<item><title>Computer Network Security</title><link>http://www.netyi.net/training/80543552-3b0e-4856-989b-be36f88a301d</link><description>Preface&lt;br/&gt;The frequency of computer network attacks and the subsequent&lt;br/&gt;sensational news reporting have alerted the public to the vulnerability&lt;br/&gt;of computer networks and the dangers of not only using them but also&lt;br/&gt;of depending on them. In addition, such activities and reports have put&lt;br/&gt;society in a state of constant fear always expecting the next big one and&lt;br/&gt;what it would involve, and forced people to focus on security issues.&lt;br/&gt;The greatest fear among professionals however, is that of a public with&lt;br/&gt;a hundred percent total dependency on computers and computer&lt;br/&gt;networks becoming desensitized, having reached a level where they are&lt;br/&gt;almost immune, where they no longer care about such fears. If this&lt;br/&gt;ever happens, we the professionals, and society in general, as creators&lt;br/&gt;of these networks, will have failed to ensure their security.&lt;br/&gt;Unfortunately, there are already signs that this is beginning to&lt;br/&gt;happen. We are steamrolling at full speed into total dependency on&lt;br/&gt;computers and computer networks, yet despite the multiplicity of&lt;br/&gt;sometimes confusing security solutions and best practices on the&lt;br/&gt;market, numerous security experts and proclaimed good intentions of&lt;br/&gt;implementation of these solutions, there is no one agreed on approach&lt;br/&gt;to the network security problem. In fact, if the current computer&lt;br/&gt;ownership, use, and dependency on computers and computer network&lt;br/&gt;keep on track, the number of such attacks is likewise going to keep&lt;br/&gt;rising at probably the same rate if not higher. Likewise the national&lt;br/&gt;critical infrastructures will become more intertwined than they are now,&lt;br/&gt;making the security of these systems a great priority for national and&lt;br/&gt;individual security.&lt;br/&gt;The picture we have painted here of total dependency worries many,&lt;br/&gt;especially those in the security community. Without a doubt security&lt;br/&gt;professionals are more worried about computer system security and&lt;br/&gt;information security than the average computer user because they are&lt;br/&gt;the people in the trenches on the forefront of the system security battle,&lt;br/&gt;just as soldiers in a war might worry more about the prospects of a&lt;br/&gt;successful outcome than would the general civilian population. They&lt;br/&gt;are worried more because they know that whatever quantity of&lt;br/&gt;resources we have as a society, we are not likely to achieve perfect&lt;br/&gt;security because security is a continuous process based on a changing&lt;br/&gt;technology. As the technology changes, security parameters, needs,&lt;br/&gt;requirements, and standards change.We are playing a catch up game&lt;br/&gt;whose outcome is uncertain and probably un-winnable.There are&lt;br/&gt;several reasons for this.&lt;br/&gt;First, the overwhelming number of computer network&lt;br/&gt;vulnerabilities are software based resulting from either application or&lt;br/&gt;system software. As anyone with a first course in software engineering&lt;br/&gt;will tell you, it is impossible to test out all bugs in a software product&lt;br/&gt;with billions of possible outcomes based on just a few inputs. So unlike&lt;br/&gt;other branches of product engineering such as car and airplane&lt;br/&gt;manufacturing, where one can test all possible outcomes from any given&lt;br/&gt;inputs, it is impossible to do this in software. This results in an&lt;br/&gt;unknown number of bugs in every software product. Yet the role of&lt;br/&gt;software as the engine that drives these networks is undisputable and&lt;br/&gt;growth of the software industry is only in its infancy.&lt;br/&gt;Second, there is more computer proliferation and dependence on&lt;br/&gt;computers and computer networks. As more people join cyberspace,&lt;br/&gt;more system attacks are likely. This is evidenced in the recent spree of&lt;br/&gt;cyber attacks. The rate of cyber vandalism both reported and unreported&lt;br/&gt;is on the rise. Organized attacks such as &amp;quot;Solar Sunrise&amp;quot; on Defense&lt;br/&gt;Department computers in February 1998, and computer viruses such as&lt;br/&gt;Melissa, &amp;quot;I LOVE&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Blaster&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sobig&amp;quot; worms are&lt;br/&gt;increasing. According to Carnegie Mellon University's CERT&lt;br/&gt;Coordination Center, a federally funded emergency response team, the&lt;br/&gt;number of security incidents handled by CERT was on the rise from&lt;br/&gt;1,334 in 1993 to 82,094 by the end of 2002.&lt;br/&gt;Third, it is extremely difficult to find a suitable security solution&lt;br/&gt;although there are thousands of them, some very good and others not&lt;br/&gt;worth mentioning. In the last several years, as security issues and&lt;br/&gt;frequent system attacks have hit the news, there has been a tremendous&lt;br/&gt;response from security firms and individuals to develop security&lt;br/&gt;solutions and security best practices. However, as the number of&lt;br/&gt;security solutions skyrocketed so did the confusion among security&lt;br/&gt;experts on the best solutions for given situations.&lt;br/&gt;Fourth, as in the case of security solutions, there has been an&lt;br/&gt;oversupply of security experts, which is good in a situation where we&lt;br/&gt;have more security problems on the rise. However, the more security&lt;br/&gt;experts you get, the more diverse their answers become on security&lt;br/&gt;issues. It is almost impossible to find two security experts agreeing on&lt;br/&gt;the same security issues. This, together with the last concern, create a&lt;br/&gt;sea of confusion.&lt;br/&gt;When all these factors are put in place, the picture we get is a&lt;br/&gt;gloomy one. It indicates, even in light of massive efforts since&lt;br/&gt;September 11, 2001, and the numerous security solutions and security&lt;br/&gt;experts, that we still have a poor state of cyberspace security, and&lt;br/&gt;that the cyberspace resources are as vulnerable as ever, if not more so.&lt;br/&gt;For example, the cyberspace infrastructure and communication&lt;br/&gt;protocols are still inherently weak; there are no plans to educate the&lt;br/&gt;average user in cyberspace to know the computer network&lt;br/&gt;infrastructure, its weaknesses and vulnerabilities and how to fix them,&lt;br/&gt;while our dependency on computers has not abetted; in fact it is on the&lt;br/&gt;rise. Although we have a multitude of solutions, these solutions are for&lt;br/&gt;already known vulnerabilities. Security history has shown us that&lt;br/&gt;hackers do not always use existing scripts. Brand new attack scripts are&lt;br/&gt;likely to continue, yet the only known remedy mechanisms and&lt;br/&gt;solutions to the problem are patching loopholes after an attack has&lt;br/&gt;occurred. Finally, although there are efforts to streamline reporting,&lt;br/&gt;much of the effort is still voluntary.&lt;br/&gt;More efforts and massive awareness, therefore, are needed to bring&lt;br/&gt;the public to where they can be active participants in the fight for&lt;br/&gt;cyberspace security. Although there has been more movement in&lt;br/&gt;security awareness since the September 11, 2001 attacks on America,&lt;br/&gt;thanks to the Department of Homeland Security and the President's&lt;br/&gt;Critical Infrastructure Initiative, our task of educating the public and&lt;br/&gt;enlisting their help is just beginning.&lt;br/&gt;This book, a massive and comprehensive volume, is intended to&lt;br/&gt;bring maximum awareness of cyberspace security, in general and&lt;br/&gt;computer network security , in particular, and to suggest ways to deal&lt;br/&gt;with the security situation. It does this comprehensively in four parts&lt;br/&gt;and twenty chapters. Part I gives the reader an understanding of the&lt;br/&gt;working of and the security situation of computer networks. Part I1&lt;br/&gt;builds on this knowledge and exposes the reader to the prevailing&lt;br/&gt;security situation based on a constant security threat. It surveys several&lt;br/&gt;security threats. Part 111, the largest, forms the core of the book and&lt;br/&gt;presents to the reader most of the best practices and solutions that are&lt;br/&gt;currently in use. Part IV is for projects. In addition to the solutions,&lt;br/&gt;several products and services are given for each security solution&lt;br/&gt;under discussion.&lt;br/&gt;In summary the book attempts to achieve the following objectives:&lt;br/&gt;1 Educate the public about computer security in general&lt;br/&gt;terms and computer network security in particular,&lt;br/&gt;with reference to the Internet,&lt;br/&gt;2 Alert the public to the magnitude of computer&lt;br/&gt;network vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and loopholes&lt;br/&gt;inherent in the computer network infrastructure&lt;br/&gt;3 Bring to the public attention effective security best&lt;br/&gt;practices and solutions, expert opinions on those&lt;br/&gt;solutions, and the possibility of ad-hoc solutions&lt;br/&gt;4 Look at the roles legislation, regulation, and&lt;br/&gt;enforcement play in computer network security&lt;br/&gt;efforts&lt;br/&gt;5 Finally, initiate a debate on the future of cyberspace&lt;br/&gt;security where it is still lacking.&lt;br/&gt;Since the book covers a wide variety of security topics, solutions,&lt;br/&gt;and best practices, it is intended to be both a teaching and a reference&lt;br/&gt;tool for all interested in learning about computer network security&lt;br/&gt;issues and available techniques to prevent cyber attacks. The depth&lt;br/&gt;and thorough discussion and analysis of most of the computer network&lt;br/&gt;security issues, together with the discussion of security solutions given,&lt;br/&gt;makes the book a unique reference source of ideas for computer&lt;br/&gt;network security personnel, network security policy makers, and&lt;br/&gt;those reading for leisure. In addition the book provokes the reader by&lt;br/&gt;raising valid legislative, legal, social, and ethical security issues&lt;br/&gt;including the increasingly diminishing line between individual privacy&lt;br/&gt;and the need for collective and individual security.&lt;br/&gt;The book targets college students in computer science, information&lt;br/&gt;science, technology studies, library sciences, engineering, and to a&lt;br/&gt;lesser extent students in the arts and sciences who are interested in&lt;br/&gt;information technology. In addition, students in information&lt;br/&gt;management sciences will find the book particularly helpful.&lt;br/&gt;Practitioners, especially those working in information-intensive areas,&lt;br/&gt;will likewise find the book a good reference source. It will also be&lt;br/&gt;valuable to those interested in any aspect of cyberspace security and&lt;br/&gt;those simply wanting to become cyberspace literate.&lt;br/&gt;Joseph Migga Kizza&lt;br/&gt;Chattanooga, Tennessee&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Contents&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Preface  xix&lt;br/&gt;Part I: Understanding Computer Network Security&lt;br/&gt;1 .

<item><title>How to Cheat at Managing Information Security</title><link>http://www.netyi.net/training/2ac13ec2-dd91-490d-a792-33605e6c578a</link><description>Editorial Reviews&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Product Description&lt;br/&gt;This is the only book that covers all the topics that any budding security manager needs to know! This book is written for managers responsible for IT/Security departments from mall office environments up to enterprise networks. These individuals do not need to know about every last bit and byte, but they need to have a solid understanding of all major, IT security issues to effectively manage their departments. This book is designed to cover both the basic concepts of security, non-technical principle and practices of security and provides basic information about the technical details of many of the products - real products, not just theory. Written by a well known Chief Information Security Officer, this book gives the information security manager all the working knowledge needed to: &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Design the organization chart of his new security organization &lt;br/&gt;Design and implement policies and strategies &lt;br/&gt;Navigate his way through jargon filled meetings &lt;br/&gt;Understand the design flaws of his E-commerce and DMZ infrastructure &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Preface&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sometimes I’m asked why I wrote this book, and my answer can be summed&lt;br/&gt;up by a very simple story.While I worked for a large audit firm, I was phoned&lt;br/&gt;up by an auditor I vaguely knew.“Hi, I have an interview for the position of&lt;br/&gt;security manager next week,” he said with obvious enthusiasm.“I know it’s got&lt;br/&gt;a lot to do with passwords and hackers, but can you give me more details?”&lt;br/&gt;He must have thought I hung up by mistake because he phoned back—&lt;br/&gt;twice!&lt;br/&gt;This book isn’t the most comprehensive security text ever written, but I&lt;br/&gt;think it contains many of the things you need to understand to be a good IT&lt;br/&gt;security manager.

<item><title>Defend I.T.: Security by Example</title><link>http://www.netyi.net/training/1b6f90f0-2d92-48c3-afd4-5eb91f5372bf</link><description>&amp;quot;Ajay and Scott take an interesting approach in filling Defend I.T. with case studies and using them to demonstrate important security principles. This approach works well and is particularly valuable in the security space, where companies and consultants are often hesitant to discuss true security incidents for potential embarrassment and confidentiality reasons. Defend I.T. is full of engaging stories and is a good read.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt;-Fyodor, author of the Nmap Security Scanner and Insecure.Org&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;quot;Defend I.T. answers reader demand for scenario-driven examples. Security professionals will be able to look at these case studies and relate them to their own experiences. That sets this book apart.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt;-Lance Hayden, Cisco Systems&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;quot;This is an exciting book! It's like reading several mysteries at once from different viewpoints, with the added benefit of learning forensic procedures along the way. Readers will benefit from the procedures, and the entertaining presentation is a real plus.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt;-Elizabeth Zinkann, Equilink Consulting&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The battle between IT professionals and those who use the Internet for destructive purposes is raging-and there is no end in sight. Reports of computer crime and incidents from the CERT Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon University more than double each year and are expected to rise. Meanwhile, viruses and worms continue to take down organizations for days. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Defend I.T.: Security by Example draws on detailed war stories to identify what was done right and what was done wrong in actual computer-security attacks, giving you the opportunity to benefit from real experiences. Approaches to securing systems and networks vary widely from industry to industry and organization to organization. By examining a variety of real-life incidents companies are too embarrassed to publicly share, the authors explain what could have been done differently to avoid the losses incurred--whether creating a different process for incident response or having better security countermeasures in place to begin with. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Inside, you'll find in-depth case studies in a variety of categories:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Basic Hacking: Blackhat bootcamp, including mapping a network, exploiting vulnerable architecture, and launching denial-of-service attacks &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Current Methods: The latest in malicious deeds, including attacks on wireless networks, viruses and worms, and compromised Web servers &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Additional Items on the Plate: Often overlooked security measures such as developing a security policy, intrusion-detection systems, disaster recovery, and government regulations &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Old School: Classic means of compromising networks-war dialing and social engineering &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Forensics: How to investigate industrial espionage, financial fraud, and network intrusion &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Aimed at both information-security professionals and network administrators, Defend I.T. shows you how to tap the best computer-security practices and industry standards to deter attacks and better defend networks. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Preface&lt;br/&gt;What does a cyber security professional do? This is a question often posed by individuals who have heard a lot about security—especially the need to secure their electronic assets—but who are not entirely clear on what is involved. Cyber security involves a variety of things. Although we, the cyber security professionals, understand the various aspects of our jobs, it is often difficult to explain to people outside the profession (even our spouses) what exactly we do, and what exactly needs to be done to secure electronic assets.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The details of many professions are difficult to describe, so examples often offer the best means of explanation. Security is no different. In this book we hope to provide some insight into cyber security by using case studies to describe what a cyber security professional does.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We hope that this collection of case studies will serve as a tour of many of the issues that cyber security professionals face, not only in their careers but in their day-to-day lives.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;One of the goals of this book, then, is to explain what we do; but there are other, more critical goals as well. Our primary aim is to provide practical examples of the types of issues that security professionals must be prepared to face in the execution of their duties.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Contents&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;     Copyright &lt;br/&gt;     Preface &lt;br/&gt;        How the Book Is Structured &lt;br/&gt;        Format of the Case Studies &lt;br/&gt;        Audience &lt;br/&gt;        Acknowledgments &lt;br/&gt;     About the Authors &lt;br/&gt;        Primary Authors &lt;br/&gt;        Contributing Authors &lt;br/&gt;     Introduction &lt;br/&gt;        Disclaimers &lt;br/&gt;     Part I:  Basic Hacking &lt;br/&gt;          Chapter 1.

<item><title>Protect Your Windows Network From Perimeter to Data</title><link>http://www.netyi.net/training/40e11a31-1409-4390-b3e3-153bd7c77dad</link><description>Overview&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In this book, two senior members of Microsoft's Security and Business Technology Unit present a complete &amp;quot;Defense in Depth&amp;quot; model for protecting any Windows networkno matter how large or complex. Drawing on their work with hundreds of enterprise customers, they systematically address all three elements of a successful security program: people, processes, and technology.Unlike security books that focus on individual attacks and countermeasures, this book shows how to address the problem holistically, in its entirety. Through hands-on examples and practical case studies, you'll learn how to integrate multiple defensesdeterring attacks, delaying them, and increasing the cost to the attacker. Coverage includes Improving security from the top of the network stack to the bottom Understanding what you need to do right away, and what can wait Avoiding &amp;quot;pseudo-solutions&amp;quot; that offer a false sense of security Developing effective security policiesand educating those pesky users Beefing up your first line of defense: physical and perimeter security Modeling threats and identifying security dependencies Preventing rogue access from inside the network Systematically hardening Windows servers and clients Protecting client applications, server applications, and web services Detecting intrusions and mitigating the effects of successful attacks Addressing the unique challenges of small business network securityAuthoritative and thorough, Protect Your Windows Network will be the standard Microsoft security guide for sysadmins, netadmins, security professionals, architects, and technical decision-makers alike.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Preface&lt;br/&gt;More than a year ago now, I (Jesper) decided that I was finally going to write a book on security. Partially it was because I was getting tired of answering the same questions over and over again, partially because I thought I had something unique to say, and partially because I am hoping to buy a small boat with the proceeds.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;After writing the outline and the first chapter, I decided that I needed a co-author to help out, particularly because I simply do not know nearly as much as I would like about certain topics. Because Steve had already had his own thoughts about writing a book, this was a great match. Steve is a perfect complement in the sense that both of us started the same way, in networking, but unlike myself, who went into IT so I could avoid having to deal with people, Steve is actually an extrovert who loves to figure out how to protect people from people. Of course, both of us enjoy debating controversial opinions, mostly just for the thrill of the argument. Working together, the book slowly started to take shape.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The book is focused around the defense-in-depth model we helped develop and refine in our work at Microsoft, and it gives a logical flow to the book that helps in building an overall security strategy, something both of us believed was lacking in the current literature. You get only so much security if you concentrate solely on the technology; the people and the processes are equally important. Indeed, without thought in those two areas, most of the technology you deploy to protect information systems will fail to do what you intendit will only give you a false sense of security, which in fact can be more dangerous than no security at all.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Much of what you see in these pages has been said before, in various presentations. Both of us travel the world to deliver speeches on security, and if you have ever heard us you will no doubt recognize some of the things you will read in these pages. In a sense, the book is the lecture notes everyone who has heard our presentations keeps asking for. Of course, those notes are sorely needed because most of our presentations are increasingly light on slides to avoid that all-too-common malady: death by PowerPoint.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Everyone we know who has written a book always says in the foreword that their first book is one they wanted to write for a long time. (We are now wondering what's left for us to write in our second book.) That is good, because it takes a long time to write a book. Neither of us thought that we had the competency to write one until recently, so it is not really true that we have wanted to write it for a long time. We have certainly thought about security for a long time, though, and you could certainly say that we wanted to learn enough about it for a long time to have something meaningful to say. After we had spent a few years talking to people, it was clear that security is an area that is fraught with misunderstandings (as we see them) and snake oil (pseudo-solutions that do not do what they purport to do at best, and are harmful at worst).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We find this type of &amp;quot;security theater&amp;quot; all around us. Consider, for instance, next time you go through an airport security check, who would be capable of causing more damage: a 92-year-old great-grandmother with a pair of cuticle scissors, or a 22-year-old martial arts black belt? They will confiscate the cuticle scissors, but they will allow the martial arts champion on the plane without putting him in shackles first. Some secure facilities will confiscate USB drives (and GPS receiverswhy in the world?) &amp;quot;for security reasons,&amp;quot; but they allow 80 GB FireWire (i1394) drives through because the security personnel cannot imagine any &amp;quot;threats&amp;quot; associated with digital music players. Many organizations have a password policy that requires users to use passwords too long and complicated to remember (and then routinely complain about the expense of resetting locked-out accounts), they block any kind of information gathering from ancient operating systems, and they do it all on computers that have not been patched for more than a year! It may appear that they are providing security but in reality this is nothing more than security theater.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We finally decided that the right way to dispel these myths was to write a book. At the time, it seemed like a really good idea, and we are sure that at some point it will seem like a good idea again.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Contents&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;     Copyright &lt;br/&gt;     Praise for Protect Your Windows Network &lt;br/&gt;     Acknowledgments &lt;br/&gt;     About the Authors &lt;br/&gt;        Jesper M.
