Synopsis: A practical and engaging guide to the fundamentals of computer networking, one of the most essential topics for anyone working in cybersecurity.

    Networking is the story of how the internet works. Readers learn how machines across the globe work together to make the internet run and secure user data -- as well as where a network is vulnerable and how it can be compromised
    The book focuses on the security aspects of networking, meaning it's much more tailored to cybersecurity professionals than its competitors
    Where most networking books are dry and convoluted, this book is a conversational, comprehensive, and humorous guide, with real-world examples and common hacking techniques that keep the reader interested without skimping on technical details
    The author guides the reader through safely trying out some networking hacking techniques, like stealing data from corporate networks, eavesdropping on Wi-Fi, and cracking passwords
