Summary: An easy-to-use resource
Review: The latest contribution of Jay Beale's Open Source Security Series, Ethereal Packet Sniffing is the first reference book to cover the "packet sniffer" security tool that has become widely used among network administrators. Individual chapters of Ethereal Packet Sniffing cover installing and using Ethereal: Network Protocol Analyzer in Unix, Linux, or Windows, filters, associated other programs that come packaged with Ethereal such as Tethereal and Editcap, integrating Ethereal with other sniffers, developing Ethereal and its design tools, and much more. An easy-to-use resource filled with screenshots, sample code, and step-by-step examples and instructions. An accompanying CD contains Ethereal itself, including installation, reference, and packet capture files, complete with a 1 year upgrade buyer protection plan, making Ethereal Packet Sniffing more than just a supplementary guide; it's computer software with a far more exhaustive starter guide than any tiny little owner's manual can offer.
