Network Attacks and Exploitation: A Framework

Network Attacks and Exploitation: A Framework, 9781118987124 (1118987128), John Wiley & Sons, 2015

Incorporate offense and defense for a more effective network security strategy

Network Attacks and Exploitation provides a clear, comprehensive roadmap for developing a complete offensive and defensive strategy to engage in or thwart hacking and computer espionage. Written by an expert in both government and corporate vulnerability and security operations, this guide helps you understand the principles of the space and look beyond the individual technologies of the moment to develop durable comprehensive solutions. Numerous real-world examples illustrate the offensive and defensive concepts at work, including Conficker, Stuxnet, the Target compromise, and more. You will find clear guidance toward strategy, tools, and implementation, with practical advice on blocking systematic computer espionage and the theft of information from governments, companies, and individuals.

Assaults and manipulation of computer networks are rampant around the world. One of the biggest challenges is fitting the ever-increasing amount of information into a whole plan or framework to develop the right strategies to thwart these attacks. This book clears the confusion by outlining the approaches that work, the tools that work, and resources needed to apply them.

Understand the fundamental concepts of computer network exploitation
Learn the nature and tools of systematic attacks
Examine offensive strategy and how attackers will seek to maintain their advantage
Understand defensive strategy, and how current approaches fail to change the strategic balance

Governments, criminals, companies, and individuals are all operating in a world without boundaries, where the laws, customs, and norms previously established over centuries are only beginning to take shape. Meanwhile computer espionage continues to grow in both frequency and impact. This book will help you mount a robust offense or a strategically sound defense against attacks and exploitation. For a clear roadmap to better network security, Network Attacks and Exploitation is your complete and practical guide.

Smarter Outsourcing: An executive guide to understanding, planning and exploiting successful outsourcing relationships

FT Press, 2009

Experience around the world shows that roughly two-thirds of outsourcing agreements fail to deliver the targeted benefits or create the hoped-for value for shareholders. The reason often given for this level of failure is that outsourcing is an ‘immature’ activity – a rationale that neatly absolves the senior management involved...

The DFT: An Owners' Manual for the Discrete Fourier Transform

SIAM, 1987

Just as a prism separates white light into its component bands of colored light, so the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is used to separate a signal into its constituent frequencies. Just as a pair of sunglasses reduces the glare of white light, permitting only the softer green light to pass, so the DFT may be used to modify a signal to achieve a...
