To the uninitiated, the title may seem like an oxymoron: after all,
aren't hacks what network security is supposed to prevent? But if
you're network administrator, this book's title not only makes sense;
it makes a lot of sense. You know that a busy administrator needs a
hatful of devilishly effective security hacks to keep your 12-hour days
from becoming all-nighters. Network Security Hacks is not a long-winded
treatise on security theory. Instead, this information packed little
book provides 100 quick, practical, and clever things to do to help
make your Linux, UNIX, or Windows networks more secure today. This
compendium of security hacks doesn't just cover securing TCP/IP-based
services, but also provides intelligent host-based security techniques.
Loaded with concise but powerful examples of applied encryption,
intrusion detection, logging, trending, and incident response, Network
Security Hacks will demonstrate effective methods for defending your
servers and networks from a variety of devious and subtle attacks.
