Description Learn how to conduct thorough security examinations via illustrations and virtual simulations A network security breach (a hack, crack, or other invasion) occurs when unauthorized access to the network is achieved and havoc results. The best possible defense is an offensive strategy that allows you to regularly test your network to reveal the vulnerabilities and close the holes before someone gets in. Written by veteran author and security expert John Chirillo, Hack Attacks Testing explains how to perform your own security audits. Step by step, the book covers how-to drilldowns for installing and configuring your Tiger Box operating systems, installations, and configurations for some of the most popular auditing software suites. In addition, it includes both common and custom usages, scanning methods, and reporting routines of each. Finally, Chirillo inspects the individual vulnerability scanner results and compares them in an evaluation matrix against a select group of intentional security holes on a target network. Chirillo tackles such topics as: Building a multisystem Tiger Box Basic Windows 2000 Server installation and configuration for auditing Basic Linux and Solaris installation and configuration Basic Mac OS X installation and configuration for auditing ISS, CyberCop, Nessus, SAINT, and STAT scanners Using security analysis tools for Mac OS X Vulnerability assessment Other books on Computer Security Crimeware: Understanding New Attacks and Defenses (Symantec Press) Information Security Management Handbook, Sixth Edition, Volume 2 Secrets Stolen, Fortunes Lost: Preventing Intellectual Property Theft and Economic Espionage in the 21st Century Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition Smart Cards, Tokens, Security and Applications Digital Privacy: Theory, Technologies, and Practices Gray Hat Hacking, Second Edition Insider Computer Fraud: An In-depth Framework for Detecting and Defending against Insider IT Attacks Securing Biometrics Applications Hacking Exposed Windows: Microsoft Windows Security Secrets and Solutions, Third Edition (Hacking Exposed) The Craft of System Security Advances in Biometrics: Sensors, Algorithms and Systems Handbook of Biometrics The Web Application Hacker's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Flaws The Best Damn IT Security Management Book Period
