DESCRIPTION:
It covers social engineering techniques, footprinting techniques, and scanning tools. Examining computer security from the hacker's perspective, Practical Hacking Techniques and Countermeasures employs virtual computers to illustrate how an attack is executed, including the script, compilation, and results. It offers valuable information for constructing a system to defend against attacks and provides a better understanding of securing your own computer or corporate network.. It provides detailed screen shots in each lab for the reader to follow along in a step-by-step process in order to duplicate and understand how the attack works. This book shows how an attack is conceptualized, formulated, and performed. Later chapters examine spoofing techniques, sniffing techniques, password cracking, and attack tools. It enables experimenting with hacking techniques without fear of corrupting computers or violating any laws.Written in a lab manual style, the book begins with the installation of the VMware® Workstation product and guides the users through detailed hacking labs enabling them to experience what a hacker actually does during an attack. Identifying wireless attacks, the book also explores Trojans, Man-in-the-Middle (MTM) attacks, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.Learn how to secure your computers with this comprehensive guide on hacking techniques and countermeasures By understanding how an attack occurs the reader can better understand how to de

All the Computer Security books I have read and seen teachtheory and this one does that and then he shows you the proof in the puddingas he walks you through his Virtual Labs.. BJKTURK said Instructor Review. If you have dealt in the theory of Information Security and also would like to do some thing practical, this is one of the books that you should have. Since the practical tools, and their location on the web are continuously changing, the book should have a web site, where updates should be followed regularly. There is a web page for errors and/or changes . But that is not the point I would like to make, a live dynamic page for supporting the book. I have recom
