This includes the tools available, why they are the right choices, and their installation, configuration, and usage methods. For any given function, this book covers both Windows- and Linux-based tools, as appropriate. This will benefit a wider reader base, as both operating systems are used in the networking community. Most of the Windows-based tools offer the advantage of GUI for case of use. On the other hand, Linux-based tools are command-line based and can be used in automated scripts. Both are significant for network administrators. At the end of every chapter is a list that covers the name, function, operating system, and website details of all the tools discussed.
