How to Cheat at Securing a Wireless Network


Publisher: Syngress
Author: Lee Barken
ISBN: 1597490873
Release Date: 01 July 2006

eBook Description
Wireless connectivity is now a reality in most businesses. Yet by its nature, wireless networks are the most difficult to secure and are often the favorite target of intruders. Some of the primary threats are the result of the following factors:

  • Denial of service (DoS) and other network layer attacks
  • Unauthorized access across the perimeter and within the organization Application layer intrusions and attacks, both from within and outside the network Extended connectivity through remote access and extranets
  • An increase in unmanaged or ill-managed endpoint devices
    New applications like VoIP, instant messaging, and peer-to-peer

This book provides the busy network administrator with best-practice solutions address these threats and to maintain a secure and accessible wireless network. The book endorses the principle that the best strategy is to deploy multiple layers of security, each reinforcing the other. Yet it never strays from its emphasis on the practical; that any tool or methodology that is deployed must work reliably, allow sufficient access, and require a minimal amount of maintenance.

Web Search Garage


Publisher: Prentice Hall
Author: Tara Calishain
ISBN: 0131471481
Release Date: 12 August 2004

eBook Description
It’s easy to be suspicious of a book about how to use search engines. After all, search engines are designed to be simple to use: You just type in your keywords and go. Web Search Garage takes over at the far end of what is obvious, where author Tara Calishain explains how to use little-known search engines (particularly specialized ones) and unadvertised features of more famous search tools (mainly Google and Yahoo). She also describes some clever hacks that are engine independent, such as the fact that U.S. states have official URLs ending with their postal abbreviation and .us, as in .wa.us for the state of Washington. You can narrow searches usefully with that bit of knowledge. To cite another example, you can use the idea of combining Google’s wildcard capability with its exact-match search capability in queries like, “there are * types of horse” to yield reasonable-sized lists of useful hits.

The hints and ideas are thick in this modest-sized book, and they’re consistently outside the realm of what most of us would figure out for ourselves. In browsing this book, you’ll issue mental “Ah!” exclamations fairly frequently, and you’ll find yourself motivated to store Web Search Garage near the place where you do most of your browsing. After it first saves you some time, you’ll be reaching for it frequently to get its advice. –David Wall

Topics covered: How to find the Web pages and information you want using Google, Yahoo, and other online search resources. Search syntax, keyword selection, and little-known features of search engines all get attention.
