 ISBN: 0-471-74754-8 Paperback 385 pages September 2005  This concise, high-end guide shows experienced administrators how to customize and extend popular open source security tools such as Nikto, Ettercap, and Nessus. It also addresses port scanners, packet injectors, network sniffers, and web assessment tools. Network Security Tools is the one resource you want at your side when locking down your network.  The Apache Web server is one of the most fascinating success stories in the Internet software business. This open-source product has arguably become the most used Web server on the Net. Apache Server Unleashed offers traditional documentation of this unconventional product. A key aspect of Apache is its modularity. Webmasters are free to custom-build Apache installations that precisely fit their needs by compiling only the software modules they want. The authors do a good job of exploring these possibilities but still manage to present the material in an organized, topical manner. They take a little time along the way to delve into some key related technologies such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI), cookies, Perl, and Personal Home Page (PHP)--a very popular server-side scripting language frequently used to add the smarts to Apache applications. The chapters are all rather bite-size, making this book easy to digest for those with scattered chunks of reading time. To get the most from Apache, a solid understanding of C programming is a must. Even so, this book offers much for the nonprogrammer interested in learning about Apache. Included is a CD-ROM containing the source code for the Apache 1.3.9 release, as well as several third-party utilities like Comanche--a key administration tool. If you have experience with commercial Web servers and are curious what all the fuss is about with Apache, this title offers a well-rounded look at the hottest Web server around. --Stephen W. Plain Topics covered: Installation, server configuration files, configuration with Comanche, MIME types, proxy and cache server use, CGI programming, server-side includes, cookie implementation, security and auditing, authentication, logging, Apache modules, Perl module, PHP module, and Apache API. Dictionary of Networking --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  At Last--Clear and Comprehensible Definitions of All the Networking Acronyms, Terms, and Abbreviations You Need to Know The Dictionary of Networking is a highly readable, authoritative guide to the extensive--and often bewildering--terminology of network computing. This completely updated, expanded third edition spans all aspects of networking hardware and software--from peer-to-peer networks to enterprise wide area networks (WANs), the Internet, and internetworking--and covers every major network operating system. Topics include: * Certification programs * Communications * Industry standards * The Internet and intranets * LANs, MANs, WANs * Mobile and wireless computing * Network administration * Networking theory and concepts * Operating systems and environments * PC and server hardware * Protocols * Security * Slang * Voice and data transmissions This book contains more than 3,000 entries. Abbreviations and acronyms are cross-referenced to their definitions, and many entries include additional cross-references to related entries. You'll find clear, concise definitions, acronyms and abbreviations defined in context.
 Getting started is an apt description for not only the beginning of this book, but also for your work toward achieving Network+ certification. CompTIA’s Network+ is one of the premier certifications that professional network engineers worldwide select to advance their technical expertise and launch their careers in the Information Technology (IT) industry. Networking is one of the hottest topics in IT, and to move to the top of the IT field, you must understand networking at the detail level. This book is intended to start you on the path to Network+ certification What’s interesting about CompTIA’s Network+ certification is that it teaches basic networking concepts that are not tied to any particular vendor’s products. These concepts apply for any type of server or workstation that communicates across a network, and they’re valid in any environment. This is one of the main reasons that people select Network+ certification—the concepts you must know to earn it will be useful for as long as networks exist.
If you run a network that uses Microsoft Windows 2000 or any of the other network operating systems (NOSs) out there, you know that certain specific concepts apply only to that particular NOS. The Network+ certification does not ignore this fact. In Network+, you are required to know the basics of Windows networks, Novell NetWare, Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux, in addition to how to network Windows workstations.
This book is organized to help you study for the Network+ examination. The majority of the material offers detailed information about networking theory and models, building from fundamentals to more complex subjects.
