Inc.
Malicious hackers are everywhere these days, so how do you keep
them out of your networks? This unique volume challenges your
forensics and incident response skills with 20 real-world hacks
presented by upper-echelon security experts. Important topics are
covered, including Denial of Service, wireless technologies, Web
attacks, and malicious code. Each challenge includes a detailed
explanation of the incident--how the break-in was detected,
evidence and possible clues, technical background such as log files
and network maps, and a series of questions for you to solve. Then,
in Part II, you get a detailed analysis of how the experts solved
each incident.
Excerpt from "The Insider":
The Challenge:
Kris, a software company's senior I.T. staffer, got a call from
the helpdesk....Users were complaining that the entire contents of
their inbox, outbox, and deleted items folders had completely
disappeared....The following Monday, Kris found that the entire
Exchange database had been deleted....The attacker sent an email
from a Yahoo! account taking responsibility for the attacks....The
e-mail had been sent from a machine within the victim's network.
Kris brought in an external security team who immediately began
their investigation...In addition to gathering physical security
logs, Microsoft Exchange logs, and virtual private network (VPN)
logs they interviewed key people inside the company....
The Solution:
After reviewing the log files included in the challenge, propose
your assessment--whendid the deletion of e-mail accounts begin and
end, which users were connected to the VPN at the time, and what IP
addresses were the users connecting from? Then, turn to the
experts' answers to find out what really happened.
