| LINUX SECURITY COOKBOOK |
Computer security is an ongoing process, a relentless contest between system administrators and intruders. a good administrator needs to stay one step ahead of any adversaries, which often involves a continuing process of education. if you're grounded in the basics of security, however, you won't necessarily want a complete treatise on the subject each time you pick up a book. sometimes you want to get straight to the point. that's exactly what the new linux security cookbook does. rather than provide a total security solution for linux computers, the authors present a series of easy-to-follow recipes--short, focused pieces of code that administrators can use to improve security and perform common tasks securely.
the linux security cookbook includes real solutions to a wide range of targeted problems, such as sending encrypted email within emacs, restricting access to network services at particular times of day, firewalling a webserver, preventing ip spoofing, setting up key-based ssh authentication, and much more. with over 150 ready-to-use scripts and configuration files, this unique book helps administrators secure their systems without having to look up specific syntax. the book begins with recipes devised to establish a secure system, then moves on to secure day-to-day practices, and concludes with techniques to help your system stay secure.
some of the "recipes" you'll find in this book are:
* controlling access to your system from firewalls down to individual services, using iptables, ipchains, xinetd, inetd, and more
* monitoring your network with tcpdump, dsniff, netstat, and other tools
* protecting network connections with secure shell (ssh) and stunnel
* safeguarding email sessions with secure sockets layer (ssl)
* encrypting files and email messages with gnupg
* probing your own security with password crackers, nmap, and handy scripts
this cookbook's proven techniques are derived from hard-won experience. whether you're responsible for security on a home linux system or for a large corporation, or somewhere in between, you'll find valuable, to-the-point, practical recipes for dealing with everyday security issues. this book is a system saver.
