Inhaltsangabe

SSH (Secure Shell) is a TCP/IP-based solution to many network security and privacy concerns. It supports secure remote logins, secure file transfer between computers, and a unique "tunnelling" capability that adds encryption to otherwise insecure network applications. Best of all, SSH is free, with feature-filled commercial versions available as well. This text covers the Secure Shell in detail for both system administrators and end users. It demystifies the SSH man pages and includes thorough coverage of: SSH1, SSH2, OpenSSH, and F-Secure SSH for Unix, plus Windows and Macintosh products - the basics, the internals, and complex applications; configuring SSH servers and clients, both system-wide and per user, with recommended settings to maximize security; advanced key management using agents, agent forwarding, and forced commands; forwarding (tunnelling) of TCP and X11 applications in depth, even in the presence of firewalls and network address translation (NAT); undocumented behaviours of popular SSH implementations; installing and maintaining SSH systems; and troubleshooting a wide variety of common and not-so-common problems. Whether you're communicating on a small LAN or across the Internet, SSH can ship your data from "here" to "there" efficiently and securely. So throw away those insecure .rhosts and hosts.equiv files, move up to SSH, and make your network a safe place to live and work.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Daniel J. Barrett, Ph.D., has been immersed in Internet technology since 1985. Currently a software engineer and vice president at a well-known financial services company, Dan has also been a heavy metal singer, Unix system administrator, university lecturer, web designer, and humorist. Dan has written several other O'Reilly books, including NetResearch: Finding Information Online and Bandits on the Information Superhighway, as well as monthly columns for Compute! and Keyboard Magazine. He and his family reside in Boston. You may write to Dan at dbarrett@oreilly.com. Richard E. Silverman first touched a computer as a college junior in 1986, when he logged into a DEC-20, typed MM to send some mail, and was promptly lost to the world. He eventually resurfaced and discovered he had a career, which was convenient but somewhat disorienting, since he hadn't really been looking for one. Since earning his B.A. in computer science and M.A. in pure mathematics, Richard has worked in the fields of networking, formal methods in software development, public-key infrastructure, routing security, and Unix systems administration. Outside of work, he loves to read, study languages and mathematics, sing, dance, and exercise. You may write to Richard at res@oreilly.com.
