Product Description
Find out about TCP/IP-based network attack methods and threats to Windows NT/2000 computers and the preventive measures you can use to protect your infrastructure. Bulletproofing TCP/IP-based Windows NT/2000 Networks details the use of router access lists, firewalls, virus scanners and encryption. It includes examples of the configuration of hardware and
software to prevent or minimize the effect of a wide range of communications-based attacks against TCP/IP networks and Windows NT/2000 hosts connected to such networks.
- Covers how TCP/IP operates and how TCP/IP attacks occur.
- Detailed coverage on how to secure both TCP/IP networks and the Windows NT/2000- host on such networks against different attack methods.
- Describes a new attack method, 'script-form attack', which could cause a company financial problems, and its prevention.
- Uses practical real-world examples of methods used to block potential attacks.
Aimed at TCP/IP network managers, LAN admiistrators, Windows NT/2000 administrators and network professionals. It can also be used for high level undergraduate and graduate electrical engineering and computer science courses covering network security.

Reader ReviewsWe all know that while one should not judge a book by its cover, one generally can judge a book by its title. While I was initially intrigued by the title of this book, I was a little disappointed to find the author already apologizing for the title in the preface. Ill be honest with you, I was pretty unhappy with the text of his apology. The author writes that there is probably no such thing as a completely bulletproof network and networked host. With the authors extensive talents and expertise in the field of information security, he should have unmistakably stated that there is unequivocally no such thing as a completely bulletproof network and networked host. The difference is crucial, since even items that are advertised in Security Management as bulletproof, are only bulletproof for a limited number of bullets on a restricted surface. As corporate networks are exceedingly complex, there is clearly no way to make them bulletproof. Despite the fact that more and more is being spent on information systems security, things are getting more and more complex, and complex systems are much harder to protect. With that, Bulletproofing TCP/IP-Based Windows NT/2000 Networks nonetheless does provide a decent overview of various threats and attacks that anyone running Windows NY and 2000 servers should be aware of. Unfortunately, only about 45 pages of the book actually deal with topics that are unique to Windows NT & 2000. The other parts of the book are much more generic and unfocused on Windows. While the book does have a lot of worthwhile information; its lack of Windows specific information, combined with its steep price...makes its purchase a hard sell.
