Network Security Assessment, 2nd Edition

Network Security Assessment demonstrates how a determined attacker scours Internet-based networks in search of vulnerable components, from the network to the application level.

Network Security Assessment helps you assess:

* Web services, including Microsoft IIS, Apache, Tomcat, and subsystems such as OpenSSL, Microsoft FrontPage, and Outlook Web Access (OWA)

* Web application technologies, including ASP, JSP, PHP, middleware, and backend databases such as MySQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server

* Microsoft Windows networking components, including RPC, NetBIOS, and CIFS services

* SMTP, POP3, and IMAP email services

* IP services that provide secure inbound network access, including IPsec, Microsoft PPTP, and SSL VPNs

* Unix RPC services on Linux, Solaris, IRIX, and other platforms

* Various types of application-level vulnerabilities that hacker tools and scripts exploit
