After searching few forums I came across these titles,
Computer Networks, Andrew S. Tanenbaum , David J. WetherallComputer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, James F. Kurose, Keith W. RossTCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols (2nd Edition),Kevin R. Fall, W. Richard Stevens
Which one is more preferred over others? Any other books? I am more interested in practical exercises.
My goal is to learn, how do these hackers carry out DDoS and still remain anonymous, how do I prevent my website from such attacks, how do they take over a website and post their own messages, how does a network work.
Right now it looks like a magic to me. and I want to establish a technical details to it.
Thank you
