Book Description:
This book is an introductory, tutorial-style text designed to give you a strong foundational knowledge of securing a Linux system. It teaches you how to securely install and run Linux as it comes shipped from most Linux distributors. Most other titles in this market focus on the use of tools and software not normally included with Linux. This book teaches fundamentals that you can take to other operating systems. This text is designed to provide a basic guide to resolving security issues involved in the use of Linux in workstation, small server, or small network environments.
Upon completion of this book, you will be able to:
• Configure basic TCP/IP security using TCP wrappers and packet filtering
• Secure network services like Samba, Sendmail, Apache, Network Files System, and BIND
• Encrypt network streams, X11R6 streams, file system data, and text (email) data
• Protect network traffic with the Secure Shell (SSH)
• Add Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) capability to the Apache Web server
• Secure authentication across your network with Kerberos
