When an attacker breaks into your network, you have a home-field advantage. But how do you use it? Intrusion Detection Honeypots is the foundational guide to building, deploying, and monitoring honeypots -- security resources whose value lies in being probed and attacked. These fake systems, services, and tokens lure attackers in, enticing them to interact. Unbeknownst to the attacker, those interactions generate logs that alert you to their presence and educate you about their tradecraft. Intrusion Detection Honeypots teaches you how to: Use the See-Think-Do framework to integrate honeypots into your network and lure attackers into your traps. Leverage honey services that mimic HTTP, SSH, and RDP. Hide honey tokens amongst legitimate documents, files, and folders. Entice attackers to use fake credentials that give them away. Create honey commands, honey tables, honey broadcasts, and other unique detection tools that leverage deceptionMonitor honeypots for interaction and investigate the logs they generateWith the techniques in this book, you can safely use honeypots inside your network to detect adversaries before they accomplish their goals.

It s easy to capture packets with Wireshark, the world s most popular network sniffer, whether off the wire or from the air. But how do you use those packets to understand what s happening on your network? Updated to cover Wireshark 2.x, the third edition of Practical Packet Analysis will teach you to make sense of your packet captures so that you can better troubleshoot network problems. You ll find added coverage of IPv6 and SMTP, a new chapter on the powerful command line packet analyzers tcpdump and TShark, and an appendix on how to read and reference packet values using a packet map. Practical Packet Analysis will show you how to: Monitor your network in real time and tap live network communications Build customized capture and display filters Use packet analysis to troubleshoot and resolve common network problems, like loss of connectivity, DNS issues, and slow speeds Explore modern exploits and malware at the packet level Extract files sent across a network from packet captures Graph traffic patterns to visualize the data flowing across your network Use advanced Wireshark features to understand confusing captures Build statistics and reports to help you better explain technical network information to non-techies No matter what your level of experience is, Practical Packet Analysis will show you how to use Wireshark to make sense of any network and get things done.

Harry Williams has spent his life fighting foreign wars as a soldier of fortune. Having left behind the battlefields and conflict zones for a security job in suburban London, he has quickly tired of civilian life. So, when his boss offers him an opportunity to work on a private wildlife reservation set deep within the English countryside, Harry jumps at the chance. But the Fensterheim wildlife reserve isn't quite what it seems. Its deceased founder, Charles Fensterheim, a once eccentric and obsessive cryptozoologist, has left behind many secrets. During the first few days of his stay, Harry uncovers a secret reservation which lies deep within the estate's vast lakes and woods. It isn't long before the ex-mercenary finds himself fighting a new battle, a conflict where demons, Pagan Gods and exotic beasts run wild.

Amongst other measures that address the need to reduce CO2 emissions, that of having better insulated buildings requires more sophisticated methods such as numerical modelling to calculate the heat loss caused by thermal bridging at wall, roof and floor junctions and around openings. This guide gives the information needed by designers and numerical modellers to carry out these calculations, so that users of the same software package or users of different software packages can obtain consistent, reproducible results. For building regulation purposes two key modelling outputs, temperature factor and linear thermal transmittance, are identified. These key outputs will enable designers to confirm the adequacy of particular junction details and help with the development of novel solutions to improve the thermal performance of junctions. This second edition has been comprehensively updated and includes: - additional junction types with guidance on how they should be modelled- 7 new worked examples giving the determined values of linear thermal transmittance and temperature factors.

Applied Network Security Monitoring is the essential guide to becoming an NSM analyst from the ground up. This book takes a fundamental approach to NSM, complete with dozens of real-world examples that teach you the key concepts of NSM. Network security monitoring is based on the principle that prevention eventually fails. In the current threat landscape, no matter how much you try, motivated attackers will eventually find their way into your network. At that point, it is your ability to detect and respond to that intrusion that can be the difference between a small incident and a major disaster. The book follows the three stages of the NSM cycle: collection, detection, and analysis. As you progress through each section, you will have access to insights from seasoned NSM professionals while being introduced to relevant, practical scenarios complete with sample data. If you've never performed NSM analysis, Applied Network Security Monitoring will give you an adequate grasp on the core concepts needed to become an effective analyst. If you are already a practicing analyst, this book will allow you to grow your analytic technique to make you more effective at your job.
