategies used in network attacks and defenses by analyzing hacker attack techniques. It examines various topics from both hacker attack and security defense perspectives, providing detailed insights into the motivations behind hacker attacks and the methods of defense. The chapters are organized based on specific technical areas and management tasks, offering theoretical knowledge to network defenders as attackers employ constantly evolving, proactive tools and techniques. Each chapter provides "paths" to access attack or protective websites and other resources to supplement the existing content. Referencing these continuously updated resources ensures the timeliness and long-term effectiveness of the book. By teaching IT professionals how to think like hackers, it provides a highly valuable weapon in the "war" to protect digital assets. The book has the following features:
Focused on Unix and Microsoft's Windows NT/2000 platforms.
Uses comparative analysis of attacks and defenses in the form of charts based on a rational security architecture.
Provides technical foundations for:
- Programming and code exploitation methods
- Protocols and their fundamental vulnerabilities
- Databases and their weaknesses and defensive measures
Analyzes the strategies and tools used by intruders as they penetrate deep into networks.
Reveals the work related to forensic investigation.
The book uses an analytical perspective to view hacker behavior and security, comparing attacks and defenses to the chess game analogy, where offense and defense exhibit unity and opposition. By uncovering the technical intricacies of hacker behavior, it enables administrators to achieve a deep understanding of both sides, accurately "mapping" hacker actions to future defense systems.
