Ethical Hacking

This thick study guide from the EC-Council press is one part of a five-volume series on offensive network security and defensive countermeasures. Its aim is to walk readers through the methods used to scan, test, break into and protect computer systems, using an interactive, hands-on approach. Topics run from how perimeter defenses are built to scanning and attacking simulated networks, and the books introduce a wide range of tools, viruses and malware. The material is organised around preparing for the Certified Ethical Hacker credential. By learning how intruders think and act, the reader is meant to become equipped to design sound defences and protect an organisation's critical systems and data.
