Python Passive Network Mapping

"Python Passive Network Mapping: P2NMAP" is the first book to reveal a

revolutionary and open source method for exposing nefarious network activity.

The "Heartbleed" vulnerability has revealed significant weaknesses within

enterprise environments related to the lack of a definitive mapping of network

assets. In "Python Passive Network Mapping," Chet Hosmer shows you how to

effectively and definitively passively map networks. Active or probing methods

to network mapping have traditionally been used, but they have many drawbacks

\- they can disrupt operations, crash systems, and - most importantly - miss

critical nefarious activity. You require an accurate picture of the

environments you protect and operate in order to rapidly investigate,

mitigate, and then recover from these new attack vectors. This book gives you

a deep understanding of new innovations to passive network mapping, while

delivering open source Python-based tools that can be put into practice

immediately.

"Python Passive Network Mapping "is for practitioners, forensic investigators,

IT teams, and individuals who work together when performing incident response

and investigating potential damage, or are examining the impacts of new

malware threats. Those defending critical infrastructures will have a special

interest inthis book, as active or probing methods of network mapping are

rarely used within these environments as any resulting impacts can be

disastrous. "Python Passive Network Mapping "is ideally suited for use as a

text in a variety of academic programs to expose and engage students in the

art of passively mapping enterprise networks, with the added benefit of

providing exposure to open source Python solutions.
