Security Monitoring: Proven Methods for Incident Detection on Enterprise Networks

Chris Fry, Martin Nystrom, “Security Monitoring: Proven Methods for Incident Detection on Enterprise Networks”
O'Reilly Media, Inc. | 2009-02-24 | ISBN: 0596518161 | 246 pages | CHM | 5,75 MB

How well does your enterprise stand up against today's sophisticated security threats? With this book, security experts from Cisco Systems demonstrate how you can detect damaging security incidents on your global network -first by discovering which assets you need to monitor closely, then by helping you develop targeted strategies and pragmatic techniques to identify security incidents.

Security Monitoring offers six steps to improve network monitoring, based on the authors' years of experience conducting incident response to keep Cisco's global network secure. These steps will guide you through the following:
Develop Policies: define the rules, regulations, and criteria against which to monitor
Know Your Network: build knowledge of your infrastructure with network telemetry
Select Your Targets: define the subset of infrastructure where you'll focus monitoring
Choose Event Sources: identify the event types needed to discover policy violations
Feed and Tune: collect data and generate alerts, tuning systems using context
Maintain Dependable Event Sources: prevent critical gaps in your event collection and monitoring

To help you understand this framework, Security Monitoring illustrates its recommendations using a fictional mobile telephony provider. Each chapter's approach and techniques are overlaid against this fictional example with diagrams and detailed examples. These recommendations will help you select and deploy the best techniques for monitoring your own enterprise network.

The Masters of Deception: The Gang That Ruled Cyberspace

Michele Slatalla, "The Masters of Deception: The Gang That Ruled Cyberspace"
Harper Perennial | 1996-01-10 | ISBN: 0060926945 | 240 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

The bestselling account of a band of kids from New York who fought an electronic turf war that ranged across some of the nation's most powerful computer systems. "An immensely fun and -- one cannot emphasize this enough -- accessible history of the first outlaws in cyberspace."--Glamour

On January 15, 1990, the AT&T long-distance phone network crashed. Although it was eventually ruled an accident, the event was a wake-up call to telephone companies and law enforcement agencies everywhere, exposing the fragility of the systems that we all heavily depend on. The feds decided that the time had come to crack down on the handful of computer hackers they had been monitoring for several years in connection with the phone companies. The term "hacker" is about to become a household word, and not in the sense of "great programming."

Set against this backdrop, two rival gangs--The Legion of Doom and The Masters of Deception--are about to go to war. What sounds like a clash of comic-book supervillains is actually a feud between factions of teenagers, fueled by misunderstandings and adolescent testosterone. The events leading up to the conflict and its climax are riveting and fun. The book features great depictions of some of the earliest celebrities of hackerdom, including Acid Phreak and Phiber Optik, as well as tales of their exploits and rivalries. Slatalla and Quittner do a great job of portraying the principals as both the powerful cyberspace masters they want to be and the scared, emotional young men they really are.

There is also a nostalgic attraction at work in Masters of Deception. Anyone who remembers their first Commie 64 or TRS-80 will long for those golden days and be thankful that they were elsewhere when the Secret Service came calling.

GFI Network Security and PCI Compliance Power Tools

Brien Posey, "GFI Network Security and PCI Compliance Power Tools"
Syngress | 2008-09-22 | ISBN: 159749285X | 466 pages | PDF | 15,5 MB

For system administrators and IT security professionals to properly secure their networks, it is imperative that they utilize tools which constantly scan their networks and report back suspicious activity and/or the presence of known security vulnerabilities. These tasks are also key components for companies who must achieve Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) compliance. GFI Network Security is a market leader in this security scanning, reporting, and federal compliance space. Their products are deployed on over 200,000 networks worldwide and they have over 10,000 worldwide re-sellers. The GFI customer base is also extremely active and tightly-knit. Their forums have over 14,000 registered users and there are currently 18,200 topics under discussion. These are good indicators of both the size of the market and users' need to gain more information on GFI products. This book is the first reference for these system administrators and security professionals specifically covering GFI's products. The book is being developed with support of the GFI Engineering team.
GFI LANGuard Network Security Scanner (NSS) combines vulnerability scanning and patch management functions into one, powerful tool set. By analyzing the operating system and the applications running on a network, GFI LANguard NSS identifies potential security issues. It then alerts system administrators and security professionals to weaknesses before a hacker can find them. This allows the IT staff to close any holes before they are exploited. The GFI PCI Suite is a package comprising the core software required for companies to achieve Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) compliance. This suite is a component of GFI LANGuard Network Security Scanner (NSS). The GFI PCI Suite also features enhanced reporting functionality with reports created specifically to help organizations become compliant.
GFI products have received introductory coverage in dozens of IT books for system administrators and security professionals. But, these tools have never received the in-depth, substantive coverage required to truly master them. While our book will have a certain amount of introductory material, it will be primarily written for intermediate to advanced users who must push these tools to the limits to do their jobs. Readers of this book have already scoured the user forums and smattering of coverage in other books. Now, they'll finally have the comprehensive reference they need.

Mechanics of User Identification and Authentication: Fundamentals of Identity Management

Dobromir Todorov, "Mechanics of User Identification and Authentication: Fundamentals of Identity Management "
Auerbach Publications; 1 edition | 2007-06-18 | ISBN: 1420052195 | 760 pages | PDF | 12,7 MB

User identification and authentication are essential parts of information security. Users must authenticate as they access their computer systems at work or at home every day. Yet do users understand how and why they are actually being authenticated, the security level of the authentication mechanism that they are using, and the potential impacts of selecting one authentication mechanism or another? Introducing key concepts, Mechanics of User Identification and Authentication: Fundamentals of Identity Management outlines the process of controlled access to resources through authentication, authorization, and accounting in an in-depth, yet accessible manner. It examines today's security landscape and the specific threats to user authentication. The book then outlines the process of controlled access to resources and discusses the types of user credentials that can be presented as proof of identity prior to accessing a computer system. It also contains an overview on cryptography that includes the essential approaches and terms required for understanding how user authentication works. This book provides specific information on the user authentication process for both UNIX and Windows. Addressing more advanced applications and services, the author presents common security models such as GSSAPI and discusses authentication architecture. Each method is illustrated with a specific authentication scenario.

The Dark Side of the Internet: Protecting Yourself and Your Family from Online Criminals

Paul Bocij, "The Dark Side of the Internet: Protecting Yourself and Your Family from Online Criminals"
Praeger Publishers | 2006-10-30 | ISBN: 027598575X | 272 pages | PDF | 2 MB

In less than a decade, personal computers have become part of our daily lives. Many of us come into contact with computers every day, whether at work, school or home. As useful as the new technologies are, they also have a darker side. By making computers part of our daily lives, we run the risk of allowing thieves, swindlers, and all kinds of deviants directly into our homes. Armed with a personal computer, a modem and just a little knowledge, a thief can easily access confidential information, such as details of bank accounts and credit cards. This book is intended to help people avoid harm at the hands of Internet criminals. It offers a tour of the more dangerous parts of the Internet, as the author explains who the predators are, their motivations, how they operate and how to protect against them. Behind the doors of our own homes, we assume we are safe from predators, con artists, and other criminals wishing us harm. But the proliferation of personal computers and the growth of the Internet have invited these unsavory types right into our family rooms. With a little psychological knowledge a con man can start to manipulate us in different ways. A terrorist can recruit new members and raise money over the Internet. Identity thieves can gather personal information and exploit it for criminal purposes. Spammers can wreak havoc on businesses and individuals. Here, an expert helps readers recognize the signs of a would-be criminal in their midst. Focusing on the perpetrators, the author provides information about how they operate, why they do it, what they hope to do, and how to protect yourself from becoming a victim.

Wiley-Interscience | 2007 | ISBN: 0471947830 | 544 pages | PDF | 8,4 MB

This book updates readers with all the tools, techniques, and concepts needed to understand and implement data security systems. It presents a wide range of topics for a thorough understanding of the factors that affect the efficiency of secrecy, authentication, and digital signature schema. Most importantly, readers gain hands-on experience in cryptanalysis and learn how to create effective cryptographic systems.
The author contributed to the design and analysis of the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a widely used symmetric-key encryption algorithm. His recommendations are based on firsthand experience of what does and does not work.
Thorough in its coverage, the book starts with a discussion of the history of cryptography, including a description of the basic encryption systems and many of the cipher systems used in the twentieth century. The author then discusses the theory of symmetric- and public-key cryptography. Readers not only discover what cryptography can do to protect sensitive data, but also learn the practical limitations of the technology. The book ends with two chapters that explore a wide range of cryptography applications.
Three basic types of chapters are featured to facilitate learning:
* Chapters that develop technical skills
* Chapters that describe a cryptosystem and present a method of analysis
* Chapters that describe a cryptosystem, present a method of analysis, and provide problems to test your grasp of the material and your ability to implement practical solutions
With consumers becoming increasingly wary of identity theft and companies struggling to develop safe, secure systems, this book is essential reading for professionals in e-commerce and information technology. Written by a professor who teaches cryptography, it is also ideal for students.

Water Supply in Emergency Situations

Water is essential for life and the trigger for this book is in the increasing threats to uninterrupted, good quality water to large concentrations of population, which include natural and manmade, the latter including accidental and, unfortunately, also intentional. Israel in particular is aware of the risks of terror, including to its water supply and it is not surprising that the initiative for a NATO workshop, the outcome of which is presented here, came from this country.

This book reflects the outcome of a three day NATO Advanced Workshop entitled 'Supply of Water to Cities in Emergency Situations' organized by ICTAF at Tel-Aviv University and The University of Thessaly, Department of Planning and Regional Development and sponsored by the NATO Security through Science programme. Some 35 experts from 14 countries from Europe, the Middle East and Asia assembled in Tel-Aviv for this event.

The 20 papers presented and the discussions which took place throughout the workshop illuminate a broad spectrum of problems and of concerns to the orderly water supply in the different participating countries ranging from floods, through contamination due to deteriorated infrastructure and to a surprisingly low concern related to intentional terror-related threats. We find insufficient preparedness in many countries to cope with severe disruption of water supply.

We expect publicity and discussion to raise the level of awareness of relevant decision makers worldwide to this essential issue and to encourage development and implementation of procedures and means for combating the threat.

From Preface
This report presents the findings of research into the involvement of
organized crime and terrorist groups in counterfeiting a wide range
of products, from watches to automobile parts, from pharmaceuticals
to computer software. It presents detailed case studies from around
the globe in one area of counterfeiting, film piracy, to illustrate the
broader problem of criminal—and perhaps terrorist—groups finding a
new and not-much-discussed way of funding their nefarious activities.
Although there is less evidence of involvement by terrorists, piracy is
high in payoff and low in risk for both groups, often taking place under
the radar of law enforcement....

Parallel Computing Technologies: Proceedings of the International Conference, Novosibirsk, Ussr, 7-11 September 1991

We are currently entering ah era of developed parallelism. Parallelism provides the high performance needed in science and engineering, the responsiveness required in real-time control, the fault-tolerance necessary for high reliability systems, etc. These capabilities become available for use in an increasing number of applications but offer new challenges to the system designer and programmer.

The advanced research in parallel computing technologies as well as the development of high industrial quality products are now especially important for the USSR trying to do perestroika's steps to be tightly integrated with the world community. We believe that increasing research contacts and scientific cooperation is one of the first steps to take. So, in spite of the considerable number of international conferences and workshops on parallel systems, we decided to establish a Soviet series on parallel computing technologies (the PaCT series). As a result you have in your hands the proceedings of the PaCT-91 Conference, which is organized by the Computing Centre of the Siberian Division of the USSR Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Soviet Parallel Computing Association, and held in Novosibirsk in September 1991. This is the first time such a big international conference on parallel computing technologies is taking place in the USSR. The aim of the conference is to give an overview of new developments, applications and trends in the field of parallelism.

Biomimetic Robotics: Mechanisms and Control

Ranjan Vepa "Biomimetic Robotics: Mechanisms and Control"
Cambridge University Press | English | 2009-01-26 | ISBN: 0521895944 | 360 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB

This book is written as an initial course in robotics. It is ideal for study of unmanned aerial or underwater vehicles, a topic on which few books exist. It presents the fundamentals of robotics, from an aerospace perspective, by considering only the field of robot mechanisms. For an aerospace engineer, three dimensional and parallel mechanisms - flight simulation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and space robotics - take on an added significance. Biomimetic robot mechanisms are fundamental to manipulators, walking, mobile, and flying robots. As a distinguishing feature, this book gives a unified and integrated treatment of biomimetic robot mechanisms. It is ideal preparation for the next robotics module: practical robot control design. While the book focuses on principles, computational procedures are also given due importance. Students are encouraged to use computational tools to solve the examples in the exercises. The author has also included some additional topics beyond his course coverage for the enthusiastic reader to explore.
