Description
Over the past year there has been a shift within the computer security world away from passive, reactive defense towards more aggressive,
proactive countermeasures. Although such tactics are extremely controversial, many security professionals are reaching into the dark
side of their tool box to identify, target, and suppress their adversaries. This book will provide a detailed analysis of the most timely
and dangerous attack vectors targeted at operating systems, applications, and critical infrastructure and the cutting-edge counter-measures
used to nullify the actions of an attacking, criminal hacker.
Audience:
Any network administrator or security professional who has read any of the books which teach them how to passively defend their network
against malicious, criminal hackers but now wants to take matters into their own hands.
