Legal Issues & Education Technology: A School Leader's Guide
School districts that use new technologies without establishing strong usage policies can incur legal liability and jeopardize the safety and privacy of students, faculty, and staff. This book, written in plain language by leading members of NSBA’s Council of School Attorneys, helps you tackle the challenge of striking a healthy balance between protection and open communications. Readers are guided through the top issues – Internet filtering, acceptable use policies for Internet access, copyright and fair use, privacy rights, and freedom of expression – as well as peripheral questions on topics such as open meeting "sunshine" laws for school boards, attorney/client privilege, sexual harassment, Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, and Year 2000 "computer bug" preparedness. |
Intrusion Signatures and Analysis
The book documents scores of attacks on systems of all kinds, showing exactly what security administrators should look for in their logs and commenting on attackers' every significant command.
Network Intrusion Detection: An Analysts' Handbook
This handbook explains some of what you need to know to prevent unauthorized accesses of your networked computers and minimize the damage intruders can do. It emphasizes, though, proven techniques for recognizing attacks while they're underway. Without placing too much emphasis (or blame, for that matter) on any operating system or other software product, author Stephen Northcutt explains ways to spot suspicious behavior and deal with it, both automatically and manually.
Hacking Exposed (2nd Edition)
Readers see what programs are out there, get a rundown on what the programs can do, and benefit from detailed explanations of concepts (such as wardialing and rootkits) that most system administrators kind of understand, but perhaps not in detail. The book also walks through how to use the more powerful and popular hacker software, including L0phtCrack. This new edition has been updated extensively, largely with the results of "honeypot" exercises (in which attacks on sacrificial machines are monitored) and Windows 2000 public security trials. There's a lot of new stuff on e-mail worms, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and attacks that involve routing protocols.
