Opis: Nmap in the Enterprise - Becky Pinkard, Angela Orebaugh, A Orebaugh
Nmap, or Network Mapper, is a free, open source tool that is available under the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. It is most often used by network administrators and IT security professionals to scan corporate networks, looking for live hosts, specific services, or specific operating systems. Part of the beauty of Nmap is its ability to create IP packets from scratch and send them out utilizing unique methodologies to perform the above-mentioned types of scans and more. This book provides comprehensive coverage of all Nmap features, including detailed, real-world case studies. Understand Network Scanning Master networking and protocol fundamentals, network scanning techniques, common network scanning tools, along with network scanning and policies. Get inside Nmap; use Nmap in the enterprise, secure Nmap, optimize Nmap, and master advanced Nmap scanning techniques; install, configure, and optimize Nmap; deploy Nmap on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and install from source; take control of Nmap with the Zenmap GUI; run Zenmap, manage Zenmap scans, build commands with the Zenmap command wizard, manage Zenmap profiles, and manage Zenmap results; and, Run Nmap in the Enterprise Start Nmap scanning, discover hosts, port scan, detecting operating systems, and detect service and application versions. Raise those fingerprints; understand the mechanics of Nmap OS fingerprinting, Nmap OS fingerprint scan as an administrative tool, and detect and evade the OS fingerprint scan; 'tool' around with Nmap; learn about Nmap add-on and helper tools such as NDiff - Nmap diff, RNmap - Remote Nmap, Bilbo, Nmap - parser; analyze Real-World Nmap scans; follow along with the authors to analyze real-world Nmap scans; Master advanced Nmap scanning techniques; and, torque Nmap for TCP scan flags customization, packet fragmentation, IP and MAC address spoofing, adding decoy scan source IP addresses, add random data to sent packets, manipulate time-to-live fields, and send packets with bogus TCP or UDP checksums.

?My career is based on performing network evaluations and penetration tests on customer networks to find security holes. A significant part of my job is understanding the specifics of what machines, services, and applications are available to attack on those networks. This is normally the first step in any network security work. Although there are certainly multiple tools available that could be used for this, the industry agrees (by huge majority) that NMAP is the best tool for the job. It provides mandatory functions, such as service identification and verification, but also provides the added capabilities for identifying the host operating system and utilizing a variety of port scans methods, depending on the job requirements.
Many of the options within NMAP are no longer documented within the help files, requiring users of the product to keep their own notes or perform extensive web searches looking for the appropriate command line options to use. It is my opinion that a Syngress book on the NMAP tool would provide an invaluable reference to individuals depending on the NMAP tool. What a great benefit it would be to reach over and take a reference from the book shelf.
Of course, all truly useful reference books need a qualified author who understands the underlying details. I believe Angela Orebaugh has the background and network knowledge to write a comprehensive and valuable reference book on NMAP. Angela has already authored books on intrusion detection, Snort IDS, and packet sniffing using Snort. The understanding of networks and protocols required to write on t
