Download or read book Virtual Private Networks written by Charlie Scott and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 1999 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, only large companies could afford secure networks, which they created from expensive leased lines. Smaller folks had to make do with the relatively untrusted Internet. Nowadays, even large companies have to go outside their private nets, because so many people telecommute or log in while they're on the road. How do you provide a low-cost, secure electronic network for your organization?The solution is a virtual private network: a collection of technologies that creates secure connections or "tunnels" over regular Internet lines--connections that can be easily used by anybody logging in from anywhere. A number of products now exist to help you develop that solution.This book tells you how to plan and build a VPN. It starts with general concerns like costs, configuration, and how a VPN fits in with other networking technologies like firewalls. It continues with detailed descriptions of how to install and use VPN technologies that are available for Windows NT and Unix, such as PPTP and L2TP, Altavista Tunnel, Cisco PIX, and the secure shell (SSH).New features in the second edition include SSH, which is a popular VPN solution for Unix systems, and an expanded description of the IPSec standard, for which several vendors have announced support.Topics include: How the VPN compares to other available networking technologies Introduction to encryption, firewalls, the IPSec standard, and other technologies that let VPNs work Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and L2TP The Altavista Tunnel The Cisco PIX Firewall Secure Shell (SSH) Maintenance and troubleshooting

Download or read book Network Security Hacks written by Andrew Lockhart and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet is the greatest collaborative tool the world has ever known. It carries words and ideas across vast distances in mere milliseconds. Unfortunately, the Internet also makes your computers vulnerable to attack from almost any location on the planet. Every day, system crackers take advantage of vulnerable computers, turning them into spam relays or participants in distributed denial-of-service attacks, or using them to hide other unsavory activities. Network Security Hacks presents 100 industrial-strength techniques you can use to make sure that your networks are not a target of opportunity. These are real-world examples of tools and methods used by experts to protect their own computers and networks. Each hack can be read in just a few minutes, potentially saving you hours of research. Inside, you will find a wealth of useful techniques for detecting and dealing with intruders. You'll learn how to : Monitor your network and services with advanced Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) such as Snort and Spade; Protect your email and other critical services using strong encryption; Block network scanners that detect operating system identity, and even fool them into thinking you are running another OS entirely; Sectirely connect two remote sites over the Internet using a number of strong VPN solutions (including IPSec, OpenVPN, PPTP, VTun, and even SSH); Set up virtual networks (honeypots) that appear to be vulnerable to attack, in order to divert and confuse attackers; Harden your Linux, BSD, and Windows hosts against attack; Detect, respond to, and recover from inevitable system compromises Written for the intermediate to advanced network administrator, Network Security Hacks is full of practical, ingenious solutions to real-world networking situations and problems.
Download or read book VPNs Illustrated written by Jon C. Snader and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual private networks (VPNs) based on the Internet instead of the traditional leased lines offer organizations of all sizes the promise of a low-cost, secure electronic network. However, using the Internet to carry sensitive information can present serious privacy and security problems. By explaining how VPNs actually work, networking expert Jon Snader shows software engineers and network administrators how to use tunneling, authentication, and encryption to create safe, effective VPNs for any environment. Using an example-driven approach, VPNs Illustrated explores how tunnels and VPNs function by observing their behavior "on the wire." By learning to read and interpret various network traces, such as those produced by tcpdump, readers will be able to better understand and troubleshoot VPN and network behavior. Specific topics covered include: Block and stream symmetric ciphers, such as AES and RC4; and asymmetric ciphers, such as RSA and EIGamal Message authentication codes, including HMACs Tunneling technologies based on gtunnel SSL protocol for building network-to-network VPNs SSH protocols as drop-in replacements for telnet, ftp, and the BSD r-commands Lightweight VPNs, including VTun, CIPE, tinc, and OpenVPN IPsec, including its Authentication Header (AH) protocol, Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), and IKE (the key management protocol) Packed with details, the text can be used as a handbook describing the functions of the protocols and the message formats that they use. Source code is available for download, and an appendix covers publicly available software that can be used to build tunnels and analyze traffic flow. VPNs Illustrated gives you the knowledge of tunneling and VPN technology you need to understand existing VPN implementations and successfully create your own.

Book excerpt: Master building and integrating secure private networks using OpenVPN About This Book Discover how to configure and set up a secure OpenVPN Enhance user experience by using multiple authentication methods Delve into better reporting, monitoring, logging, and control with OpenVPN Who This Book Is For If you are familiar with TCP/IP networking and general system administration, then this book is ideal for you. Some knowledge and understanding of core elements and applications related to Virtual Private Networking is assumed. What You Will Learn Identify different VPN protocols (IPSec, PPTP, OpenVPN) Build your own PKI and manage certificates Deploy your VPN on various devices like PCs, mobile phones, tablets, and more Differentiate between the routed and bridged network Enhance your VPN with monitoring and logging Authenticate against third-party databases like LDAP or the Unix password file Troubleshoot an OpenVPN setup that is not performing correctly In Detail Security on the internet is increasingly vital to both businesses and individuals. Encrypting network traffic using Virtual Private Networks is one method to enhance security. The internet, corporate, and “free internet” networks grow more hostile every day. OpenVPN, the most widely used open source VPN package, allows you to create a secure network across these systems, keeping your private data secure. The main advantage of using OpenVPN is its portability, which allows it to be embedded into several systems. This book is an advanced guide that will help you build secure Virtual Private Networks using OpenVPN. You will begin your journey with an exploration of OpenVPN, while discussing its modes of operation, its clients, its secret keys, and their format types. You will explore PKI: its setting up and working, PAM authentication, and MTU troubleshooting. Next, client-server mode is discussed, the most commonly used deployment model, and you will learn about the two modes of operation using "tun" and "tap" devices. The book then progresses to more advanced concepts, such as deployment scenarios in tun devices which will include integration with back-end authentication, and securing your OpenVPN server using iptables, scripting, plugins, and using OpenVPN on mobile devices and networks. Finally, you will discover the strengths and weaknesses of the current OpenVPN implementation, understand the future directions of OpenVPN, and delve into the troubleshooting techniques for OpenVPN. By the end of the book, you will be able to build secure private networks across the internet and hostile networks with confidence. Style and approach An easy-to-follow yet comprehensive guide to building secure Virtual Private Networks using OpenVPN. A progressively complex VPN design is developed with the help of examples. More advanced topics are covered in each chapter, with subjects grouped according to their complexity, as well as their utility.
