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 generationPenetration -- 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 shellcodesControl -- including the configuration of several tools for use as backdoors; and a review of known rootkits for Windows and LinuxDefense -- including host-based firewalls; host hardening for Windows and Linux networks; communication security with ssh; email security and anti-malware; and device security testingMonitoring -- such as tools to capture, and analyze packets; network monitoring with Honeyd and snort; and host monitoring of production servers for file changesDiscovery -- 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 OllydbgA 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. Save yourself a ton of headaches and be prepared for any network security dilemma with Security Power Tools.

Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier’s Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge.Lynn’s study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

Consumers around the world often give voluntary sums of money (called tips) to service providers after those workers have served them. There are no good measures of how much is tipped worldwide, but total tips in the US food and beverage industry alone are estimated to exceed $45 billion a year. Thus, tips represent more than small change and their salience and importance have grown in recent years with the advent of digital tipping, which has expanded both the number and types of services asking for tips and the size of tips they are asking for. Academic psychologists and other scholars have studied this topic for 50 years, but that information is locked away in academic journals and writing that is not easily accessible to the general public. This book brings that work together, along with new previously unpublished analyses, in readable prose that shares what we have learned about the topic – including why people tip, who are the best and worst tippers, why we tip some occupations and not others, why tipping norms vary across countries, and what factors influence the size of tips consumers leave. The insights revealed will benefit consumers struggling to navigate the complex and evolving expectations placed on them, tipped workers seeking to increase their incomes, managers of tipped workers interested in improving employee morale and customer satisfaction, and academics interested in further advancing our understanding of this fascinating behavior.
