Introduction to Computer Networks and Cybersecurity - A Review
Computer networks and cybersecurity are two of the most important and relevant topics in today's world. They affect almost every aspect of our personal and professional lives, from communication and entertainment to commerce and security. Therefore, it is essential to have a solid understanding of the basic principles and fundamentals of these fields, as well as the current trends and challenges they face.
One of the books that aims to provide such an understanding is Introduction to Computer Networks and Cybersecurity, written by Chwan-Hwa (John) Wu and J. David Irwin. This book is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the theory and practice of computer networks and cybersecurity, covering both the hardware and software aspects of these domains. It also includes numerous examples, exercises, case studies, and projects that illustrate the concepts and applications of the topics covered.
The book is divided into four parts: Part I introduces the basics of computer networks, such as network architectures, protocols, standards, and applications. Part II covers the core topics of data transmission, such as signal encoding, multiplexing, error detection, and data link control. Part III focuses on network layer issues, such as routing, congestion control, quality of service, and network security. Part IV explores the transport layer and application layer topics, such as TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, email, web security, and network management.
The book also covers some advanced topics in computer networks and cybersecurity, such as wireless networks, mobile networks, cloud computing, peer-to-peer networks, network virtualization, network simulation, cryptography, authentication, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, malware analysis, digital forensics, ethical hacking, and cyber warfare.
The book is suitable for undergraduate students who want to learn the fundamentals of computer networks and cybersecurity, as well as for professionals who want to update their knowledge and skills in these fields. The book assumes some background in basic mathematics, logic, programming, and electronics, but does not require any prior knowledge of computer networks or cybersecurity.
The book is available in both print and electronic formats. The print version has 1336 pages and is published by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group. The electronic version is available in PDF and EPUB formats from various online sources.
In conclusion, Introduction to Computer Networks and Cybersecurity is a comprehensive and accessible book that covers both the theory and practice of computer networks and cybersecurity. It provides a solid foundation for students and professionals who want to learn or update their knowledge in these fields.
