Network Intrusion Detection. 3rd

Despite the best efforts of security professionals, networks are subjected to an increasing number of sophisticated attacks. Network Intrusion Detection, Third Edition will compliment the knowledge you've gained in the two previous books (Network Intrusion Detection and Network Intrusion Detection : An Analysts Handbook, Second Edition) and empower you as an analyst. Network security experts Stephen Northcutt and Judy Novak share their ongoing intrusion experiences to help you prepare to meet your intrusion detection challenges with confidence. You'll get complete coverage of key concepts such as how packets really work on the network, how to determine if a network trace is a stimulus or response, how to analyze traffic and information contained in IP and higher protocol fields, how to identify intrusions by the signature of the intruder, and how to incorporate intrusion detection into standard business setups.
