If you are a network administrator, you're under a lot of pressure
to ensure that mission-critical systems are completely safe from
malicious code, buffer overflows, stealth port scans, SMB probes,
OS fingerprinting attempts, CGI attacks, and other network
intruders. Designing a reliable way to detect intruders before they
get in is an essential--but often overwhelming--challenge. Snort,
the defacto open source standard of intrusion detection tools, is
capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging
on IP network. It can perform protocol analysis, content searching,
and matching. Snort can save countless headaches; the new "Snort
Cookbook" will save countless hours of sifting through dubious
online advice or wordy tutorials in order to leverage the full
power of SNORT.
Each recipe in the popular and practical
problem-solution-discussion O'Reilly cookbook format contains a
clear and thorough description of the problem, a concise but
complete discussion of a solution, and real-world examples that
illustrate that solution. The "Snort Cookbook" covers important
issues that sys admins and security pros will us everyday, such
as:
installation
optimization
logging
alerting
rules and signatures
detecting viruses
countermeasures
detecting common attacks
administration
honeypots
log analysis
But the "Snort Cookbook" offers far more than quick
cut-and-paste solutions to frustrating security issues. Those who
learn best in the trenches--and don't have the hours to spare to
pore over tutorials or troll online for best-practice snippets of
advice--will find that the solutions offered in this ultimate Snort
sourcebook not only solveimmediate problems quickly, but also
showcase the best tips and tricks they need to master be security
gurus--and still have a life.
