| Essential reading for any IT security organization, Hack Proofing Windows 2000 Server takes on a single, vital feature of Windows 2000 Server operations and explains its many aspects, both conceptually and practically. It expertly documents processes and explains complicated architectures through experience and research. The authors include directions on how to use security services, including Kerberos and the Encrypting File System (EFS). Most of the coverage examines behind-the-interface operations, relying on flow diagrams and uncluttered conceptual drawings to illustrate processes like smart-card authentication and the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Question-and-answer sections at the end of each chapter are well-chosen; one example asks about using 128-bit encryption across an international network.
Called, the one book to read if you’re responsible for the security of your Win 2K network, the updated and expanded edition of this bestselling book will provide you with full mastery of the many new security features of Windows 2000 Server. It will show you how to get all of the required security features installed and configured as well as how to build a long-term security plan for your organization.
