Vulnerability analysis, also known as vulnerability assessment, is a process that defines, identifies, and classifies the security holes (vulnerabilities) in a computer, network, or an application. In addition, vulnerability analysis can forecast the effectiveness of proposed countermeasures and evaluate their actual effectiveness after they are put into use. Vulnerability Analysis and Defense for the Internet provides packet captures, flow charts and psuedo code, which enable a user to identify if an application/protocol is vulnerable. If an application is vulnerable, then a user will be able to understand the complexity, and the theory behind the vulnerability. This edited volume also includes case studies where latest exploits are discussed.
