Attacking Network Protocols is a deep-dive into network vulnerability discovery from James Forshaw, Microsoft's top bug hunter. This comprehensive guide looks at networking from an attacker's perspective to help you find, exploit, and ultimately protect vulnerabilities.

Part I starts with a rundown of networking basics and traffic capture, as it builds a foundation for analyzing a network. Part II moves on to protocol analysis, both static and dynamic; you'll learn about common protocol structures, cryptography, and protocol security, and how to reverse engineer code with IDA Pro,...
