This book contains the proceedings of the Second European Conference on Computer Network Defence that took place in December 2006 at the Faculty of Advanced Technology, University of Glamorgan, in the UK. The theme of the conference was the protection of computer networks, with contributions from both national and international participants reporting on research developments, as well as providing valuable insights in this area. The book also incorporates the proceedings of the First Annual Workshop on Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis (WDFIA 2006), held in conjunction with EC2ND 2006. Topics and issues discussed include: Computer Network Operations Computer Network Attack Network Application Security Network Forensics Web Security Vulnerability Management and Tracking Network Defence Wireless and Mobile Security Cryptography Network Discovery and Mapping Network Security Intrusion Detection Systems Incident Response and Management Computer Forensics Practice Malicious Software Analysis Network Architectures and Management Legal and Ethical Issues The papers presented include contributions from leading figures in the fields of network security and computer forensics, and are a valuable source of reference for both researchers and practitioners.
