Part II. Network Stalking

Part II lays the foundation for understanding the network attacks presented later in the book. In Chapter 6, we review security aspects of TCP/IP, including IPV6, and we cover fragmentation attack tools and techniques. Chapter 7 takes a unique approach to social engineering, using psychological theories to explore possible attacks. Chapter 8 moves into network reconnaissance, while in Chapter 9 we cover OS fingerprinting, including passive fingerprinting and novel tools such as XProbe and Ring. Chapter 10 provides an advanced look at how hackers hide their tracks, including anti-forensics and IDS evasion.
