What This Book Doesn't Cover
This book covers general Linux system security, perimeter
(Internet-accessible) network security, and server-application
security. Specific procedures, as well as tips for specific
techniques and software tools, are discussed throughout, and
differences between the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, SUSE 9, and
Debian 3 GNU/Linux distributions are addressed in detail.This book does not cover the following topics
explicitly or in detail: Linux distributions besides Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, and Debian,
although with regard to application security (which amounts to the
better part of the book), this shouldn't be a
problem for users of Slackware, Turbolinux, etc. Other open source operating systems such as OpenBSD (again, much of
what is covered should be relevant, especially
application security) Applications that are inappropriate for or otherwise unlikely to be
found on publicly accessible systems (e.g., Samba) Desktop (non-networked) applications Dedicated firewall systems (this book contains a
subset of what is required to build a good
firewall system) Physical security, which admittedly is extremely important but is not
in any way unique to Linux systems
