240 CCSP CBT Nuggets - IPS 642-533

2009-10-15T09:33:00.000-07:00

IPS creates "trip-lines" to sound an alarm when your network is in danger
Think back to one of those spy movies where laser sensors surround a protected area - like where a rare jewel is stored. Even if the crook gets into the building, the alarm still goes off, and they get caught red-handed.
That's what an Intrusion Prevention System does for your network. It creates virtual "trip-lines" to catch threatening traffic. Even if an intruder makes it past your firewall or other network defense systems, the IPS sensor catches them, sounds an alarm, and even blocks their movement through your network.
IPS recognizes and stops most types of attacks. When your IPS identifies an attack's signature, it alerts you that your network could be in danger. It also watches for other danger signals, including unexpected activity from specific computers on the network, or protocols modified to work in non-standard ways. Because every network is different, you can custom configure your IPS to minimize false-positive alarms, while still blocking rogue traffic.
Exam-Pack: 642-533 IPS will show you how to deploy, configure and maintain IPS sensors on your corporate network. This includes using both the GUI and command line administration environments for setting up and maintaining your IPS. You'll even learn how to configure it to manage access lists on all your network devices. This allows you to setup on-the-fly access list configuration on other Cisco devices to block the intruder's IP address from reaching the network.
The 5 video updates include lots of exciting new IPS features, such as Self-Defending Network and Defense in Depth. After completing this IPS video series -- including the updates -- you'll provide your organization with:

improved IT management

timely recognition of suspicious activity

greater network uptime

better protected corporate assets

easier enforcement of company-wide security policies. Exam-Prep for Cisco IPS exam as part of CCSP Certification
In addition to giving you real-world skills for setting up an IPS sensor to protect your network, Exam-Pack 642-533 IPS maps to exam objectives for Cisco's 642-533 exam on securing networks using Intrusion Prevention Systems. This exam is part of the CCSP and Cisco IPS Specialist certification tracks.
Note:: Jeremy Cioara's Cisco Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) video series now includes 5 video updates by Michael Shannon. The combined series prepares you for Cisco's 642-533 certification exam. It replaces Cisco exam 642-532, which was retired in January 2008.

Building Your Own Computer -Video tutorial

Video tutorial about how to build your own computer (PC). these 3 CDs (or 1 DVD) from Robb Tracy .

Why should I build my own personal computer?

I guess for most of us computer geeks and geeklings, the truthful answer to that question is "because we like to," or "because it's fun." But there are
actually quite a few other advantages to building your own computer. For example:

You can build your computer exactly how you want it, as best fits your computing needs. When you build your own computer, it truly is a "personal"
computer. Building a PC is an educationally rewarding experience that can enrich a person's knowledge of and appreciation for applied math, electronics, and physics. Sometimes a homebuilt computer can be less expensive than a comparably equipped store-bought computer, especially if you start with a barebones computer kit. Building computers is an enjoyable hobby with the potential to lead to a career. In fact, many IT professionals got their start by building their own computers.

170 Hacking Exposed

2009-05-22T19:19:00.000-07:00

Hacking Exposed 5th Edition

If you are a computer professional with an eye to the publishing world, you’re probably familiar with a big red book called Hacking Exposed. This bold book with its bold title often appears at the end of the aisle or in other easy-to-reach locations. The reason for all the attention -- and brisk sales -- is that this book really is different. For almost any computer book, you can find a clone. But not this one. Hacking Exposed is a one-of-a-kind study of the art of breaking in. The authors, a trio of security consultants for Foundstone, Inc., take the reader through a spectrum of intrusion tools and strategies. One of the biggest problems with security books is that, when you take out the OS configuration steps, most books offer little more than mundane pronouncements and recycled rules of thumb. Hacking Exposed is one of those rare books that actually show the reader how to think like an intruder. You’ll see the whole picture of the intrusion process from the top--a broad look at the phases of a network attack--to the bottom--examples of obscure Unix commands and discussions of specific hacking tools. And along the way, you’ll pick up valuable insights on how hackers think and how you can protect your network by thinking like a hacker. Hacking Exposed is also an impressive catalog of intrusion tools. You’ll find concise discussions of many tools, including information on how to obtain the tool and how to tell if the tool is currently deployed against you on your network. You’ll also find discussions of well known and lesser known attack methods, such as Trojan horses, buffer overflows, log doctoring, session hijacking, and SSL fraud. Hacking Exposed is divided into four parts. The first part, "Casing the Establishment," describes the footprinting, scanning, and enumeration phases, in which the intruder compiles a detailed map of the target network, including IP addresses, open ports, and relevant network resources. Part II, "System Hacking," describes specific techniques for hacking Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Novell NetWare, and Unix systems. (Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.) Part III, "Network Hacking," examines topics such as default passwords, SNMP, firewalls, denial of service, and dial-up attacks. Part IV, "Software Hacking," covers remote control vulnerabilities, Web hacking, and several advanced techniques, such as tricks with root kits and imaging tools. The best part of Hacking Exposed is the details. How many security books have you read that told you to beware of Trojan horses and then didn’t offer any specifics on what Trojan horses are out there and what to do about them? Hacking Exposed names at least a dozen specific Trojan horse programs currently operating on Windows, NetWare, and Unix systems. You’ll even find screen captures, URLs, and detection tips for each of the Trojans. This book shows clearly why you can’t assume anything is secure. You’ll learn tricks for compromising "secure" channel protocols such as SSL, IPSec, and PPTP. The details on Windows hacks are a particularly useful part of the book. You’ll learn about Registry hacks, remote access exploits, port redirection, and privilege escalation in Windows. If you ever felt inclined to believe Microsoft’s official version of Windows security, you’ll be interested in what the authors have to say about disabling auditing, clearing the Event Log, and hiding NTFS file resources. As one who has worked with computer books for many years, I can only imagine that Hacking Exposed must have evoked some secret envy from other publishers. This same book has been planned many times in many conference rooms throughout the publishing world, but in the end, it always comes down to the authors. You need creative and experienced authors with lots of energy to deliver this kind of detail and vision. If you spend enough time with Hacking Exposed, you could probably learn enough to start hacking networks yourself, although anyone else who has the book could probably learn enough to stop you. The fact is, if you really want to protect your network, you’ll need more information than any one book can hold. But if you want a head start on keeping your network safe, make sure Hacking Exposed is on your bookshelf. (Unix Review ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

159 A Graphic Guide To The Protocol Suite

Illustrated TCP-IP - A Graphic Guide To The Protocol Suite

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

• The protocol suite of TCP/IP is becoming the world’s most widely implemented network protocol.
• 1970s—WANG
• 1980s—SNA / Novell NetWare
• 1990s—Novell and TCP/IP
• TCP/IP combined with the Web browser is creating a new type of client/server network operating system.
The TCP/IP protocol suite is being used for communications, whether for voice, video, or data. There is a new service being brought out for voice over IP at a consumer cost of 5.5 cents per minute. Radio broadcasts are all over the Web. Video is coming, but the images are still shaky and must be buffered heavily before displaying on the monitor. However, give it time. All great things are refined by time, and applications over TCP/IP are no exception.
Today, you will not find too many data communications installments that have not implemented or have not thought about the TCP/IP protocol. TCP/IP is becoming so common that it is not so much a matter of selecting the TCP/IP protocol stack as it is selecting applications that support it. Many users do not even know they are using the TCP/IP protocol. All they know is that they have a connection to the Web, which many people confuse with the Internet. We’ll get into the details of the differences later, but for now, you just need to understand that the Web is an application of the Internet. The Web uses the communications facilities of the Internet to provide for data flow between clients and servers. The Internet is not the Web and the Web is not the Internet.
In the 1970s, everyone had some type of WANG machine in their office. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Novell’s NetWare applications consumed every office. Today, NetWare continues to dominate the network arena with its installed based of client/server network applications. However, the TCP/IP protocol and Internet browsers, such as NetScape’s Navigator and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, and Web programming languages are combining to produce powerful corporate networks known as intranets, which mimic the facilities of the Internet but on a corporate scale. Intranets from different companies or simply different sites can communicate with each other through the Internet. Consumers can access corporate intranets through an extranet, which is simply part of the corporate intranet that is available to the public. A great example of this is electronic commerce, which is what you use when you purchase something via the Internet. Directory services are provided through Domain Name Services (DNSs) Microsystems. File and print services are provided in many different ways. Finally, the ultimate in full connectivity is the Internet, which allows the corporate intranets to interconnect (within the same corporation or different corporations), providing global connectivity unmatched by any network application today. Therefore, within a short time (possibly 1998), very powerful applications will be built that utilize the TCP/IP software suite that will eventually rival NetWare at the core.

A brief introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to the Ubuntu operating system, and the philosophy that underpins it. The fact you’re reading this book might mean you already know about Ubuntu, but one or two readers might have bought the Print Edition of this book (or downloaded the PDF) on a whim to see what the fuss is all about. These people might lack specifics, and remain unconvinced of the benefits of Ubuntu. So, I’m going to burn through some precious pages of this slim volume to evangelize and explain just a little.

What is Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is a version of the Linux operating system. An operating system
is the software that “runs your computer”. Microsoft Windows is the
world’s most popular operating system, at least for desktop computers,
but Linux is a completely separate endeavor.

GNU
The ball started rolling back in the 1980s, when a hugely talented computer scientist called Richard Stallman decided to create a clone of a venerable operating system called Unix. At the time, Unix ran many of the world’s industrial and academic computer systems. Stallman did this because Unix was becoming increasingly proprietary—it was no longer permitted to share its source code (the listings created by programmers), as had happened since the inception of Unix in 1969.
This was anathema to Stallman, who believed sharing software was natural and healthy. He decided his version of Unix would always be freely available, and invented the legal and ethical concept of Free Software to ensure this happened. Put simply, Free Software says users should always have the freedom to share software, without restrictions. On a technical level, Free Software guarantees the right to view and also modify source code, or even use it as a basis to make a new program. However, any additions or changes must be released as Free Software too, so others can continue to benefit. NOTE The Free Software ideal is enshrined in a software license applied to all Free Software projects. It’s called the GNU Public License, or GPL. This is like Microsoft’s End User License Agreement that comes with Windows (and you see whenever you install Windows from scratch), except whereas the Microsoft EULA prohibits sharing Windows under any circumstances, the GPL says exactly the opposite—that you can always share the software! Stallman called his version of Unix “GNU” (pronounced G-noo). This is a recursive acronym, standing for GNU’s Not Unix. In other words, the acronym refers to itself—a joke of a type favored by programmers.
