Nmap 6: Network Exploration and Security Auditing Cookbook
'Nmap 6 Network exploration and security auditing Cookbook' by Calderon Pale Paulino delivers a clear, comprehensive foundation in computer networking principles, protocol architectures, and network security. Bridging theoretical network models with practical troubleshooting, this text provides an essential understanding of how data moves across global networks.
The book covers the OSI and TCP/IP protocol stacks, Ethernet switching, IPv4 and IPv6 subnetting, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), transport protocols (TCP and UDP), application layer services (DNS, HTTP, DHCP), firewalls, VPNs, and packet analysis with Wireshark. Practical troubleshooting workflows are detailed throughout.
A foundational textbook for computer science students, IT support specialists, and network engineers building and securing enterprise communication networks.
