Book Description

January 9, 2006 1418836796 978-1418836795 2
Guide to Network Defense and Countermeasures, 2E is the second of two books that are required for Level One of the Security Certified Program (SCP). This edition has been revised with updated content and maps clearly to the exam objectives for the current Security Certified Network Professional (SCNP) exam. Although the primary emphasis is on intrusion detection, the book also covers such essential practices as developing a security policy and then implementing that policy by performing Network Address Translation, setting up packet filtering, and installing proxy servers, firewalls, and virtual private networks.

This book is full of practical exercises for the beginner to learn security hands on. I picked up a free 933 MHz PC to run some of the case projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Security Beginers, February 16, 2007
This review is from: Guide to Network Defense and Countermeasures (Paperback)
I had some basic understanding of how TCP works, the layers, the terminology, but no knowledge about computer and network security. The book is great, the author assumes you know the basic networking termns but all content related to security is well written. I highly recommend it.
