Building secure servers with linux will help you master the principles of reliable system and network security by combining practical advice with a firm knowledge of the technical tools needed to ensure security. The book focuses on the most common use of linux--as a hub offering services to an organization or the larger internet--and shows readers how to harden their hosts against attacks. Author mick bauer, a security consultant, network architect, and lead author of the popular paranoid penguin column in linux journal, carefully outlines the security risks, defines precautions that can minimize those risks, and offers recipes for robust security. The book does not cover firewalls, but covers the more common situation where an organization protects its hub using other systems as firewalls, often proprietary firewalls.
