For upper level Computer Science courses in Network Security and general courses in Security, as well as an essential resource for system administrators, network administrators, security specialists, and others directly involved in protecting network and computing infrastructure.
Written in an informal, east-to-follow manner, Counter Hack: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses provides a detailed guide to defending against hacker intrusion that will empower every network and system adminstrator to defend their network assets. Covering both Unix and Windows platforms, the book presents in-depth descriptions of the inner workings of the most destructive hacker tools, and proven countermeasures. The techniques in the book apply to all types of organizations using computers and networks including enterprises and service providers, from small to gigantic.
EDWARD SKOUDIS is Vice President of Security Strategy for Predictive Systems, a leading independent infrastructure network consulting company, helping global enterprises and service providers harness the power of network technology. His specialty is identifying and resolving security vulnerabilities in UNIX, Windows, firewall architectures, and Web servers. Skoudis is a frequent speaker at major security conferences such as SANS and has demonstrated hacker techniques for the United States Senate.
