Subtitled "Know Your Network", the idea behind this book, now in its third edition, is to show you how to assess network security by attacking it yourself. Author Chris McNab shows you the tools and techniques that professional security analysts use to identify and assess risks in government, military, and commercial networks.
<ASIN:149191095X>
Using the techniques in the book, you can work to create environments that are hardened and more immune from unauthorized use and attack. McNab demonstrates how determined adversaries map attack surface and exploit security weaknesses at both the network and application level.
The third edition has been completely overhauled to include details of the latest hacking techniques used to attack enterprise networks.
