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 p***ed 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 ***essment tools
function.
Some of the topics covered include:

Writing your own network sniffers and packet injection tools
Writing plugins for Nessus, Ettercap, and Nikto
Developing exploits for Metasploit
Code analysis for web applications
Writing kernel modules for security applications, and understanding rootkits

While 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.
