The classic guide to network security—now fully updated!"Bob and Alice are back!"

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. In the second edition, this most distinguished of author teams draws on hard-won experience to explain the latest developments in this field that has become so critical to our global network-dependent society.

Network Security, Second Edition brings together clear, insightful, and clever explanations of every key facet of information security, from the basics to advanced cryptography and authentication, secure Web and email services, and emerging security standards. Coverage includes:

• All-new discussions of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), IPsec, SSL, and Web security
• Cryptography: In-depth, exceptionally clear introductions to secret and public keys, hashes, message digests, and other crucial concepts
• Authentication: Proving identity across networks, common attacks against authentication systems, authenticating people, and avoiding the pitfalls of authentication handshakes
• Core Internet security standards: Kerberos 4/5, IPsec, SSL, PKIX, and X.509
• Email security: Key elements of a secure email system-plus detailed coverage of PEM, S/MIME, and PGP
• Web security: Security issues associated with URLs, HTTP, HTML, and cookies
• Security implementations in diverse platforms, including Windows, NetWare, and Lotus Notes

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. Network Security will appeal to a wide range of professionals, from those who design or evaluate security systems to system administrators and programmers who want a better understanding of this important field. It can also be used as a textbook at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level.

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.

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.

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.
