|
There are many ways that a potential attacker can intercept information, or |
|
learn more about the sender, as the information travels over a network. |
|
Silence on the Wire uncovers these silent attacks so that system |
|
administrators can defend against them, as well as better understand and |
|
monitor their systems.</p> |

★★☆☆☆ |
|
</div> |
|
<p>This is a book about passive detection. Or active detection. Or attacks. I |
|
really don't know, because the subject keeps jumping around so much you have |
|
no idea the point the author wants to make.</p> |
|
<p>There are plenty explanations for stuff, but mostly is dumbed down to the |
|
point it doesn't even make sense. Besides that, you have explanations for |
|
attacks that sounds really scary/cool (depending on your point of view) but |
|
after you think a bit about it, it is really hard to execute and, with the |
|
necessary access to do so, you wouldn't really need this kind of stuff.</p> |
|
<p>Also, there is plenty of "this author research" or "a research that yours |
|
truly did" that sounds more like "Hey, look how awesome I am" than "you should |
|
really worry about this thing".</p> |
|
<p>About the edition, there are original articles in their original form, but |
|
they are presented in mono spaced font in a weird indentation that doesn't fit |
|
any layout you chose (landscape, two columns landscape, portrait). Also, there |
|
are chapter footnotes and book footnotes and both follow the same format, |
|
which means you will find a "[1]", followed by a "[100]", followed by a "[2]". |
|
And the author uses "Too," instead of "Also," which, for a non-native English |
|
speaking person like me, sounds strange as hell.</p> |
