pstrongTeaching computer and network security principles via hands-on activitiesstrongppUnique among computer security texts, this book, in its third edition, builds on the author's long tradition of teaching complex subjects through a hands-on approach. For each security principle, the book uses a series of hands-on activities to help explain the principle. Readers can touch, play with, and experiment with the principle, instead of just reading about it. The hands-on activities are based on the author's widely adopted SEED Labs, which have been used by over 1000 institutes worldwide. The author has also published online courses on Udemy based on this book.ppbrppstrongTopics covered in the bookstrongpp- Software security attacks and countermeasurespp- Web security attacks and countermeasurespp- Hardware security Meltdown and Spectre attackspp- Network security attacks on TCPIP and DNSpp- Firewall and Virtual Private Network VPNpp- Cryptography and attacks on algorithms and protocolspp-
