Linux Security Cookbook [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

A Cookbook About Security?!?

Computer security is an ongoing process, a constant contest between
system administrators and intruders. It needs to be monitored
carefully and revised frequently. So . . . how the heck can this
complex subject be condensed into a bunch of cookbook recipes?

Let's get one thing straight: this book is
absolutely not a total security solution for your Linux computers.
Don't even think it. Instead, we've
presented a handy guide filled with easy-to-follow recipes for

improving your security and performing common

tasks securely. Need a quick way to send
encrypted email within Emacs? It's in here. How
about restricting access to your network services at particular times
of day? Look inside. Want to firewall your web server? Prevent IP
spoofing? Set up key-based SSH authentication? We'll
show you the specific commands and configuration file entries you
need.

In short: this book won't teach you security, but it
will demonstrate helpful solutions to targeted problems, guiding you
to close common security holes, and saving you the trouble of looking
up specific syntax.
