Hacking Exposed Cisco Networks

["Konstantin V. Gavrilenko" <mlists () arhont com>]

Hi List,


"Hacking Exposed Cisco Networks" was officially released yesterday. In 
the next couple of weeks it should be available in the shops. In the 
meantime you can download a sample chapter, get additional info about 
the book and download related tools from the book's official web page.

------The book outline------

Defend against the sneakiest attacks by looking at your Cisco network 
and devices through the eyes of the intruder. Hacking Exposed Cisco 
Networks shows you, step-by-step, how hackers target exposed systems, 
gain access, and pilfer compromised networks. All device-specific and 
network-centered security issues are covered alongside real-world 
examples, in-depth case studies, and detailed countermeasures. It's all 
here: from switch, router, firewall, wireless, and VPN vulnerabilities 
to Layer 2 man-in-the-middle, VLAN jumping, BGP, DoS, and DDoS attacks. 
You'll prevent tomorrow's catastrophe by learning how new flaws in 
Cisco-centered networks are discovered and abused by cyber-criminals.

* Use the tried-and-true Hacking Exposed methodology to find, exploit, 
and plug security holes in Cisco devices and networks
* Locate vulnerable Cisco networks using Google and BGP queries, 
wardialing, fuzzing, host fingerprinting, and portscanning
* Gain network access using password and SNMP community guessing, Telnet 
session hijacking, and searching for open TFTP servers
* Use blackbox testing to uncover data input validation errors, hidden 
backdoors, HTTP, and SNMP vulnerabilities
* Find out how IOS exploits are currently written and whether an 
attacker can insert malicious code into the IOS binary itself and use 
Cisco router as an attack platform
* Block determined DoS and DDoS attacks using Cisco proprietary 
safeguards, CAR, and NBAR
* Prevent secret keys cracking, sneaky data link attacks, routing 
protocol exploits, and malicious physical access
* Abuse Cisco failover protocols, punch holes in firewalls, and break 
into VPN tunnels


I hope you enjoy the read.
