Joachim Biskup, "Security in Computing Systems: Challenges, Approaches and Solutions"
Springer | 2008 | ISBN: 354078442X, 3540784411 | 694 pages | PDF | 4,7 MB

With Security in Computing Systems, Joachim Biskup introduces, surveys and assesses the fundamentals of security with respect to all activities that individuals or groups directly or indirectly perform by means of computers and computer networks.

He has organized his comprehensive overview on multilateral security into four cross-referencing parts: challenges and basic approaches; fundamentals of information flow and inference control; security mechanisms with an emphasis on control and monitoring on the one hand and on cryptography on the other; and implementations. Besides presenting informal surveys and introductions to these topics, the book carefully elaborates the fundamental ideas by at least partially explaining the required precise formalizations and outlining the achieved mathematical verifications. Moreover, the need to employ the various security enforcement methods in a well-coordinated way is emphasized and thoroughly exemplified, and this includes case studies on UNIX, Oracle/SQL, CORBA, Kerberos, SPKI/SDSI and PGP.


Overall, this monograph provides a broad and comprehensive description of computer security threats and countermeasures, ideal for graduate students or researchers in academia and industry who require an introduction to the state of the art in this field. In addition, it can be used as the basis for graduate courses on security issues in computing.

Sharma Chakravarthy, Qingchun Jiang "Stream Data Processing: A Quality of Service Perspective: Modeling, Scheduling, Load Shedding, and Complex Event Processing (Advances in Database Systems)"
Springer | 2009-04-24 | ISBN: 0387710027 | 324 pages | PDF | 8,8 MB

Traditional database management systems, widely used today, are not well-suited for a class of emerging applications, such as computer network management, homeland security, sensor computing, and environmental monitoring. These applications need to continuously process large amounts of data coming in the form of a stream, and meet stringent response time requirements. Support for handling QoS metrics, such as response time, memory usage, and throughput, is central to any system proposed for the above applications.

Stream Data Processing: A Quality of Service Perspective (Modeling, Scheduling, Load Shedding, and Complex Event Processing), presents a new paradigm suitable for stream and complex event processing. This book covers a broad range of topics in stream data processing and includes detailed technical discussions of a number of proposed techniques.

This volume is intended as a textbook for graduate courses and as a reference book for researchers, advanced-level students in CS, and IT practitioners.

As a conscientious system administrator, network administrator, or security professional, you've no doubt been frustrated by the lack of good usable information about the latest, and most deadly internet attack, botnets. From diagrams to help you explain botnets to management, to working code to help you detect and respond to them, Botnets: Killer Web App has it all. Botnets are being hired to take out the competition, via DDOS attacks, in Clicks4Hire schemes to defraud Internet Advertising sites, in launching targeted Spam and phishing attacks. They use trojan horse software with remote control capabilities, stealth features that kill A/V software. The Command and Control servers use Fast Flux domains, sites that rapidly change their domain name or even IP addresses, to play an Internet version of the shell game. They steal identity and financial account information from infected hosts. They can be used to store prohibited materials, like child pornography, on your Mom or Dad's computer rather than on one that might lead to the actual pedophile's conviction. Botnets: Killer Web App, answers your questions about this new technology threat. What are they? How do they spread? How do they work? How can I detect them when they don't want to be seen? What tools are available to fight this menace? What kind of help is there across the Internet and within Law Enforcement? Botnets: Killer Web App, covers all this and more.

Publisher: Бук-пресс,Москва 2006 | ISBN: n/a | PDF | 2,45 MB

*Антиспам без секретов.
Практические рекомендации по борьбе с нелегальной рассылкой по электронной почте. В последнее время стали учащаться случаи жалоб пользователей Сети Интернет на то, что в их адрес приходит все больше и больше непрошеной корреспонденции рекламного характера. Такие письма называются в Сети спамом. Зачастую пользователи просто не обращают внимания на сетевую рекламу, удаляя такие сообщения из своих почтовых ящиков. На самом деле пагубность таких рассылок заключается в том, что большое количество рекламной корреспонденции может привести к излишней нагрузке на каналы и почтовые серверы провайдера, из-за чего обычная почта, которую, возможно, очень ждут получатели, будет проходить значительно медленнее. Книга расскажет обо всех видах спама, его целях, а также поможет избавиться от ненужных посланий по электронной почте.
*Руководство для хакеров.
Вы когда-нибудь задавались вопросом, как этому «чертовому» хакеру удается вновь и вновь появляться в системе, несмотря на то, что вы, казалось бы, полностью закрыли для него доступ? Если вы хотите заниматься хакингом в будущем, это руководство окажет вам неоценимую помощь. Также оно будет полезно и администраторам, так как даже в 2000 году существует великое множество способов нелегально проникнуть в UNIX, Windows 2000 и, конечно же, в Windows 98, равно как и в любую другую систему. Ни в коем случае не рассматривайте эту книгу как всеобъемлющий труд, отвечающий на все жизненные ситуации.
*Хакинг с самого начала: Методы и секреты.
С помощью этой книги Вы поймете как стать начинающим хакером. Хакинг с самого начала.
*Как стать хакером.
Интеллектуальное руководство по хакингу и фрикингу. Хакинг — это искусство взлома всевозможных систем и доведения данного процесса до высот технического изящества. После 2000 года понятие «хакер» окончательно изменилось. Это связано с появлением «хакеров вандалов». Нет, не хакеров, в изначальном понимании этого слова, но называющими себя имен но так, а так называемых взломщиков — крэкеров.

Product Description:

If you are using the Internet to conduct professional or personal business, you want to know your Internet connection is secure. This book gives you all the information and tools you need to keep the hackers out and the mission-critical information in. It takes you through planning, implementing, and administering a secure Internet connection--from understanding UUCP and auditing to encryption and firewalls to understanding viruses. A comprehensive resource for security and network professionals alike, this book will show you how to use and implement the latest technologies in the most secure fashion, including Java, CGI, and Windows NT.


Amazon.com Review:

This is a big book--more than 850 pages. And the type is small, too. It has precisely what's needed to pack a comprehensive resource on Internet security into a single volume. The authors don't waste space on philosophizing or lecturing about security--they simply lay out what a site manager needs to know, beginning with the basics of TCP/IP. The book presents a five-part approach. Part one deals with security management, including TCP/IP, daemons, UUCP, and audit trails. Part two switches perspectives to that of the intruder, showing ways of gaining illicit accesses and how attempts to do so can be thwarted. Part three examines the challenges of creating secure channels for messaging. Part four shows how to deal with security concerns raised by Windows NT, Java, and various viruses. Part five contains the appendices, offering an array of security references and resources where site managers can find further and updated information. While the need to cram such a vast storehouse of information into the books rarely allows for a relaxed style of exposition, the authors have done a fine job of keeping explanations clear and useful to even novice site managers.



Summary: Good. Does not provide a "how to" way to protect a Business.
Rating: 4

This book provides very good advice on how security works, and some way hackers had invaded systems.

Includes, Java, CGI, SATAN, Kerberos but lacks an step by step advice to protect networks. The book is all about Unix...


Summary: Excellent books for make penetration testing...

With more than 67% of web servers running Apache, it is by far the most widely used web server platform in the world. Apache has evolved into a powerful system that easily rivals other HTTP servers in terms of functionality, efficiency, and speed. Despite these impressive capabilities, though, Apache is only a beneficial tool if it's a secure one. To be sure, administrators installing and configuring Apache still need a sure-fire way to secure it--whether it's running a huge e-commerce operation, corporate intranet, or just a small hobby site.

How to solve security issues and problems arising in distributed systems.

Security is one of the leading concerns in developing dependable distributed systems of today, since the integration of different components in a distributed manner creates new security problems and issues. Service oriented architectures, the Web, grid computing and virtualization – form the backbone of today’s distributed systems. A lens to security issues in distributed systems is best provided via deeper exploration of security concerns and solutions in these technologies.

Distributed Systems Security provides a holistic insight into current security issues, processes, and solutions, and maps out future directions in the context of today’s distributed systems. This insight is elucidated by modeling of modern day distributed systems using a four-tier logical model –host layer, infrastructure layer, application layer, and service layer (bottom to top). The authors provide an in-depth coverage of security threats and issues across these tiers. Additionally the authors describe the approaches required for efficient security engineering, alongside exploring how existing solutions can be leveraged or enhanced to proactively meet the dynamic needs of security for the next-generation distributed systems. The practical issues thereof are reinforced via practical case studies.

Distributed Systems Security:

* Presents an overview of distributed systems security issues, including threats, trends, standards and solutions.
* Discusses threats and vulnerabilities in different layers namely the host, infrastructure, application, and service layer to provide a holistic and practical, contemporary view of enterprise architectures.
* Provides practical insights into developing current-day distributed systems security using realistic case studies.

This book will be of invaluable interest to software engineers, developers, network professionals and technical/enterprise architects working in the field of distributed systems security. Managers and CIOs, researchers and advanced students will also find this book insightful.

Gavin Mills - Identity Theft: Everything You Need to Know to Protect Yourself
Summersdale Publishers | 2007 | ISBN: 1840245778 | Pages: 128 | PDF | 2.82 MB

Identity theft is a horrifying and traumatic experience. It’s easy to imagine the frustration at being wrongly denied a credit card or loan. Worse are the sleepless nights after threatening phone calls from creditors anxious to retrieve cash loaned in your name.

It can also be much more serious. Identity theft is linked to organised crime in illegal immigration and human trafficking, drug couriers and money laundering – for these criminals, identity theft is a way of avoiding detection. Home Office figures estimate that identity fraud costs the UK economy £1.72 billion pounds a year. It is a growth industry that affects everyone.

If you have never been the victim of identity theft, count yourself lucky. But luck is not enough. This book is essential reading for everyone, as we are all potential victims. Learn how to protect yourself against it, how to spot the warning signs and what to do if you think someone may have stolen your identity.

Marcel Zehner, "Windows Vista Security"
Hancer Verlag | 2007 | ISBN: 3446413561 | 304 pages | PDF | 15,7 MB

Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der Sicherheit von Windows Vista in professionellen Umgebungen bzw. Firmenumgebungen und wendet sich an Administratoren von Windows-Systemen und -Netzwerken. Features, die primär für private Anwender von Interesse sind, werden nicht alle behandelt.

Marcel Zehner beschreibt, welche Sicherheitsfeatures Windows Vista bietet und welche Angriffe damit abgewehrt werden können. Er zeigt, wie die einzelnen Features korrekt konfiguriert werden und welche Auswirkungen diese Einstellungen haben. Für viele Einstellungen werden Empfehlungen abgegeben, so dass der Benutzer über einen roten Faden für die Sicherheitskonfiguration des neuen Client-Betriebssystems verfügt.

Sicherheit ist ein aktuelles und verbreitetes Thema. Viele Administratoren "kämpfen" damit, ihre Netzwerke sicher oder sicherer zu machen. Mit diesem Buch wird ihnen einiges abgenommen: Sie verfügen damit nicht nur über ein zentrales Nachschlagewerk für (fast) alle Sicherheitsfeatures, sondern erhalten Konfigurationsvorschläge für die verschiedenen Best Practices. Dadurch entsteht eine massive Zeitersparnis, denn die Suche nach Informationen zu Security unter Windows Vista Thema ist schier endlos. Die Suche nach der korrekten Einstellung ebenfalls.

Hacking the Human: Ian Mann

Hacking the Human: Ian Mann
Gower | ISBN: 0566087731 | 2008-11-01 | PDF (OCR) | 266 pages | 1.55 Mb

Information security is about people, yet in most organizations protection remains focused on technical countermeasures. The human element is crucial in the majority of successful attacks on systems and attackers are rarely required to find technical vulnerabilities, hacking the human is usually sufficient.Ian Mann turns the black art of social engineering into an information security risk that can be understood, measured and managed effectively. The text highlights the main sources of risk from social engineering and draws on psychological models to explain the basis for human vulnerabilities. Chapters on vulnerability mapping, developing a range of protection systems and awareness training provide a practical and authoritative guide to the risks and countermeasures that are available.There is a singular lack of useful information for security and IT professionals regarding the human vulnerabilities that social engineering attacks tend to exploit. Ian Mann provides a rich mix of examples, applied research and practical solutions that will enable you to assess the level of risk in your organization; measure the strength of your current security and enhance your training and systemic countermeasures accordingly. If you are responsible for physical or information security or the protection of your business and employees from significant risk, then "Hacking the Human" is a must-read.

Review:
As a researcher of the topic, I was glad to find Mann's book on social engineering. It makes a significant contribution to the body of knowledge on the social issues of information security. This is the second book that has been truly devoted to social engineering, the first one being Kevin Mitnick's Art of Deception. Mann takes the issue further with his methodical and systematic approach.

This book has great value, as it frequently refers to standards such as ISO 27001, providing high industry relevance. The book provides a clear view to the topic with sublime clarity, explaining underlying psychological weaknesses exploited by the attackers. Hacking the Human covers all related topics on the issue, from explaining why social engineering has not received the attention it deserves to why your company is at risk, and more importantly, what you can do about it.

As we learned from Mitnick, people are the weakest link in the chain of information security. With Mann's Hacking the Human, you can make it the strongest one, the first line of defense. I gladly recommend this book to everyone interested in the topic.

Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice

Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science): Cheng-Zhong Xu, Francis C.M. Lau
Springer | ISBN: 079239819X | 1996-11-30 | PDF (OCR) | 232 pages | 8.75 Mb

Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice is about the essential software technique of load balancing in distributed memory message-passing parallel computers, also called multicomputers. Each processor has its own address space and has to communicate with other processors by message passing. In general, a direct, point-to-point interconnection network is used for the communications. Many commercial parallel computers are of this class, including the Intel Paragon, the Thinking Machine CM-5, and the IBM SP2. Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice presents a comprehensive treatment of the subject using rigorous mathematical analyses and practical implementations. The focus is on nearest-neighbor load balancing methods in which every processor at every step is restricted to balancing its workload with its direct neighbours only. Nearest-neighbor methods are iterative in nature because a global balanced state can be reached through processors' successive local operations. Since nearest-neighbor methods have a relatively relaxed requirement for the spread of local load information across the system, they are flexible in terms of allowing one to control the balancing quality, effective for preserving communication locality, and can be easily scaled in parallel computers with a direct communication network. Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice serves as an excellent reference source and may be used as a text for advanced courses on the subject.

Springer | 2008 | ISBN: 0387884904 | 362 pages | PDF | 7,1 MB

Securing Emerging Wireless Systems: Lower-layer Approaches aims to fill a growing need in the research community for a reference that describes the lower-layer approaches as a foundation towards secure and reliable wireless systems. Whereas most of the references typically address cryptographic attacks by using conventional "network security" approches for securing wireless systems, the proposed book will be differentiated from the rest of the market by its focus on non-cryptographic attacks that cannot easily be addressed by using traditional methods, and further by presenting a collection of defense mechanisms that operate at the lower-layers of the protocol stack and can defend wireless systems before the effects of attacks propagate up to higher-level applications and services.

The book will focus on fundamental security problems that involve properties unique to wireless systems, such as the characteristics of radio propagation, or the location of communicating entities, or the properties of the medium access control layer. Specifically, the book provides detection mechanisms and highlights defense strategies that cope with threats to wireless localization infrastructure, attacks on wireless networks that exploit entity identity (i.e. spoofing attacks), jamming and radio interference that can undermine the availability of wireless communications, and privacy threats where an adversary seeks to infer spatial and temporal contextual information surrounding wireless communications. Additionally, the authors explore new paradigms of physical layer security for wireless systems, which can support authentication and confidentiality services by exploiting fading properties unique to wireless communications.

Foundations of Security: What Every Programmer Needs to Know teaches new and current software professionals state-of-the-art software security design principles, methodology, and concrete programming techniques they need to build secure software systems. Once you're enabled with the techniques covered in this book, you can start to alleviate some of the inherent vulnerabilities that make today's software so susceptible to attack. The book uses web servers and web applications as running examples throughout the book.

For the past few years, the Internet has had a "wild, wild west" flavor to it. Credit card numbers are stolen in massive numbers. Commercial web sites have been shut down by Internet worms. Poor privacy practices come to light and cause great embarrassment to the corporations behind them. All these security-related issues contribute at least to a lack of trust and loss of goodwill. Often there is a monetary cost as well, as companies scramble to clean up the mess when they get spotlighted by poor security practices.

Securing wireless LAN's

Securing wireless LAN's
Wiley | ISBN: 0470851279 | 275 pages | 2.7 MB | PDF

Wireless LANs are becoming ubiquitous. From hotel lobbies to Starbucks coffee shops, to airports and offices, it is difficult not to be able to pick up a wireless LAN signal. Accompanying the growth in the use of wireless LANs is a recognition that as initially designed they are not secure.
The focus of this book is upon wireless LAN security. In this book we will examine how wireless LANs operate, with special attention focused upon the manner in which security occurs under the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard and its extensions, and why the standard and its extensions are weak. We will use this information to note many vulnerabilities associated with the use of wireless LANs and the security risks that can occur via an over-the-air
transmission method. Because network managers and LAN administrators, as well as small business and home users of wireless LANs, need to know how to overcome the security limitations of wireless LANs, several chapters in this book are devoted to security enhancement techniques. One chapter is focused upon vendor-specific solutions, while a second chapter examines the use of existing and evolving standards that can be employed to literally harden your wireless LAN.

Computer Viruses: from theory to applications (Collection IRIS)

Computer Viruses: from theory to applications (Collection IRIS)
9782287239397 | (2287239391) | Springer | 2005 | 3 MB | RS | FF

This book deals with computer viruses envisaged from three different points of view, namely the theoretical fundamentals of computer virology, algorithmic and practical aspects of viruses and their potential applications to various areas. The theoretical formalization by means of Turing machines, self-reproducing automata and recursive functions enable a precise and exhaustive description of the different types of malware. It follows that the main stakes of computer defense and antiviral fighting are easily highlighted. Detailed analysis of the source code for representative members of each virus/worm family allows the reader to grasp the basic algorithmic aspects involved in self-reproducing codes. The C programming language has been systematically used for a better understanding of the considered codes.

The purpose of this book is to propose a teaching approach to understand what computer viruses1 really are and how they work. To do this, three aspects are covered ranging from theoretical fundamentals, to practical applications and technical features; fully detailed, commented source codes of viruses as well as inherent applications are proposed. So far, the applications-oriented aspects have hardly ever been addressed through the scarce existing literature devoted to computer viruses.

The obvious question that may come to the reader’s mind is: why did the author write on a topic which is likely to offend some people? The motivation is definitely not provocation; the original reason for writing this book comes from the following facts. For roughly a decade, it turns out that antiviral defense finds it more and more difficult to organize and quickly respond to viral attacks which took place during the last four years (remember the programs caused by the release of worms, such as Sapphire, Blaster or Sobig, for example). There is a growing feeling among users – and not to say among the general public – that worldwide attacks give antivirus developers too short a notice. Current viruses are capable of spreading substantially faster than antivirus companies can respond.

As a consequence, we can no longer afford to rely solely on antivirus programs to protect against viruses and the knowledge in the virus field is wholly in the hands of the antiviral community which is totally reluctant to share it. Moreover, the problems associated with antiviral defense are complex by nature, and technical books dedicated to viruses are scarce, which does not make the job easy for people interested in this ever changing field.
