Whether you're a security practitioner, developer, manager, or administrator, this book will give you the deep understanding necessary
to meet today's security challenges--and anticipate tomorrow's.
Unlike most books, The Craft of System Security doesn't just review the modern
security practitioner's toolkit: It explains why each tool exists, and discusses how to use it to solve real problems.
After quickly reviewing the history of
computer security, the authors move on to discuss the modern landscape, showing how security challenges and responses have evolved, and offering a coherent framework
for understanding today's systems and vulnerabilities.
Next, they systematically introduce the basic building blocks for securing contemporary systems,
apply those building blocks to today's applications, and consider important emerging trends such as hardware-based security.

structures--with examples from Windows, Linux, BSD, and Solaris
