Silence on the Wire (English, Michal Zalewski)

Brilliant

Michael Zalewski has managed to capture so much into this book, without making it very heavy reading. A ver well written book about something which is extremely hard to write about.In this book he brings out a whole new other perspective on security issues, giving enough information to understand everything, without over complicating things. Absolutely fantastic and would definitely recommend to anyone with a bit of knowledge in computing and a lot of interest in cyber security and is curious to how data is transferred from one end point to another.

but what am I looking at here" department *** Silence on the Wire **** does not disappoint! Nothing in this book is fluff

I've found most network monitoring books lacking in the "ok... but what am I looking at here" department *** Silence on the Wire **** does not disappoint! Nothing in this book is fluff! There is amazing technical detail and examples provided for each topic. It is priceless for anyone doing SOC work or penetration testing that wants to understand the "why" not just the "how".This book really isn't written for the green analyst with little exposure and/or understanding of the content - THAT SAID, I encourage the novice to grabb it and give it a go. It will quickly open your eyes to any knowledge gaps while giving resources to learning more. Read it - stop when you hit something you don't know - then go learn about it and come back.For the experienced SOC pro, I'd be money there's tons in here you didn't know that you didn't know!! I've worked SOC for years and every time I pick this up, I learn something new or something is made more clear. Highly recommended!

Sehr informativ und kurzweilig

Habe das Buch aus allgemeinem Interesse am Thema gekauft und war begeistert davon, wie der Autor das Buch inhaltlich aufgebaut hat und wie kurzweilig die teils sehr detaillierten technischen Ausführungen zu lesen sind.Neben dem, was man zum Thema Daten'lecks' lernt, nimmt man als Leser quasi "im Vorbeigehen" auch eine Menge an technischem Detailwissen über einzelne Stellen in Computern und Netzwerkgeräten auf, was ich als einen großen Pluspunkt sehe.Alle behandelten Themen werden ausreichend ausgeführt, so dass ein grundlegendes Verständnis dafür da ist, was hier eigentlich das Problem ist und warum es sich ausnutzen und nicht "einfach" lösen lässt.Es schadet sicher nichts, ein bisschen Vorkenntnisse über den Aufbau von Computern und Netzwerken zu haben, ganz ohne dieses wird man während dem Lesen öfter inne halten und Wikipedia befragen müssen.

Fascinating essay that will make you look at security differently

There is no magic in networks, computers and security. And this book exposes this clearly. A delightful read for software heads, this essay will make you think about your daily computer use differently. About side-channels and out-of-band information leaks. About all sorts of "silent" (as in unseen and unthought) vulnerabilities exist.A *must* for security professionals.

Five Stars

Great book, very detailed
