| 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 indepth 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.
