{"product_id":"know-your-enemy-learning-about-security-threats-9780321166463","title":"Know Your Enemy: Learning about Security Threats","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The Honeynet guys have always been fighting the good fight: messing with the hackers heads  learning what theyre doing  collecting their tools and tricks  and sharing the knowledge with the rest of the good guys. Its one thing to sit around and try to guess what the hackers are up to  but the Honeynet Project just rolled up their sleeves and went on the offensive in their own unique way. Never before has being a victim been so cool! This book is a great resource for the serious information security professional and the beginning practitioner alike.\" --Marcus J. Ranum  Senior Scientist  TrueSecure Corp. \"The Honeynet Project is one of the best sources  if not the best source  for information about current techniques and trends in the blackhat community. They are also how-to experts in setting up and gathering information--safely--about these attackers. The Honeynet Projects ability and willingness to share cutting-edge information is an immeasurable benefit to the security community.\" --Jennifer Kolde  security consultant  author  and instructor \"Know Your Enemy contains an incredible wealth of information  including legal and sociological topics  that set it apart from other security books. The scope of this book is broad  and while no one book can teach people everything they need to know on such a topic  this one covers the subject better than any other source I know. Know Your Enemy will help security professionals with specific technical information  and it will help more general readers better understand a topic they need to learn about.\" --William Robinson  former security training program manager at Sun Microsystems  curriculum coordinator for Fire Protection Publications. \"This book will be an extremely useful tool in helping a network security administrator or professional assemble the technical tools needed to build  maintain  analyze  and learn from a honeynet within their organization. Each technical chapter goes into great detail on commands  log formats  configuration files  network design  etc. As a professional working with many of these technologies on a daily basis  it is exciting to see all of this information in one place. The knowledge and experience of the authors in working with and developing honeynets has grown noticeably since the first book was published. This is a very positive revision.\" --Sean Brown  IT Director  Applied Geographics  Inc. \"With the drastic increase in the number of attacks  it is important to have more people within the security industry studying attacks and attackers motives and sharing their results with the community. This book begins by teaching users whether they should install a honeypot  and then gives details and information about honeypots and how they can deploy them.\" --Kirby Kuehl  Cisco Systems \"Know Your Enemy reveals truths about the blackhat community and shows readers how to fight off attacks. The authors contribute their own experiences and offer the curious reader a rainbow of ideas.\" --Laurent Oudot  security engineer  CEA \"The Honeynet Project has been blazing a trail and providing a hard dose of reality that computer security needs. Get behind the fantasy and learn what the hackers are really doing. This is great cutting-edge stuff!\" --Marcus J. Ranum  senior scientist  TruSecure Corp. For centuries  military organizations have relied on scouts to gather intelligence about the enemy. In the field of information security  few scouts have ever existed. Very few organizations today know who their enemies are  how they might attack  when they might attack  and  perhaps most important  why they attack. If the blackhat community is the enemy  then the Honeynet Project is a most valuable ally.
