Penetration testing a network requires a delicate balance of art and science. A penetration tester must be creative enough to think outside of the box to determine the best attack vector into his own network, and also be expert in using the literally hundreds of tools required to execute the plan. This book provides both the art and the science. The authors of the book are expert penetration testers who have developed many of the leading pen testing tools; such as the Metasploit framework. The authors allow the reader "inside their heads” to unravel the mysteries of thins like identifying targets, enumerating hosts, application fingerprinting, cracking passwords, and attacking exposed vulnerabilities. Along the way, the authors provide an invaluable reference to the hundreds of tools included on the bootable-Linux CD for penetration testing. * Covers both the methodology of penetration testing and all of the tools used by malicious hackers and penetration testers * The book is authored by many of the tool developers themselves * This is the only book that comes packaged with the "Auditor Security Collection"; a bootable Linux CD with over 300 of the most popular open source penetration testing tools

Many organizations and network administrators are looking for information on Windows 2000 and its new features. IT professionals responsible for installing, configuring and managing Microsoft products will be highly motivated to migrate to this new technology, based on its promise of reducing administrative overhead. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (the predecessor to Windows NT 4 Server) integrates network services for companies and administrators to set up and manage networks, remote access and extranets, as well as to manage other communications. Managing Windows 2000 Network Services will be the first book to focus exclusively on networking and integrated voice, video, and data on networks. Readers will learn how to deploy and integrate all Windows 2000 networking technologies within an enterprise network.

The only way to stop a hacker is to think like one! The World Wide Web Consortium's Extensible Markup Language (XML) is quickly becoming the new standard for data formatting and Internet development. XML is expected to be as important to the future of the Web as HTML has been to the foundation of the Web, and has proven itself to be the most common tool for all data manipulation and data transmission. Hack Proofing XML provides readers with hands-on instruction for how to secure the Web transmission and access of their XML data. This book will also introduce database administrators, web developers and web masters to ways they can use XML to secure other applications and processes. The first book to incorporate standards from both the Security Services Markup Language (S2ML) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) in one comprehensive book Covers the four primary security objectives: Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication and Non-repudiation Not only shows readers how to secure their XML data, but describes how to provide enhanced security for a broader range of applications and processes

The Defending Enterprise Networks Kit includes two books: Dr. Tom Shinder's ISA Server and Beyond and Special OPS Host and Network Security for Microsoft, UNIX, and Oracle. The former has been written, reviewed, and field tested by network and security engineers to help MCSE professionals lock down entire Microsoft enterprise networks. It delivers step-by-step explanations of how to carry out even the most complex and obscure security configurations on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows .Net enterprise networks. Special OPS Host and Network Security for Microsoft, UNIX, and Oracle includes nuts-and-bolts guidelines on inventorying assets, identifying highly vulnerable systems, mapping access paths and common intrusion routes, conducting penetration testing, recognizing intruders, adopting continuing assessment techniques, staffing an internal security team, formulating and enforcing policies, building internal education programs, and more.

This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to protect Internet-connected computers from unauthorized access. Coverage includes TCP/IP, setting up firewalls, testing and maintaining firewalls, and much more. All of the major important firewall products are covered including Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA), ISS BlackICE, Symantec Firewall, Check Point NG, and PIX Firewall. Firewall configuration strategies and techniques are covered in depth. The book answers questions about firewalls, from How do I make Web/HTTP work through my firewall? To What is a DMZ, and why do I want one? And What are some common attacks, and how can I protect my system against them? The Internet's explosive growth over the last decade has forced IT professionals to work even harder to secure the private networks connected to it-from erecting firewalls that keep out malicious intruders to building virtual private networks (VPNs) that permit protected, fully encrypted communications over the Internet's vulnerable public infrastructure. The Best Damn Firewalls Book Period covers the most popular Firewall products, from Cisco's PIX Firewall to Microsoft's ISA Server to CheckPoint NG, and all the components of an effective firewall set up. Anything needed to protect the perimeter of a network can be found in this book. - This book is all encompassing, covering general Firewall issues and protocols, as well as specific products. - Anyone studying for a security specific certification, such as SANS' GIAC Certified Firewall Analyst (GCFW) will find this book an invaluable resource. - The only book to cover all major firewall products from A to Z: CheckPoint, ISA Server, Symatec, BlackICE, PIX Firewall and Nokia.
