| LINUX SERVER SECURITY, 2ND EDITION |
Linux consistently appears high up in the list of popular internet-server operating systems, whether it’s for the web, anonymous ftp, or general services such as dns and delivering mail. but security is the foremost concern of anyone providing such a service. any server experiences casual probe attempts dozens of time a day, and serious break-in attempts with some frequency as well.
this highly regarded book, originally titled building secure servers with linux, combines practical advice with a firm knowledge of the technical tools needed to ensure server security. the book focuses on the most common use of linux—as a hub offering services to an organization or the internet—and shows readers how to harden their hosts against attacks. an all-inclusive resource for linux users who wish to harden their systems, linux server security covers general security, such as intrusion detection and firewalling a hub, as well as key services, such as dns, the apache web server, mail, and secure shell.
author michael d. bauer, a security consultant, network architect, and lead author of the popular paranoid penguin column in the linux journal, carefully outlines the security risks, defines precau¬tions that can minimize those risks, and offers recipes for robust security. he is joined on several chapters by administrator and developer bill lubanovic.
a number of new security topics have been added for this edition, including:
* database security, with a focus on mysql
* the use of openldap for authentication
* an introduction to email encryption
* the cyrus imap service, a popular mail delivery agent
* the vsftpd ftp server
geared toward linux users with little security expertise, linux server security explains security concepts and techniques in clear language, beginning with the fundamentals. the book provides a unique balance of “big picture” principles that transcend specific software packages and version numbers, and very clear procedures for securing some of those software packages on several pop¬ular distributions. with this book in hand, you’ll have both the expertise and the tools to comprehensively secure your linux system.
