Linux Firewalls

Posted: 03 Nov 2012 01:24 PM PDT

Linux Firewalls

Book Description

System administrators need to stay ahead of new vulnerabilities that leave their networks exposed every day. A and an intrusion detection systems () are two important weapons in that fight, enabling you to proactively deny access and network traffic for signs of an .

Firewalls discusses the technical details of the and the Netfilter framework that are built into the , and it explains how they provide strong filtering, Network Address Translation (NAT), state tracking, and application layer inspection capabilities that rival many commercial tools. You’ll learn how to deploy as an with psad and fwsnort and how to build a strong, passive authentication layer around with fwknop.

Concrete examples illustrate concepts such as firewall log and policies, passive network authentication and authorization, exploit packet traces, Snort ruleset emulation, and more with coverage of these topics:

  • Passive network authentication and OS fingerprinting
  • log and policies
  • Application layer detection with the iptables string match extension
  • Building an iptables ruleset that emulates a Snort ruleset
  • Port knocking vs. Single Packet Authorization (SPA)
  • Tools for visualizing iptables logs

and C code snippets offer practical examples that will help you to maximize your deployment of Linux firewalls. If you’re responsible for keeping a network , you’ll find Linux Firewalls invaluable in your attempt to understand attacks and use iptables—along with psad and fwsnort—to detect and even prevent compromises.

Linux Appliance Design

Posted: 03 Nov 2012 01:16 PM PDT

Linux Appliance Design

Book Description

Modern appliances are complex machines with processors, operating systems, and application software. While there are books that will tell you how to run on embedded hardware, and books on how to build a application, Appliance Design is the first book to demonstrate how to merge the two and create a Linux appliance. You’ll see for yourself why Linux is the embedded operating system of choice for low-cost and a fast time to market.
Linux Appliance Design shows how to build better appliances—appliances with more types of interfaces, more dynamic interfaces, and better debugged interfaces.

You’ll learn how to build backend daemons, handle asynchronous events, and connect various user interfaces (including , framebuffers, infrared control, , and front panels) to these processes for remote configuration and control. Linux Appliance Design also introduces the Run-Time Access library, which provides a uniform mechanism for user interfaces to communicate with daemons.

Learn to:

  • Separate your user interfaces from your daemons
  • Give user interfaces run time access to configuration, status, and
  • Add professional network capabilities to your application
  • Use and build a MIB
  • Build a -based appliance interface
  • Build a command line interface (CLI)
  • Build a framebuffer interface with an infrared control as input
  • Manage logs and alarms on an appliance

Table of Contents
Chapter 1. Appliance
Chapter 2. Managing Daemons
Chapter 3. Using Run-Time Access
Chapter 4. Building and Securing Daemons
Chapter 5. The Laddie Alarm System. A Sample Appliance

Write Great Code, Volume 2

Posted: 03 Nov 2012 01:09 PM PDT

Write Great Code, Volume 2

Book Description

It’s a critical lesson that today’s computer science students aren’t always being taught: How to carefully choose their high-level language statements to produce efficient code. Write Great Code, Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level shows software engineers what too many college and university courses don’t – how compilers translate high-level language statements and data structures into code. Armed with this knowledge, they will make informed choices concerning the use of those high-level structures and help the compiler produce far better code – all without having to give up the productivity and portability benefits of using a high-level language.

From the Back Cover
No prior knowledge of language required!

In the beginning, most software was written in , the 's low-level language, in order to achieve acceptable on relatively slow hardware. Early programmers were sparing in their use of high-level language code, knowing that a high-level language compiler would generate crummy, low-level code for their software. Today, however, many programmers write in high-level languages like C, C++, Pascal, , or BASIC. The result is often sloppy, inefficient code. You don't need to give up the productivity and portability of high-level languages in order to produce more efficient software.

In this second volume of the Write Great Code series, you'll learn:

  • How to analyze the output of a compiler to verify that your code does, indeed, generate good machine code
  • The types of machine code statements that compilers typically generate for common control structures, so you can choose the best statements when writing HLL code
  • Just enough 80×86 and PowerPC assembly language to read compiler output
  • How compilers convert various constant and variable objects into machine data, and how to use these objects to write faster and shorter programs

With an understanding of how compilers work, you'll be able to write source code that they can translate into elegant machine code. That understanding starts right here, with Write Great Code, Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level.

Table of Contents
Chapter 1. Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level
Chapter 2. Shouldn't You Learn Assembly Language?
Chapter 3. 80×86 Assembly for the HLL Programmer
Chapter 4. PowerPC Assembly for the HLL Programmer
Chapter 5. Compiler Operation and Code Generation

Chapter 11. Pointer Data Types
Chapter 12. Record, Union, and Class Data Types
Chapter 13. Arithmetic and Logical Expressions
Chapter 14. Control Structures and Programmatic Decisions
Chapter 15. Iterative Control Structures
Chapter 16. Functions and Procedures
Appendix. A Brief Comparison of the 80×86 and PowerPC Families
