Most current books on network intrusion and network security assume that the reader is not interested in or capable of understanding the technical details of intrusion exploits -- they are often simply encyclopedias of hacking scripts and definitions."Maximum Network Security" takes a different approach and delves into the technical details of how crackers probe a network for its weak points and the orchestrate an attack.
The book begins with a technically detailed description of network cracking -- basic intrusion methodology, exploiting network architecture, cracking techniques, and orchestrated attacks.
It then describes defensive techniques -- setting up internal and perimeter defenses, implementing sophisticated instrusion detection programs, analyzing traffic patterns, and responding to an attack.
Unlike other references of its kind, it concentrates on the code and network side of hacking and countermeasures. It details for the reader the common techniques used to write and analyze the scripts that hackers use.
