Book synopsis

Individuals that wish to attack a companys network have found a new path of least resistance, the end user. A client- side attack is one that uses the naivety of the end user to create a foothold in the users machine and therefore the network. Client-side attacks are everywhere and hid in plain sight, common hiding places are malicious web sites and spam. A simple click of a link will allow the attacker to enter into the computer. This book presents a framework for defending your network against these attacks in an environment where it might seem impossible. A complete overview of the attacks currently active are discussed along with their delivery methods such as browser exploitation, use of rich internet applications, and file format vulnerabilities. Case studies are used to show the severity of these attacks and the actual defenses use can implement which include anti-virus and anti-spyware, intrusion detection, and end user education.
