Internet Denial of Service provides an in-depth look at the history and future of DDoS attacks. The authors draw on their extensive experience with actual DDoS attacks to offer practical methods for defending against and responding to such crimes. They also survey the commercial DDoS defense tools currently available and share the pros and cons of various defense strategies.
The first straightforward account of DDoS--a serious issue that impacts revenue in the board room and production in the server room.
- Despite there being thousands of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks daily and increasing at a rate of 120% per year, this is the first book devoted to the subject.
- The authors are highly-regarded authorities in this field who have been involved in a large number of real-life cases.
- Contains a thorough survey of the commercial DDoS defense tools currently available.

Suddenly your Web server becomes unavailable. When you investigate, you realize that a flood of packets is surging into your network. You have just become one of the hundreds of thousands of victims of a denial-of-service attack, a pervasive and growing threat to the Internet. What do you do?
Internet Denial of Service sheds light on a complex and fascinating form of computer attack that impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of millions of computers worldwide. It tells the network administrator, corporate CTO, incident responder, and student how DDoS attacks are prepared and executed, how to think about DDoS, and how to arrange computer and network defenses. It also provides a suite of actions that can be taken before, during, and after an attack.
Inside, you'll find comprehensive information on the following topics
- How denial-of-service attacks are waged
- How to improve your network's resilience to denial-of-service attacks
- What to do when you are involved in a denial-of-service attack
- The laws that apply to these attacks and their implications
- How often denial-of-service attacks occur, how strong they are, and the kinds of damage they can cause
- Real examples of denial-of-service attacks as experienced by the attacker, victim, and unwitting accomplices
The authors' extensive experience in handling denial-of-service attacks and researching defense approaches is laid out clearly in practical, detailed terms.

For years, Counter Hack has been the primary resource for every network/system administrator and security professional who needs a deep, hands-on understanding of hacker attacks and countermeasures. Now, leading network security experts Ed Skoudis and Tom Liston have thoroughly updated this best-selling guide, showing how to defeat today's newest, most sophisticated, and most destructive attacks.
An administrator's guide to setting up and managing a wireless LAN. Will cover: speeds and feeds (802.11b vs 11a vs 11g) configuring an 802.11 NIC (network information center) in a Windows and Linux environment.
Malicious code is a set of instructions that runs on your computer and makes
your system do something that you do not want it to do. For example, it can
delete sensitive configuration files from your hard drive, rendering your
computer completely inoperable; infect your computer and use it as a jumpingoff
point to spread to all of your buddies' computers; and steal files from your
machine. Malicious code in the hands of a crafty attacker is indeed powerful.
It's becoming even more of a problem because many of the very same factors
fueling the evolution of the computer industry are making our systems even
more vulnerable to malicious code. Specifically, malicious code writers benefit
from the trends toward mixing static data and executable instructions,
increasingly homogenous computing environments, unprecedented
connectivity, an ever-larger clueless user base, and an unfriendly world. Skoudis
addressed malicious code in just one chapter of his previous book. Here, a
dozen chapters focus on one of the most interesting and rapidly developing
areas of computer attacks.
*Chapter 11, "Defender's Toolbox," rolls together the defensive strategies
described in the book. As a bonus, Skoudis gives recipes for creating your own
malicious code analysis laboratory using cheap hardware and software.
*Foreword by Gene Schultz, security inspector for Global Integrity.
The book will focus on mobile networks which use IP or the Internet Protodol. Author is on IETF (Internet Eng Task Force) Group which has standardized Mobile IP and has worked inthis field at Motorola for many years. A good chunck of this book will focus on mobile IP routing and advanced mobile IP features. Author will also cover: security and firewalls in mobile IP nets, IPv6 mobility, multicasting, multi-protocol support, applications (intranet LAN to LAN, wireless LANS, conferencing, commercial wireless products).
Appropriate for all graduate-level and upper-level courses in network or computer security.
Widely regarded as the most comprehensive yet comprehensible guide to network security, the First Edition of Network Security received critical acclaim for its lucid and witty explanations of the inner workings of network security protocols. Now, in the Second Edition, this books exceptionally distinguished author team draws on its hard-won experience to illuminate every facet of information security, from the basics to advanced cryptography and authentication; secure Web and email services; and emerging security standards. Highlights of the books extensive new coverage include Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), IPsec, SSL, X.509 and related PKI standards, and Web security. The authors go far beyond documenting standards and technology: they contrast competing schemes, explain strengths and weaknesses, and identify the crucial errors most likely to compromise secure systems.
An implementation guide to optical networking from 2 cisco engineers. Topics covered will include: optical networking standards, optical technologies, Dense Wave Division Multiplexing, net generation intelligent optical networks, optical wavelength routing, routing with rsvp, dynamic packet transport and intelligent protection switching.

Appropriate for all courses in network or information security.
This book teaches students how to secure any network, large or small. More than other books, it reflects the realities network administrators actually face on the front lines, where they are constantly under attack, and don't always get the support they need from their organizations. Former UUNet network architect Allan Liska addresses every facet of network security, including defining security models, access control, Web/DNS/email security, remote access and VPNs, wireless LAN/WAN security, day-to-day monitoring and logging, attack response, and more. He systematically identifies today's most widespread security mistakes and vulnerabilities, offering realistic and up-to-date solutions. He then integrates these techniques in an end-to-end case study, showing how to redesign an insecure enterprise network for maximum security, one step at a time.
This book is the complete reference to today’s only Internet-based document
authoring and management standard: WebDAV (Web-based Distributed
Authoring and Versioning). If your work involves collaborative document
authoring, document management or Web or print publishing, WebDAV is
beginning to change the way you share documents with others.
Until recently, the Web has been limited to download and display capabilities.
HTTP editing functions do not allow multiple authors to work on the same
document remotely and in a secure manner. Much Web content authoring is
collaborative and occurs remotely. WebDAV is the first standard protocol to
address this need. It builds on and extends HTTP to bring the same benefits to
authoring that the Web has already brought to viewing content.
The Web is finally becoming a true authoring medium.
In the past year, support for WebDAV has greatly accelerated. Authors can
now use WebDAV in products such as Dreamweaver and Adobe products
such as Photoshop, GoLive and in the recently released version of
Framemaker WebDAV is also being supported in the operating systems
including MAC OS X and Windows XP.
