NETWORK FLOW ANALYSIS
by MICHAEL W. LUCAS
Network Flow Analysis teaches network administrators how to build a flow-
based network awareness system and how network analysis and auditing can
help address problems and improve network reliability. Author Michael W.
Lucas first teaches you what flow is, how flows are used in network manage-
ment, and how to use a flow analysis system. He then goes on to explain how
to collect flow records; view, filter, and report flows; present flow records
graphically; and use flow records to proactively improve a network. Lucas
also compares existing popular tools for network management, explaining
why they don’t address common real-world issues, and demonstrates how,
once you understand the underlying process and techniques of flow manage-
ment, building a flow management system from freely available components
is not only possible but actually a better choice than much more expensive
systems.

HACKING, 2ND EDITION
The Art of Exploitation
by JON ERICKSON
While many security books merely show how to run existing exploits, Hacking:
The Art of Exploitation was the first book to explain how exploits actually work—
and how you can develop and implement your own. In this all new second
edition, author Jon Erickson uses practical examples to illustrate the funda-
mentals of serious hacking. You’ll learn about key concepts underlying com-
mon exploits, such as programming errors, assembly language, networking,
shellcode, cryptography, and more. And the bundled Linux LiveCD provides
an easy-to-use, hands-on learning environment. This edition has been exten-
sively updated and expanded, including a new introduction to the complex,
low-level workings of computers.
