Ghost in the WiresWilliam 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 FiltersJack 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. âJack 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.â Harry Reynolds, Author, Senior Test Engineer, Juniper Networks ITâS 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.

iCloud for BeginnersScott 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.

TCP/IP IllustratedKevin Fall & W Stevens
âFor an engineer determined to refine and secure Internet operation or to explore alternative solutions to persistent problems, the insights provided by this book will be invaluable.â âVint Cerf, Internet pioneer TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1, Second Edition, is a detailed and visual guide to todayâs TCP/IP protocol suite. Fully updated for the newest innovations, it demonstrates each protocol in action through realistic examples from modern Linux, Windows, and Mac OS environments. Thereâs no better way to discover why TCP/IP works as it does, how it reacts to common conditions, and how to apply it in your own applications and networks. Building on the late W. Richard Stevensâ classic first edition, author Kevin R. Fall adds his cutting-edge experience as a leader in TCP/IP protocol research, updating the book to fully reflect the latest protocols and best practices. He first introduces TCP/IPâs core goals and architectural concepts, showing how they can robustly connect diverse networks and support multiple services running concurrently. Next, he carefully explains Internet addressing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Then, he walks through TCP/IPâs structure and function from the bottom up: from link layer protocolsâsuch as Ethernet and Wi-Fiâthrough network, transport, and application layers. Fall thoroughly introduces ARP, DHCP, NAT, firewalls, ICMPv4/ICMPv6, broadcasting, multicasting, UDP, DNS, and much more. He offers extensive coverage of reliable transport and TCP, including connection management, timeout, retransmission, interactive data flow, and congestion control. Finally, he introduces the basics of security and cryptography, and illuminates the crucial modern protocols for protecting security and privacy, including EAP, IPsec, TLS, DNSSEC, and DKIM. Whatever your TCP/IP experience, this book will help you gain a deeper, more intuitive understanding of the entire protocol suite so you can build better applications and run more reliable, efficient networks.

Day One: Deploying Basic QoSGuy Davies
DAY ONE: DEPLOYING BASIC QOS By Guy Davies The demands being placed upon todayâs 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 â 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. Itâs 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, youâll 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. âThis book is a must have for anyone seeking to configure QOS in any Juniper device due to its clarity, precision, and ease of use. Itâs applicable to a wide range of engineers, from the Junos novice all the way to the expert. Guy canât help but share his immense knowledge and practical experience, adding extra value to the topic and the book as a whole.â - Miguel Barreiros, Senior Professional Services Consultant, Juniper Networks ITâS DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO: ⢠Understand the principles of QoS, independent of any vendorâs 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.
