There are many ways that a potential attacker can intercept information, or learn
more about the sender, as the information travels over a network. Silence on the
Wire uncovers these silent attacks so that system administrators can defend against
them, as well as better understand and monitor their systems.
Silence on the Wire dissects several unique and fascinating security and privacy
problems associated with the technologies and protocols used in everyday computing,
and shows how to use this knowledge to learn more about others or to better
defend systems. By taking an in-depth look at modern computing, from hardware
on up, the book helps the system administrator to better understand security
issues, and to approach networking from a new, more creative perspective. The
sys admin can apply this knowledge to network monitoring, policy enforcement,
evidence analysis, IDS, honeypots, firewalls, and forensics.
