It is created to lower the cost on students, as many courses only need this part. It covers 16 of the 26 chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is based on the author's 18 years of teaching and research experience. It covers the fundamental principles in Internet security, including network security, web security, and cryptography. Its goal is to help readers understand how various attacks work, what their fundamental causes are, how to defend against them, and how various defense mechanisms work. The book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author strongly believes in \"\u003cstrong\u003elearning by doing\u003c\/strong\u003e\", so the book takes a hands-on approach. For each security principle, the book uses a series of hands-on activities to help explain the principle; readers can \"\u003cem\u003etouch\"\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eplay with\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eexperiment with\u003c\/em\u003e the principle, instead of just reading about it. For instance, if a security principle involves an attack, the book guides readers to actually launch the attack (in a contained environment). In some cases, if a principle involves a security mechanism, such as firewall or Virtual Private Network (VPN), the book guides readers to implement a mini-version of such a mechanism (e.g., mini-firewall or mini-VPN). Readers can learn better from such hands-on activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hands-on activities are based on the author's widely adopted SEED Labs, which have been used by over \u003cstrong\u003e1000 institutes\u003c\/strong\u003e in more than \u003cstrong\u003e65 countries\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 456\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92 x 9.25 x 7.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713348833343,"sku":"9781733003919","price":79.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/9516c9f3ba4107e3e2f05dc05bc5cc63.webp?v=1765064349","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/internet-security-a-hands-on-approach-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
