The ultimate hands-on guide to IT security and proactive defense
The Network Security Test Lab is a hands-on, step-by-step guide to
ultimate IT security implementation. Covering the full complement of
malware, viruses, and other attack technologies, this essential guide
walks you through the security assessment and penetration testing
process, and provides the set-up guidance you need to build your own
security-testing lab. You'll look inside the actual attacks to decode
their methods, and learn how to run attacks in an isolated sandbox to
better understand how attackers target systems, and how to build the
defenses that stop them. You'll be introduced to tools like Wireshark,
Networkminer, Nmap, Metasploit, and more as you discover techniques for
defending against network attacks, social networking bugs, malware, and
the most prevalent malicious traffic. You also get access to open source
tools, demo software, and a bootable version of Linux to facilitate
hands-on learning and help you implement your new skills.
Security technology continues to evolve, and yet not a week goes by
without news of a new security breach or a new exploit being released.
The Network Security Test Lab is the ultimate guide when you are on
the front lines of defense, providing the most up-to-date methods of
thwarting would-be attackers.
- Get acquainted with your hardware, gear, and test platform
- Learn how attackers penetrate existing security systems
- Detect malicious activity and build effective defenses
- Investigate and analyze attacks to inform defense strategy
The Network Security Test Lab is your complete, essential guide.
