Produktbeschreibung
There are many ways that a potential attacker can intercept information, or learn more about the sender, as the information travels over a network. Silence on the Wire uncovers these silent attacks so that system administrators can defend against them, as well as better understand and monitor their systems.

Silence on the Wire dissects several unique and fascinating security and privacy problems associated with the technologies and protocols used in everyday computing, and shows how to use this knowledge to learn more about others or to better defend systems. By taking an in-depth look at modern computing, from hardware on up, the book helps the system administrator to better understand security issues, and to approach networking from a new, more creative perspective. The sys admin can apply this knowledge to network monitoring, policy enforcement, evidence analysis, IDS, honeypots, firewalls, and forensics. Unlike many other security compendia, the book primarily covers less obvious and less publicized passive attacks, ones the other party would not be aware of. As such, it shifts the intended audience towards legitimate users. The book tackles a variety of challenging topics, often crossing the line between computer science and mathematics and electronics.

KEY SELLING POINTS
- Author is very well-known in the security/hacking community
- With a Foreword by Solar Designer (also the book's technical reviewer)
- Stimulates readers to think more creatively about security problems
- Focuses on non-trivial and significant problems, not hype
