defense
The Network Security Test Lab is a hands-on, step-by-step
guide to ultimate IT security implementation. Covering the full

You’ll be introduced to tools like Wireshark, Networkminer, Nmap,
Metasploit, and more as you discover techniques for defending
against network attacks, social networking bugs, malware, and the
most prevalent malicious traffic. You also get access to open
source tools, demo software, and a bootable version of Linux to
facilitate hands-on learning and help you implement your new
skills.
Security technology continues to evolve, and yet not a week goes
