The combination of Sybex's best-selling CCNA Study Guide and the e-trainer network simulation software mesh wonderfully. In fact, if truth be told they were always intended to be sold as one unit; the book contains a lot of rote exercises that are just jumbles of instructions if you're not sitting at a terminal, and the CD comes with practically no instructions at all. But put together in the CCNA Certification Kit, they create a force to be reckoned with.
But first, let's get what's in this little bundle of joy listed for you. The CCNA Study Guide is a densely written but comprehensive tome; the writing can be intimidating at times, but Lammle is to be commended for trying to show the reader the reasons why certain networking topics work, as opposed to just giving you lists of items to memorise. The concepts become particularly daunting during the chapters involving TCP/IP subnetting and VLAN trunking--but meticulous rereading will reward you not only with an exam-passing knowledge, but a deep understanding that will serve you well in the corporate world. There are only two slight disappointments: one, the chapter on WAN networking is a trifle light compared to the fact-packed density of the rest of the book; and two, this book is not for absolute beginners, as it skips very quickly over essential concepts such as Ethernet networking and cabling types.
A large portion of the guide consists of simple exercises to be run on Cisco routers--which is normally a problem for the CCNA student. Most people don't have access to, and cannot afford, the roughly �15000 in equipment it takes to set up a sample lab. But that's where the CCNA Virtual Lab e-trainer comes in; it's a software package that emulates a network that consists of three Cisco routers, a Catalyst 1900 switch and a couple of WAN links.
For what it does at the price, it does it well. It's not a fully fledged simulation by any means, but it does emulate most of the basic commands well enough for you to pass--and the amount of learning you'll get from the "hands on" experience is exponentially better than any amount of book learning. Tinkering around with your own setup will help you remember the oft-cryptic Cisco commands and password levels better than anything else, and the exercises given to you in the study guide will suddenly become fully fledged workshops that expand your learning.
Now there are those who have criticized the Virtual Lab for many reasons: Not all of the basic commands are adequately supported, the interface is very clunky, there are known bugs and it's useless beyond anything but the CCNA level. But there is a saying in the industry that should be well-taken here: "Close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades." Yes, there are better Cisco simulator programs. Yes, there are cheaper ones. But no other offering has the range of features and depth that you'll find at this price, and most importantly, it's enough to pass. --William Steinmetz, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Guide to Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless communication technologies continue to undergo rapid advancement. The attractiveness of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN)s, in general, can be attributed to their characteristics: the ability to dynamically self-organize and self-configure, coupled with the ability to maintain mesh connectivity, leads in effect to low set-up/installation costs, simpler maintenance tasks, and service coverage with high reliability and fault-tolerance. As a result, WMNs have found many useful applications in a broad range of domains.
WMNs represent a key technology for future generation wireless networks, and this broad-ranging and comprehensive guidebook presents new ideas and results from research to address the challenges ahead. This unique resource describes all the fundamental key topics and covers both the important core and specialized issues in the field. Each chapter is written by topical area experts, with the first chapters devoted to the basics of WMNs and subsequent ones dealing with some of the more specialist topics, such as the WiMAX metro area mesh networks and the symbiosis of cognitive radio with WMNs.
Features:
• Provides an accessible, comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art technology of Wireless Mesh Networks
• Includes reader-friendly discussions for practitioners, directions for future research, helpful lists of terms and definitions, and summary questions within in each chapter
• Offers a set of questions to help readers assess their understanding of the various concepts at the end of each chapter
• Presents insight into the practical significance of these topics in real-world scenarios
• Designed, in structure and content, to aid the learning process with the intension of making the book useful at all learning levels
• Supplies supportive presentation PowerPoint slides and solutions to aid lecturers at www.springer.com/978-1-84800-908-0
With contributions by some of the most prominent researchers in the field today, this book will be an invaluable reference/text to WMNs for researchers and practitioners. In addition, its pedagogical tools can make it eminently suitable as a textbook for graduate students wishing to learn more about the topic.
Key Topics:
WMNs and MANETs
Medium Access
Routing and Channel Assignment
Routing Metrics
Congestion and Transport Layer Issues
Multi-network Convergence and Scalability
Mobility

Firewalls for Dummies second Edition

What an amazing world we live in! Almost anything you can imagine can be researched, compared, admired, studied, and in many cases, bought, with the click of a mouse. The Internet has changed our lives, putting a world of opportunity before us. Unfortunately, it has also put a world of opportunity into the hands of those whose motives are less than honorable. A firewall, a piece of software or hardware that erects a barrier between your computer and those who might like to invade it, is one solution.

Offensive Security 101 v2.0

“Offensive Security 101 v.2.0″ is a course designed for network administrators and security professionals who need to get acquainted with the world of offensive security. The course introduces the latest hacking tools and techniques, and includes remote live labs for exercising the material presented to the students.
This course gives a solid understanding of the penetration testing process, and is equally important for those wanting to either defend or attack their network.
Offensive Security 101 v.2.0 qualifies you for 40 ISC2 CPE Credits. This applies to students who submit their exercise documentation at the end of the course, or pass the certification challenge.
The need to understand the attacker and his methods is vital for better defending our networks.“Offensive Security” is designed for System Administrators and security professionals who want to get acquainted with the world of Offensive Security, but do not have the time to spend on a full blown course. This course will introduce the basic (and not so basic) vectors of attack in a safe and secluded “Offensive-Security” lab environment.
Prerequisites
• The student must have a solid understanding of Network Administration and TCP/IP, and a reasonable level of familiarity with Linux, in order to complete the course.
• A modern PC, with the capability of displaying full screen video and sound.
• A fast Internet connection to view or download the Videos.
• A fast Internet connection to connect to the Offensive Security Labs over VPN.
Course Description
“Offensive Security” is not your usual IT security course. The labs are challenging and the exercises are hard, often requiring a certain degree of personal research and self study. It is vital that you meet the technical prerequisites as stated above, otherwise you might find yourself lost as the course progresses.In many cases, previous knowledge is assumed and theoretical explanations are shortened or referenced, in case the student needs a refresher. Please note, we do not have a refund policy – it is your
responsibility to make sure you meet the mentioned technical requirements.However, if you do meet the technical requirements, this course will very quickly expose you to the
world of Offensive Security, and teach you the inner workings, tools and methodologies of modern day attackers.
