Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Linux continues to gain acceptance as a high-level operating system that's ready for serious corporate enterprise-level computing. When running Internet or file servers, Linux is more reliable, more flexible, more cost-effective, and even faster in some cases than Windows 2000/NT. This means that more and more companies are running Linux on their Web and internal file servers, and that more and more network administrators, used to how things work on Windows 2000/NT servers, will need a crash course on the vulnerabilities of Linux systems, and which holes they're going to need to plug in order to protect themselves from outside attacks. Maximum Linux Security, Second Edition fills this need.
Amazon.com Review
As we've all become well aware lately, every complex system has flaws. When the complex system is a computer operating system, such as Linux, or a piece of software running under it, those flaws can provide black-hat hackers with the access they need to steal your data, damage your system, or use your computing resources as a base for attacking other computers. Maximum Linux Security reveals security holes in Linux and does so explicitly. You can follow instructions in this book and break into unsecured Linux machines in a variety of ways. The newest edition of this book includes newer information about Linux security exploits and updated links to information and tools. The anonymous author of this book has done a fine job of recognizing that his readers, despite the fact that they're probably pretty accomplished power users just because they're messing around with Linux, aren't really experienced with Linux or with computer security. He's careful to explain his subjects precisely. For example, he goes to considerable effort to explain how to set up user accounts properly (with emphasis on preventing obvious security holes), in addition to documenting offensive and defensive weapons like SAINT and Crack. Most entries on software include URL references to the latest versions, as well as cross-references to related programs. --David Wall Topics covered: Good Linux security practice, as well as specific malicious software packages and ways to defend against them.
