Hack the Stack was written for those who seek to better understand and to gain a deeper knowledge of how TCP/IP systems really work. Such knowledge enables security professionals to make networks more secure.

• Extend OSI to Network Security: Use the well-known Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model to see security topics in a new way.

• Defend the Physical Layer: Learn ways to avoid the loss of physical security, which can result in total exposure.

• Attack and Defend the Data Link Layer: Examine methods like ARP spoofing, MAC flooding, and using honeytokens.

• Understand IP Attacks: Learn how spoofing and evasion tasks can undermine the network layer.

• Detect Scans on Your Network: Understand port scanning techniques and utilities such as Scanrand, Wireshark, and Nmap.

• Avoid the Effects of Session Hijacking: See how Ettercap can be used for both malicious activity and to protect the session layer.

• Protect the Confidentiality of a Transaction: Use protocols such as IPSec to secure communications between two hosts.

• Analyze DNS and Its Weaknesses: See how DNS is susceptible to attacks that could lead to DoS or provide attackers with information.

• Make the Case for Stronger Security: Perform asset identification and valuation procedures.
