The Internet: The Missing Manual

The Internet is almost synonymous with change–that's one of its charms, and one of its headaches. You may think you know the Internet, but are you really up to speed on internet telephones, movie and TV downloading, blogging, gaming, online banking, dating, and photosharing?

This utterly current book covers:

Getting Online. Readers will have all the information they need to decide what kind of broadband connection works best for them, which browser they should use, and what kind of spyware-fighting and virus-and spam-protection measures they need to protect themselves.

Finding Information. Google may be the leading search site, but it's certainly not the only game in town. This book introduces a diverse and useful collection of sites that help uncover everything from health care information, to shopping, travel and finance, to dependable reviews and ratings.

Movies, music, and photos. The Web's teeming with entertainment–and not just the sort of postage-stamp sized videos that only a geek could love. Learn where to download movies, watch TV online, listen to music, play games, and post and share photos with friends.

Keeping in touch. Email's only the beginning. This book introduces readers to the many tools that make the modern Internet such a great way to stay connected.

How the Internet Works promises "an exciting visual journey down the highways and byways of the Internet," and it delivers. The book's high quality graphics and simple, succinct text make it the ideal book for beginners; however it still has much to offer for Net vets.

This book is jam- packed with cool ways to visualize how the Net works. The first section visually explores how TCP/IP, Winsock, and other Net connectivity mysteries work.

This section also helps you understand how e-mail addresses and domains work, what file types mean, and how information travels across the Net. Part 2 unravels the Net's underlying architecture, including good information on how routers work and what is meant by client/server architecture.

The third section covers your own connection to the Net through an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and how ISDN, cable modems, and Web TV work. Part 4 discusses e-mail, spam, newsgroups, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and Net phone calls. In part 5, you'll find out how other Net tools, such as gopher, telnet, WAIS, and FTP, can enhance your Net experience.

End To End Network Security

Defense-in-Depth is a phrase that is often used and equally misunderstood. This book gives an excellent overview of what this really means and, more importantly, how to apply certain principles to develop appropriate risk mitigation strategies.

After you have assimilated the content of this book, you will have a solid understanding of several aspects of security. The author begins with an overview of the basics then provides comprehensive methodologies for preparing for and reacting to security incidents and, finally, illustrates a unique framework for managing through the lifecycle of security known as SAVE. Also provided are various Defense-in-Depth strategies covering the most current advanced technologies utilized for protecting information assets today. Equally as important are the case studies which provide the reader with real-world examples of how to put these tools, processes, methodologies, and frameworks to use.

Within these pages, you will find many practical tools both process related and technology related that you can draw on to improve your risk mitigation strategies. The most effective security programs combine attention to both deeply technical issues and business process issues. The author clearly demonstrates that he grasps the inherent challenges posed by combining these disparate approaches, and he conveys them in an approachable style. You will find yourself not only gaining valuable insight from End-to-End Network Security, but also returning to its pages to ensure you are on target in your endeavors.

Anyone interested in network security should become familiar with the information included in this book—from network and security engineers to management and executives. This book covers not only numerous technical topics and scenarios, but also covers a wide range of operational best practices in addition to risk analysis and threat modeling.

Handbook of Network and System Administration

System administration is about the design, running and maintenance of human-computer systems. Examples of human-computer systems include business enterprises, service institutions and any extensive machinery that is operated by, or interacts with human beings. System administration is often thought of as the technological side of a system: the architecture, construction and optimization of the collaborating parts, but it also occasionally touches on softer factors such as user assistance (help desks), ethical considerations in deploying a system, and the larger implications of its design for others who come into contact with it.

This book summarizes the state of research and practice in this emerging field of network and system administration, in an anthology of chapters written by the top academics in the field. The authors include members of the IST-EMANICS Network of Excellence in Network Management.

This book will be a valuable reference work for researchers and senior system managers wanting to understand the essentials of system administration, whether in practical application of a data center or in the design of new systems and data centers.
