Developer's Guide to Network Security provides a hands-on approach to learning the vital security skills. It details the software and techniques hackers use and provides practical insights on what's really important in understanding hacking issues. The book cuts through the cursory issues and quickly delves into the essentials at a code and implementation level. It teaches users how to write and use scanners, sniffers, exploits, and more. It also helps developers write network security test harnesses for application and infrastructure. In addition, it covers how to create passive defense strategies to collect data on hackers, as well as how to use active defense strategies through techniques such as penetration testing. Unlike other books on hacking, Code Hacking takes a unique approach that covers hacking issues using a variety of languages. Software explanations and code samples are provided in C#, C++, Java, and Perl, allowing developers to learn from a variety of perspectives. The companion CD-ROM contains a custom security scanner written in C#. This scanner is a combination of a port and vulnerability scanner that scans IP addresses, allows certain services to be "brute forced," and exploits well-known vulnerabilities.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Code Hacking: A Developer's Guide To Network Security (Charles River Media Networking/Security) (Paperback)
The collaboration of freelance computer consultant Richard Conway and security and distributed applications consultant Julian Cordingley, Code Hacking: A Developer's Guide To Network Security is a guidebook that teaches developers basic hacking techniques and hacker methodologies and thought processes, so that developers can write code that more effectively resists hacking as well as how to write network security test harnesses for application and infrastructure. Scanners, sniffers, and common exploits are also covered in this in-depth guide that uses the languages of C#, C++, and Java to present and explain its lessons. An accompanying CD-ROM contains a custom security scanner written in C#. Highly recommended for aspiring and skilled developer's in today's modern age of cybercrime.

USELESS,

This review is from: Code Hacking: A Developer's Guide To Network Security (Charles River Media Networking/Security) (Paperback)
Had this book been published 5 years ago, then it would have been considered OK (just ok). Today, this is only an anachronic, elementary and overall useless book.
Currently I am researching in the secure code area and got a lot of related paper and books. By no means this book could be considered as a valid contender (alternative). It only provides "yet another" useless collection of naive and dated (loosely explained) attacks. If really interested in this area, try Mr. VIEGAS' books. A bit repetitive (same issues discussed again in each book) but very helpful for understanding, classifying, preventing and detecting vulnerable codes.
