A good administrator needs to stay one step ahead of any adversaries, which often involves a continuing process of education. If you're grounded in the basics of security, however, you won't necessarily want a complete treatise on the subject each time you pick up a book. Sometimes you want to get straight to the point. That's exactly what the new \u003ci\u003eLinux Security Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e does. Rather than provide a total security solution for Linux computers, the authors present a series of easy-to-follow recipes--short, focused pieces of code that administrators can use to improve security and perform common tasks securely. The \u003ci\u003eLinux Security Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e includes real solutions to a wide range of targeted problems, such as sending encrypted email within Emacs, restricting access to network services at particular times of day, firewalling a webserver, preventing IP spoofing, setting up key-based SSH authentication, and much more. With over 150 ready-to-use scripts and configuration files, this unique book helps administrators secure their systems without having to look up specific syntax. The book begins with recipes devised to establish a secure system, then moves on to secure day-to-day practices, and concludes with techniques to help your system stay secure. Some of the \"recipes\" you'll find in this book are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eControlling access to your system from firewalls down to individual services, using iptables, ipchains, xinetd, inetd, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMonitoring your network with tcpdump, dsniff, netstat, and other tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtecting network connections with Secure Shell (SSH) and stunnel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSafeguarding email sessions with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEncrypting files and email messages with GnuPG\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProbing your own security with password crackers, nmap, and handy scripts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e This cookbook's proven techniques are derived from hard-won experience.
