Book Description
"Hardening" is the process of protecting a system and its applications against unknown threats. And Hardening Linux will explain the main steps that any Network or Systems Administrator needs to take, to protect his computers that run on Linux. This book discusses security of mail servers, web servers, and file servers, as well as hardening IP tables and remote access functionality.
Written in a similar manner to Hardening Windows and Hardening Apache, complete with checklists and reference-style chapters, Hardeing Linux shows Apress commitment to publishing books that appeal to the security professional.
Publisher Description
"Hardening" is the process of protecting a system and its applications against unknown threats. Hardening Linux identifies many of the risks of running Linux hosts and applications and provides practical examples and methods to minimize those risks.
Customer Reviews & Comments
I thought this might just be a book on iptables and other firewalls, but it's much more. In 400 pages, this covers everything from initial installation right through what to do if you did get breached. It covers email security, ftp, dns and bind, ssh, file systems, pam authentication, firewalls, penetration testing and more. The really impressive thing is that everything is covered well - obviously some of these subjects could be hundreds of pages by themselves, but the author manages to succintly present the important concepts. I'd certainly recommend this to anyone running a Linux box.
