From the Publisher



This book will cover customizing Snort to perform intrusion detection and

prevention; Nessus to analyze the network layer for vulnerabilities; and

Ethereal to "sniff" their network for malicious or unusual traffic. The book

will also contain an appendix detailing "the best of the rest" open source

security tools. Each of these tools is intentionally designed to be highly

customizable so that users can torque the programs to suit their particular

needs. Users can code their own custom rules, plug-ins, and filters that are

tailor-made to fit their own networks and the threats which they most commonly

face. The book describes the most important concepts of coding and customizing

tools, and then provides readers with invaluable working scripts that can either

be used as is or further refined by using knowledge gained from the book.



* Snort, Nessus, and Ethereal are the three most popular open source security

tools in the world

* Only book that teaches readers how to customize these tools for their specific

needs by coding rules,

plugins, and filters

* Companion Web site provides all working code and scripts from the book for

download



Are you a network security administrator who has Nessus, Snort and Ethereal up

and running? If you are, then this book is for you! Authors Brian Caswell,

Gilbert Ramirez, Jay Beale and Noam Rathaus, have done an outstanding job of

writing a book that shows you how to customize, code and torque Nessus, Snort

and Ethereal to their fullest potential. Caswell, Ramirez, Beale and Rathaus,

begin by covering the inner workings of NASL. Then, the authors shows you how to

debug NASLs. They continue by showing you how to use extensions and custom

tests. Next, the authors cover Nessus' include files implementation of the SMB

protocol, followed by Nessus' include files implementation of Windows-related

hotfix and service pack verification. Then, they underline the steps that must

be taken so that Nessus can incorporate support for NTLM. They also present

several tools to automate and simplify plugin creation. Then, they help readers

understand Snort code. The authors continue by showing you how to write your own

custom Snort rules. They also show you how to navigate the Snort source tree.

Next, the authors show you how to modify the Snort source code to solve an

otherwise difficult task. Then, they show you how to enable Ethereal to read

from new data sources. They continue by showing you how to program your own

protocol dissector, either linked into Ethereal or as a plugin. Finally, the

authors show you how to take advantage of Ethereal's that open source

programmers have created for collection of dissectors. The authors of this most

excellent book provide the inside scoop on coding the most effective and

efficient Snort rules. More importantly, after reading this book, you will be a

master at coding your own tools to detect malicious traffic.
