Description

Following the success of Linux Basics for Hackers, OccupytheWeb does what he did for Linux to Networks. Networks of all types, including TCP/IP, Bluetooth Networks, Car Networks, W-iFi Networks, Radio Frequency Networks, SCADA/ICS Networks, and more. In his inimitable style, Master OTW makes the seemingly complex, simple. This book is designed for beginner to intermediate cybersecurity professionals. It begins with the basics of networks and networking, examines network analysis with Wireshark and tcpdump, offers one of the most complete and in-depth analyses of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks, then progresses through the various protocols such as DNS, ARP, SMTP, and others. The reader will be led through the building of those applications in Linux, such as an EXIM server for email or a BIND server for DNS. Then OTW leads the reader through the major vulnerabilities of that protocol/application. In the final chapters, OTW leads the reader through some of the networks on the leading-edge of cybersecurity, such as Car, Radio, and Industrial networks. There has never been book quite like this one! Read more

  • Good introduction
Dont get me wrong, I am a huge fan of the author but to be honest I wasn't too impressed with the book. I am not an environmentalist by any means but oh my God he could have done something with all the white space. There is so much white space in this book he could have saved a tree or two printing mine if he would have lowered the font and the size of the pictures. Reads like it was printed out of Word, this thing prints so much white space it honestly could have been 30 or maybe even 100 pages shorter. ... show more

  • A++++
This guy doesnt write textbooks. He shares wisdom. And his wisdom is worth 10x the books weight in gold.

  • Editor, technical editor may be ideal
No doubt what the author is doing for Ukraine is tremendous. And maybe also that's where much focus has been as well. I just finally started reading and coming across misspelled words that spellcheck would easily catch is surprising me. But more so, it keeps messing up the flow of my reading. I had no thoughts of posting a review at this time, but then I just ran across on page 16, of the private address ranges and was more surprised that the 172 range was listed incorrectly. At least from I recall in my CCNA days. I'm certain there's good stuff in the book, I only wanted to encourage editing to make things even better. ... show more

  • One of the Best Cybersecurity Books on Amazon!
Master OTW has done it again! This is a must have book that everyone in cybersecurity should have in their library. The only question I have is, why did it take so long for someone to write this book? OTW walks the beginner through network basics and network analysis but rapidly progresses to the various protocols such as DNS, ARP, SMTP, SMB and their vulnerabilities. He also walks the reader through building instances of those protocols in Linux such as a exim4 SMTP server or a BIND server. Finally, he explains the intricacies of such important but little understand networks such as SCADA/ICS, Radio Frequency, and Automobile Networks. The chapters on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hacking are worth the price of the book alone. This book is probably the best coverage of those two wireless technologies on the market today. Well worth the money. ... show more

Just like Linux for hackers this book is an absolute joy to read. Something about how OTW explains thing is just so understandable.
