This book provides system administrators with all of the information as well as software they need to run Ethereal Protocol Analyzer on their networks.

The last part of the book provides readers with advanced information on using reports generated by Ethereal to both fix security holes and optimize network performance. Provides insider information on how to optimize performance of Ethereal on enterprise networks. Book comes with a CD containing Ethereal, Tethereal, Nessus, Snort, ACID, Barnyard, and more!
