What if you could sit down with some of the most talented security engineers in the world and ask any network security question you wanted? "Security Power Tools" lets you do exactly that! Members of Juniper Networks' Security Engineering team and a few guest experts reveal how to use, tweak, and push the most popular network security applications, utilities, and tools available using Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Unix platforms. Designed to be browsed, "Security Power Tools" offers you multiple approaches to network security via 23 cross-referenced chapters that review the best security tools on the planet for both black hat techniques and white hat defense tactics. It's a must-have reference for network administrators, engineers and consultants with tips, tricks, and how-to advice for an assortment of freeware and commercial tools, ranging from intermediate level command-line operations to advanced programming of self-hiding exploits."Security Power Tools" details best practices for: reconnaissance - including tools for network scanning such as nmap; vulnerability scanning tools for Windows and Linux; LAN reconnaissance; tools to help with wireless reconnaissance; and custom packet generation; Penetration - such as the Metasploit framework for automated penetration of remote computers; tools to find wireless networks; exploitation framework applications; and tricks and tools to manipulate shellcodes; Control - including the configuration of several tools for use as backdoors; and a review of known rootkits for Windows and Linux.It also details best practices for: Defense - including host-based firewalls; host hardening for Windows and Linux networks; communication security with ssh; email security and anti-malware; and device security testing; Monitoring - such as tools to capture, and analyze packets; network monitoring with Honeyd and snort; and host monitoring of production servers for file changes; Discovery - including The Forensic Toolkit, SysInternals and other popular forensic tools; application fuzzer and fuzzing techniques; and, the art of binary reverse engineering using tools like Interactive Disassembler and Ollydbg.A practical and timely network security ethics chapter written by a Stanford University professor of law completes the suite of topics and makes this book a goldmine of security information.
