Almost every "student" wants to attack ... What about defense in depth ideas, studies and papers?

Hello all, im a PhD student and want to focus on network security, to be precise, i want to focus on Security in 
Transition Mechanisms, i have a good networking foundation from protocols to Network Address Translation which is 
important for most Transition Mechanisms there are in use. I know all about using Nmap for fingerprinting, Wireshark 
for capturing network traffic and Nessus for vulnerability detection and using Metaspoilt for actual exploitation and 
post exploitation attacks but i need some ideas on how to go about attacking NAT routers and other security issues 
associated with Network Address Translation, books, papers, articles would be great especially those that have the 
step-by-step guide of how to go about the attack.
Thank you in advance for all the help.
Ahmed Nahuche
