This book is a marvellous thing: an important intervention in the policy debate about information security and a practical text for people trying to improve the situation. Cory Doctorowauthor, co-editor of Boing BoingA future with billions of connected "e;things"e; includes monumental security concerns. This practical book explores how malicious attackers can abuse popular IoT-based devices, including wireless LED lightbulbs, electronic door locks, baby monitors, smart TVs, and connected cars.If youre part of a team creating applications for Internet-connected devices, this guide will help you explore security solutions. Youll not only learn how to uncover vulnerabilities in existing IoT devices, but also gain deeper insight into an attackers tactics.Analyze the design, architecture, and security issues of wireless lighting systemsUnderstand how to breach electronic door locks and their wireless mechanismsExamine security design flaws in remote-controlled baby monitorsEvaluate the security design of a suite of IoT-connected home productsScrutinize security vulnerabilities in smart TVsExplore research into security weaknesses in smart carsDelve into prototyping techniques that address security in initial designsLearn plausible attacks scenarios based on how people will likely use IoT devices

If you're an advanced security professional, then you know that the battle to protect online privacy continues to rage on. Security chat rooms, especially, are resounding with calls for vendors to take more responsibility to release products that are more secure. In fact, with all the information and code that is passed on a daily basis, it's a fight that may never end. Fortunately, there are a number of open source security tools that give you a leg up in the battle.Often a security tool does exactly what you want, right out of the box. More frequently, you need to customize the tool to fit the needs of your network structure. Network Security Tools shows experienced administrators how to modify, customize, and extend popular open source security tools such as Nikto, Ettercap, and Nessus.This concise, high-end guide discusses the common customizations and extensions for these tools, then shows you how to write even more specialized attack and penetration reviews that are suited to your unique network environment. It also explains how tools like port scanners, packet injectors, network sniffers, and web assessment tools function.Some of the topics covered include:Writing your own network sniffers and packet injection toolsWriting plugins for Nessus, Ettercap, and NiktoDeveloping exploits for MetasploitCode analysis for web applicationsWriting kernel modules for security applications, and understanding rootkitsWhile many books on security are either tediously academic or overly sensational, Network Security Tools takes an even-handed and accessible approach that will let you quickly review the problem and implement new, practical solutions--without reinventing the wheel. In an age when security is critical, Network Security Tools is the resource you want at your side when locking down your network.
