You'll learn how to conduct scientific experiments on everyday tools and procedures, whether you're evaluating corporate security systems, testing your own security product, or looking for bugs in a mobile game. Once author Josiah Dykstra gets you up to speed on the scientific method, he helps you focus on standalone, domain-specific topics, such as cryptography, malware analysis, and system security engineering. The latter chapters include practical case studies that demonstrate how to use available tools to conduct domain-specific scientific experiments. Learn the steps necessary to conduct scientific experiments in cybersecurity; explore fuzzing to test how your software handles various inputs; measure the performance of the Snort intrusion detection system; locate malicious "needles in a haystack" in your network and IT environment; evaluate cryptography design and application in IoT products; conduct an experiment to identify relationships between similar malware binaries; and understand system-level security requirements for enterprise networks and web services."--Publisher's description
