Maximize Linux security, hands-on-with today's best open source tools

If you depend on Linux to run mission-critical networks or store business-critical data, are you sure you can protect your Linux systems from intruders? You'd better be-and with Linux System Security, you can be!

Long-time Linux sysadmins Scott Mann and Ellen Mitchell demonstrate exactly how to protect your vital resources, using today's most powerful open source security tools. Linux System Security makes you an expert fast, with insiders' coverage of the "gotchas," "rules of thumb," and undocumented tricks you'd otherwise have to learn the hard way. Coverage includes:

• Preparing Linux systems for a production environment
• Identifying vulnerabilities, and planning for security administration
• Configuring Linux-based firewalls, authentication, and encryption
• Intrusion detection on Linux systems
• Securing filesystems, email, web servers, and other key applications
• Protecting mixed Linux/Unix and Windows NT environments

You'll find hands-on introductions to the Linux community's most important security tools, including sudo, TCP, wrappers, xinetd, SSH, tiger, Tripwire, ipchains, PAM, crack, and many others.

If you want the benefits of Linux without the security risks, you want Linux System Security!
