Ghost in the Wires

Ghost in the Wires
My Adventures as the World's Most Wanted Hacker
by William L. Simon, Steve Wozniak & Kevin Mitnick

In this "intriguing, insightful and extremely educational" novel, the world's most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data (Frank W. Abagnale). Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information. "Mitnick manages to make breaking computer code sound as action-packed as robbing a bank." -- NPR

Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters by Jack W. Parks, IV

Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters Pairing routing policy and firewall filters may, at first glance, seem like an odd combination for a routing book, after all, filters are for security and policy is about manipulating route attributes and readvertisement. While route advertisement decisions can impact security, these two topics are more logically bundled into a single book because of the high degree of similarity in their Junos configuration syntax. Knowing one simply helps you learn the other, and given that both are critically important topics in modern IP networks, their synergy should not be ignored. Day One: Configuring Junos Policies and Firewall Filters shows how the savvy network administrator can make unified and robust efficiencies using two similar tools from their Junos toolbox. “Jack Parks provides clear, concise descriptions and configuration examples to illustrate basic concepts as well as complex examples that demystify policy and filter operations and capabilities that are not widely understood. this is your chance to finally understand why that nested firewall or Boolean grouped policy did not behave as you expected.”  Harry Reynolds, Author, Senior Test Engineer, Juniper Networks IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO: • Describe the features of policy, firewall filters, and policers in Junos.  • Understand the differences between policy and firewall filters.  • Configure policy, firewall filters, and policers in the Junos CLI.  • Create useful policies for your network. • Understand how policy flow and default policy actions work in Junos.  • Develop a foundation for advanced routing policy topics.  • Create hierarchical policy and chain policy together.  • Create routing policies that share or filter routes with other routers in the network.  Juniper Networks Books are singularly focused on network productivity and efficiency.

DAY ONE: DEPLOYING BASIC QOS By Guy Davies The demands being placed upon today’s networks are growing at an incredible rate.  Given the rapid increase in the number of attached devices, the explosion in traffic generated by these devices, and the convergence of legacy networks designed to carry a single type of traffic in isolation – the old approach of simply overprovisioning to support the potential peaks of data is no longer commercially or technically feasible.    To stop this perfect storm of a log jam, Day One: Deploying Basic QoS gives you an overview of Quality of Service (QoS) concepts and then provides tools and techniques from the Junos operating system toolbox to implement a comparatively simple class-of-service configuration. It’s a start, it works, and it can be done in your test bed on day one.  And true to the principles of Day One network instruction, you’ll be guided through a set of basic requirements and configuration tools using multiple templates and examples from which you can derive your own valid configurations.  “This book is a must have for anyone seeking to configure QOS in any Juniper device due to its clarity, precision, and ease of use. It’s applicable to a wide range of engineers, from the Junos novice all the way to the expert. Guy can’t help but share his immense knowledge and practical experience, adding extra value to the topic and the book as a whole.” - Miguel Barreiros, Senior Professional Services Consultant, Juniper Networks IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO: • Understand the principles of QoS, independent of any vendor’s implementation. • Identify the basic building blocks of a QoS implementation. • Identify common traffic behaviors and how they can be manipulated. • Construct combinations of the basic building blocks in order to induce a required behavior.

iCloud for Beginners - Scott La Counte Cover Art

iCloud for Beginners

iCloud for Beginners A Ridiculously Simple Guide to Online Storage by Scott La Counte

A beginners guide to moving to the cloud. iCloud is something that Apple doesn't talk a lot about but is perhaps their biggest service. It's estimated that nearly 850 million people use it. The thing about it, however, is many people don't even know they're using it. What exactly is it? If you are familiar with Google Drive, then the concept is something you probably already understand. It's an online storage locker. But it's more than that. It is a place where you can store files, and it also syncs everything-so if you send a message on your iPhone, it appears on your MacBook and iPad. If you work on a Keynote presentation from your iPad, you can continue where you left off on your iPhone. iCloud has become even more powerful as our photo library grows. Photos used to be relatively small, but as cameras have advanced, the size goes up. Most photos on your phone are several MB big. iCloud means you can keep the newest ones on your phone and put the older ones in the cloud. It also means you don't have to worry about paying for the phone with the biggest hard drive-in fact, even if you have the biggest hard drive, there's a chance it won't fit all of your photos. This short book will help new users navigate their way around the cloud service.

Stop waiting for the network team! If basic TCP/IP was hard, network administrators couldn’t do it. Servers give sysadmins a incredible visibility into the network—once they know how to unlock it. Most sysadmins don’t need to understand window scaling, or the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 echo requests, or other intricacies of the TCP/IP protocols. You need only enough to deploy your own applications and get easy support from the network team. This book teaches you: How modern networks really work The essentials of TCP/IP The next-generation protocol, IPv6 The right tools to diagnose network problems, and how to use them Troubleshooting everything from the physical wire to DNS How to see the traffic you send and receive Connectivity testing How to communicate with your network team to quickly resolve problems A systems administrator doesn’t need to know the innards of TCP/IP, but knowing enough to diagnose your own network issues transforms a good sysadmin into a great one.
