Applied Network Security Monitoring is the essential guide to becoming an NSM analyst from the ground up. This book takes a fundamental approach, complete with real-world examples that teach you the key concepts of NSM. Network security monitoring is based on the principle that prevention eventually fails. In the current threat landscape, no matter how much you try, motivated attackers will eventually find their way into your network. At that point, your ability to detect and respond to that intrusion can be the difference between a small incident and a major disaster. The book follows the three stages of the NSM cycle: collection, detection, and analysis. As you progress through each section, you will have access to insights from seasoned NSM professionals while being introduced to relevant, practical knowledge that you can apply immediately. 
<ul>
<li>Discusses the proper methods for planning and executing an NSM data collection strategy</li> <li>Provides thorough hands-on coverage of Snort, Suricata, Bro-IDS, SiLK, PRADS, and more</li> <li>The first book to define multiple analysis frameworks that can be used for performing NSM investigations in a structured and systematic manner</li> <li>Loaded with practical examples that make use of the Security Onion Linux distribution</li> <li>Companion website includes up-to-date blogs from the authors about the latest developments in NSM, complete with supplementary book materials</li>
</ul> If you've never performed NSM analysis, Applied Network Security Monitoring will help you grasp the core concepts needed to become an effective analyst. If you are already working in an analysis role, this book will allow you to refine your analytic technique and increase your effectiveness. You will get caught off guard, you will be blind sided, and sometimes you will lose the fight to prevent attackers from accessing your network. This book is about equipping you with the right tools for collecting the data you need, detecting malicious activity, and performing the analysis that will help you understand the nature of an intrusion. Although prevention can eventually fail, NSM doesn't have to. ** Note: All author royalties from the sale of Applied NSM are being donated to a number of charities selected by the authors.

It's easy enough to install Wireshark and begin capturing packets off the wire--or from the air. But how do you interpret those packets once you've captured them? And how can those packets help you to better understand what's going on under the hood of your network? Practical Packet Analysis shows how to use Wireshark to capture and then analyze packets as you take an indepth look at real-world packet analysis and network troubleshooting. The way the pros do it. 
Wireshark (derived from the Ethereal project), has become the world's most popular network sniffing application. But while Wireshark comes with documentation, there's not a whole lot of information to show you how to use it in real-world scenarios. Practical Packet Analysis shows you how to: 
<ul>
<li>Use packet analysis to tackle common network problems, such as loss of connectivity, slow networks, malware infections, and more</li> <li>Build customized capture and display filters</li> <li>Tap into live network communication</li> <li>Graph traffic patterns to visualize the data flowing across your network</li> <li>Use advanced Wireshark features to understand confusing packets</li> <li>Build statistics and reports to help you better explain technical network information to non-technical users</li> </ul>
 Because net-centric computing requires a deep understanding of network communication at the packet level, Practical Packet Analysis is a must have for any network technician, administrator, or engineer troubleshooting network problems of any kind.

The foundational guide for using deception against computer network adversaries.When an attacker breaks into your network, you have a home-field advantage. But how do you use it?Intrusion Detection Honeypots is the foundational guide to building, deploying, and monitoring honeypots -- security resources whose value lies in being probed and attacked. These fake systems, services, and tokens lure attackers in, enticing them to interact. Unbeknownst to the attacker, those interactions generate logs that alert you to their presence and educate you about their tradecraft. Intrusion Detection Honeypots teaches you how to: Use the See-Think-Do framework to integrate honeypots into your network and lure attackers into your traps, leverage honey services that mimic HTTP, SSH, and RDP, hide honey tokens amongst legitimate documents, files, and folders, entice attackers to use fake credentials that give them away, create honey commands, honey tables, honey broadcasts, and other unique detection tools that leverage deception, and monitor honeypots for interaction and investigate the logs they generate.With the techniques in this book, you can safely use honeypots inside your network to detect adversaries before they accomplish their goals.

Amongst other measures that address the need to reduce CO2 emissions, that of having better insulated buildings requires more sophisticated methods such as numerical modelling to calculate the heat loss caused by thermal bridging at wall, roof and floor junctions and around openings. This guide gives the information needed by designers and numerical modellers to carry out these calculations, so that users of the same software package or users of different software packages can obtain consistent, reproducible results. For building regulation purposes two key modelling outputs, temperature factor and linear thermal transmittance, are identified. These key outputs will enable designers to confirm the adequacy of particular junction details and help with the development of novel solutions to improve the thermal performance of junctions. This second edition has been comprehensively updated and includes: - additional  junction types with guidance on how they should be modelled- 7 new worked examples giving the determined values of linear thermal transmittance and temperature factors.
