Hack Attacks Denied

Regardless of the business, an increasing number of users on private networks are demanding access to Internet services such as the World Wide Web (WWW), Internet mail, Telnet and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).  In addition, corporations want to offer Internet home pages and FTP servers for public access on the Internet.  Network administrators and managers have increasing concerns about the security of their networks when they expose their organization’s private data and networking infrastructure to Internet hackers, crackers, cyberpunks and phreaks.  To provide the required level of protection, an organization needs more than just a robust security policy to prevent unauthorized access, but a complete understanding of the elements involved in solid fortification from hack attacks.  Even if an organization is not connected to the Internet, it still needs to establish internal security to manage user access to portions of the network and protect sensitive or secret information.

This book dictates all of the above with the granular procedures required to successfully protect networks and systems against security threats.  By introducing a phased approach in correlation to book 1: Hack Attacks Revealed, book 2 provides the necessary security steps from the system to the daemon, concluding with that crucial ingredient… an effective personal or corporate security policy.

This book will impart its readers with an awareness of security dangers by instructing secret Tiger Team routines with examples and illustrations.  Hand-in-hand with book 1, Phase 1 covers securing system infrastructure engineering by explaining the processes essential to protect vulnerable ports and services.  Phase 2 correlates by protecting against the secret vulnerability penetrations taught in Book 1.  Phase 3 introduces the necessary technical hack countermeasures as they pertain to popular gateways, routers, Internet Server Daemons, operating systems, proxies and firewalls.  And finally, Phase 4 puts these security measures into perspective with the compilation of an effective security policy.  After reading  Hack Attacks Denied, one will become enlightened by understanding the proper precautions to make their systems and networks as safe as they need to be.
