TCP IP Professional Reference Guide

2009-03-03T01:17:00.002Z

Introduction
Most networking professionals will never have to write custom TCP/IP code, but they will have to understand the key issues associated with planning, operating, evolving, and troubleshooting IP networks. Gilbert Held's TCP/IP Professional Reference focuses on precisely these issues. Held, who's authored dozens of networking books over the years, maintains a reputation for clarity (witness the online reviews of his recent work, such as Voice and Data Internetworking). In this book, he presents concise, useful introductions to the entire TCP/IP protocol suite and each component protocol, including ICMP, TCP, UDP, and others. Held identifies the key issues associated with network addressing, subnetting, and routing; then introduces key TCP/IP applications such as DNS, and diagnostic tools such as ping, traceroute, NSLOOKUP, and finger. There's also to-the-point coverage of securing TCP/IP hosts via access lists and firewalls.

IP Addressing and Subnetting, Including IPv6

2009-02-21T16:53:00.003Z

Internetworking Protocol (IP) addresses are the unique numeric identifiers required of every device connected to the Internet. They allow for the precise routing of data across very complex worldwide internetworks. The rules for their format and use are governed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) of the The Internet SOCiety (ISOC). In response to the exponential increase in demand for new IP addresses, the IETF has finalized its revision on IP addressing as IP Version 6, also know as IPng (ng = Next Generation). Key hardware vendors such as Cisco and major Internet Service Providers such as America Online have already announced plans to migrate to IP Version 6.
IP address allocation within an organization requires a lot of long-term planning. This timely publication addresses the administrator and engineer's need to know how IP 6 impacts their enterprise networks

* Ideal for companies planning a phased migration from IP 4 to IP 6
* Timely publication: The IETF standard was finalized in early 1999 and will begin to be implemented in late 1999/2000. The current IP Version 4 address set will be exhausted by 2003
* The book will focus on planning and configuring networks and devices for IP 6. Specifically, it will cover how to:
* Increase the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits
* Support more levels of addressing hierarchy
* Support an increased number of addressable nodes
* Support simpler auto-configuration of addresses
* Improve the scalability of multicast routing by adding a "scope" field to multicast addresses
* Use a new "anycast address" to send a packet to any one of a group of nodes

Complete coverage of footprinting, trojans and backdoors, sniffers, viruses and worms, and hacking Novell and Linux exposes common vulnerabilities and reveals the tools and methods used by security professionals when implementing countermeasures.

If you are reading this courseware, it is quite possible that you realize the importance of information systems security. However, we would like to put forth our motive behind compiling a resource such as this one, and what you can gain from this course.

You might find yourself asking, why choose this course, when there are several out there. The truth is that there cannot be any single courseware that can address all the issues in a detailed manner. Moreover, the rate at which exploits/tools/methods are being discovered by the security community makes it difficult for anybody to cover it at one go.

This doesn’t mean that this course is inadequate in any way.

We have tried to cover all major domains in such a manner that the reader will be able to appreciate the way security has evolved over time; as well as gain insight into the fundamental workings relevant to each domain. It is a blend of academic and practical wisdom, supplemented with tools that the reader can readily access and obtain a hands-on experience. The emphasis is on gaining the know-how, and this explains the leaning towards free and accessible tools. You will read about some of the most widespread attacks seen; the popular tools used by attackers and how attacks have been carried out from ordinary resources.

You may also want to know “After this course, what?” This courseware is a resource material. Any penetration tester can tell you that there is no one straight methodology or sequence of steps that you can follow while auditing a client site. There is no ONE template that will meet all your needs. Your testing strategy will vary with client, basic information enumeration, firewall penetration or other domains, you will find something in this courseware that you can definitely use.

Finally, this is not the end! This courseware is to be considered as a ‘work-in-progress’, because we will be adding value to this courseware over time. You may find some aspects detailed, while others may find it brief. The yardstick that we have used in this respect is simple - “does the content help explain the point at hand?” This doesn’t mean that we would not love to hear from you regarding your viewpoints and suggestions. Do send us your feedback so that we can make this course a more useful one.

Essential Check Point FireWall-1 NG

2009-02-06T22:06:00.002Z

Essential Check Point FireWall-1 NG: An Installation, Configuration, and Troubleshooting Guide

Dameon Welch-Abernathy earned fame among administrators of FireWall-1 for his thorough and highly detailed Web site about Check Point’s flagship security product. The site should remain on those administrators’ hot lists, but they’ll want to absorb the copious knowledge in Welch-Abernathy’s Essential Check Point FireWall-1 before delving into his late-breaking online material. This book is fantastic. It’s by far the best book about FireWall-1, exceeding in quality even Check Point’s own manuals for administrators of its product. This is the book you need to have on hand as you learn to use what’s widely regarded as the best firewall software on the market. The author, known on his site as PhoneBoy, explains FireWall-1 with clarity, depth, and eminent practicality.

Welch-Abernathy’s presentation style is characterized by conciseness; practically every word and illustration he’s included advances his goal of explaining how to administer the software. Once in a while, he’ll go so far as to declare something self-explanatory and therefore not document it. This is risky–it’s hard to predict what a given reader will find intuitive–but he’s done this sparingly. The author’s coverage of virtual private networks (VPNs) is particularly praiseworthy. By following his lead, you’ll be able to bring up secure links among sites, and understand why the system works. Whether you’re reading cover-to-cover in order to learn as much as possible, or using the index to locate the problem-solving trick you need, this book ranks among the best. –David Wall

Topics covered: Check Point FireWall-1 for administrators, including those administrators with responsibility for designing and installing a firewall system. Rule design and implementation, logging, and authentication get attention, and coverage of network address translation (NAT) and virtual private networks (VPNs) is outstanding. There’s coverage of SecuRemote and Secure Client, too.

Book Info
Covers the essentials of Check Point FireWall-1. Each chapter discusses a major feature of the product or a specific topic that will help you to plan for your FireWall-1 installation. Softcover.

OSPF Anatomy of an Internet Routing Protocol

2009-01-30T00:50:00.003Z

Written for TCP/IP network administrators, protocol designers, and network application developers, this book gives the most complete and practical view ever into the inner workings of Internet routing. The book focuses on OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), a common TCP/IP routing protocol that provides robust and efficient routing support in the most demanding Internet environments. A methodical and detailed description of the protocol is offered and OSPF's role within the wider context of a TCP/IP network is demonstrated.

Practical throughout, the book provides not only a theoretical description of Internet routing, but also a real-world look into how theory translates into practice. It shows how algorithms are implemented, and how the routing protocols function in a working network where transmission lines and routers routinely break down.

You will find clear explanations of such routing fundamentals as how a router forwards packets, IP addressing, CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing), the routing table, Internet routing architecture, and the two main routing technologies: Distance Vector and link-state algorithms. OSPF is discussed in depth, with an examination of the rationale behind OSPF's design decisions and how it has evolved to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet environment. OSPF topics covered by the book include the following: OSPF areas and virtual links NBMA (Nonbroadcast multi-access) and Point-to-MultiPoint network segments OSPF configuration and management Interaction with other routing protocols OSPF cryptographic authentication OSPF protocol extensions, including the Demand Circuit extensions and the multicast extensions to OSPF (MOSPF) An OSPF FAQ

IP multicast and multicast routing are also discussed. Methods for debugging routing problems are explained, including a catalog of available debugging tools. The book also offers side-by-side comparisons of all the unicast and multicast routing protocols currently in use in the Internet.

You will come away from this book with a sophisticated understanding of Internet routing and of the OSPF protocol in particular. Moreover, the book's practical focus will enable you to put this deeper understanding to work in your network environment.

Quality of service (QoS) is the set of techniques designed to manage network resources. QoS refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various LAN and WAN technologies. The primary goal of QoS is to provide flow priority, including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some interactive and delay-sensitive traffic), and improved loss characteristics.

While QoS has become an essential technology for those organizations rolling out a new generation of network applications such as real-time voice communications and high-quality video delivery, most of the literature available on this foundation technology for current and future business applications focuses on IP QoS. Equally important is the application of QoS in the campus LAN environment, which is primarily responsible for delivering traffic to the desktop.
