Bulletproofing TCP/IP-based Windows NT/2000 networks - Held, Gilbert (John Wiley, 2001)
Includes index
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.; It covers how TCP/IP operates and how TCP/IP attacks occur and provides detailed coverage on how to secure both TCP/IP networks and the Windows NT/2000 host on such networks against different attack methods. It also describes a new attack method, "script-form attack", which could cause a company financial problems and its prevention. Practical real-world examples of methods used to block potential attacks are used
