Product Description

Product Description

How secure is your network? The best way to find out is to attack it. Network Security Assessment provides you with the tricks and tools professional security consultants use to identify and assess risks in Internet-based networks-the same penetration testing model they use to secure government, military, and commercial networks. With this book, you can adopt, refine, and reuse this testing model to design and deploy networks that are hardened and immune from attack.

Network Security Assessment demonstrates how a determined attacker scours Internet-based networks in search of vulnerable components, from the network to the application level. This new edition is up-to-date on the latest hacking techniques, but rather than focus on individual issues, it looks at the bigger picture by grouping and analyzing threats at a high-level. By grouping threats in this way, you learn to create defensive strategies against entire attack categories, providing protection now and into the future.

Network Security Assessment helps you assess:
  • Web services, including Microsoft IIS, Apache, Tomcat, and subsystems such as OpenSSL, Microsoft FrontPage, and Outlook Web Access (OWA)


  • Web application technologies, including ASP, JSP, PHP, middleware, and backend databases such as MySQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server


  • Microsoft Windows networking components, including RPC, NetBIOS, and CIFS services


  • SMTP, POP3, and IMAP email services


  • IP services that provide secure inbound network access, including IPsec, Microsoft PPTP, and SSL VPNs


  • Unix RPC services on Linux, Solaris, IRIX, and other platforms


  • Various types of application-level vulnerabilities that hacker tools and scripts exploit


Assessment is the first step any organization should take to start managing information risks correctly. With techniques to identify and assess risks in line with CESG CHECK and NSA IAM government standards, Network Security Assessment gives you a precise method to do just that.

Although much of the book material I have known before, but the author illustrates the subject very well, and gives brilliant methodologies on how to perform pen tests.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Network Security Assessment", 18 Feb 2006
By A Customer
The defacement of websites are increasing day by day. It doesn't
matter whether they are windows or *nix. Numerous exploits and
malicious codes are released every day. Researchers published new
vulnerabilities everyday online. So, the need arises to secure your perimeter from hackers and crackers. There are numerous freeware and commercial products available for this purpose. The book "Network Security Assessment" covers the same issue in detail and describes how you can secure your perimeter. It describes numerous tools and shows how one can use these to explore vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in your network. It offers proactive defence measures to secure your network.

"Network Security Assessment" provides a good framework for anyone who is involved in network security. I've read a number of security books. But, I think this book is a text book for security engineers. The book starts from the basic concepts of network enumeration using basic scanning tools like nmap and discuss many server issues like http/ftp/smtp server etc.

It explains systematic use of tools and techniques for penetration testing. I strongly recommend this book for security engg and penetration testers.
