Network Security Tools (Paperback)

Often a security tool does exactly what you want, right out of the box. More frequently, you need to customize the tool to fit the needs of your network structure. "Network Security Tools" shows experienced administrators how to modify, customize, and extend popular open source security tools such as Nikto, Ettercap, and Nessus.

This concise, high-end guide discusses the common customizations and extensions for these tools, then shows you how to write even more specialized attack and penetration reviews that are suited to your unique network environment. It also explains how tools like port scanners, packet injectors, network sniffers, and web assessment tools function.

Some of the topics covered include:

Writing your own network sniffers and packet injection tools

Writing plugins for Nessus, Ettercap, and Nikto

Developing exploits for Metasploit

Code analysis for web applications

Writing kernel modules for security applications, and understanding rootkits

While many books on security are either tediously academic or overly sensational, "Network Security Tools" takes an even-handed and accessible approach that will let you quickly review the problem and implement new, practicalsolutions--without reinventing the wheel. In an age when security is critical, "Network Security Tools" is the resource you want at your side when locking down your network.
