Cyber Operations walks you through all the processes to set up, defend, and attack
computer networks. This book focuses on networks and real attacks, offers extensive
coverage of offensive and defensive techniques, and is supported by a rich collection of
exercises and resources.

You'll learn how to configure your network from the ground up, starting by setting up
your virtual test environment with basics like DNS and active directory, through common
network services, and ending with complex web applications involving web servers and
backend databases.

Key defensive techniques are integrated throughout the exposition. You will develop
situational awareness of your network and will build a complete defensive infrastructure
including log servers, network firewalls, web application firewalls, and intrusion
detection systems.

Of course, you cannot truly understand how to defend a network if you do not know
how to attack it, so you will attack your test systems in a variety of ways beginning
with elementary attacks against browsers and culminating with a case study of the
compromise of a defended e-commerce site.

The author, who has coached his universitys cyber defense team three times to the finals
of the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, provides a practical, hands-on
approach to cyber security.
