From the Publisher
There are many ways that a potential attacker can interceptinformation, 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.
