This all-in-one reference covers Windows, UNIX, and Linux, and teaches you how to keep the hacks out of your network by using the same Tiger Box tools that hackers use to detect and penetrate network vulnera-bilities. Full of essential examples and illustrations, the Second Edition, contains:
* Over 170 new countermeasures
