Cyber operations : building, defending, and attcking modern computer netwrks / Mike O'Leary - 2nd ed., - New York Apress Media 2022 - 1134p. - Expert's voice in cybersecurity. .
Cyber Operations walks you through all the processes to set up, defend, and attack computer networks. This book focuses on networks, and actual attacks, offer extensive coverage of offensive and defensive techniques and are supported by a rich collection of exercises and resources. You'll learn how to configure your network from the ground up, starting by setting up your virtual test environment with basics like DNS and active directory, through standard network services, and ending with complex web applications involving web servers and backend databases. Essential defensive techniques are integrated throughout the exposition. You will develop situational awareness of your network and build a complete defensive infrastructure--including log servers, network firewalls, web application firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. Of course, you cannot truly understand how to defend a network if you do not know how to attack it, so that you will shoot your test systems in a variety of ways beginning with elementary attacks against browsers and culminating with a case study of the compromise of a defended e-commerce site. The author, who has coached his university's cyber defence team three times to the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition finals, provides a practical, hands-on approach to cyber security.
