If you're an advanced security professional, then you know
that the battle to protect online privacy continues to rage
on. Security chat rooms, especially, are resounding with
calls for vendors to take more responsibility to release
products that are more secure. In fact, with all the
information and code that is passed on a daily basis, it's a
fight that may never end. Fortunately, there are a number
of open source security tools that give you a leg up in the
battle.
Often a security tool does exactly what you want, right out
of the box. More frequently, you need to customize the
tool to fit the needs of your network structure. Network
Security Tools shows experienced administrators how to
modify, customize, and extend popular open source security
tools such as Nikto, Ettercap, and Nessus.
This concise, high-end guide discusses the common
customizations and extensions for these tools, then shows
you how to write even more specialized attack and
penetration reviews that are suited to your unique network
environment. It also explains how tools like port scanners,
packet injectors, network sniffers, and web assessment tools
function.
Some of the topics covered include:
Writing your own network sniffers and packet injection tools
Writing plugins for Nessus, Ettercap, and Nikto
Developing exploits for Metasploit
Code analysis for web applications
Writing kernel modules for security applications, and
understanding rootkits
While many books on security are either tediously academic
or overly sensational, Network Security Tools takes an
even-handed and accessible approach that will let you
quickly review the problem and implement new, practical
solutions--without reinventing the wheel. In an age when
security is critical, Network Security Tools is the resource
you want at your side when locking down your network.
