Hardening Linux

Apress has already published leading hardening titles, and welcomes the newest addition: Hardening Linux. If you're responsible for protecting computers that run on Linux, then this highly valuable book will show you how. Crucial topics such as file security, enhanced email security, and IMAP, DNS and FTP servers are all discussed. You will also become familiar with hardening bastion hosts—including firewalling with iptables, and secure remote access functionality using tools like OpenSSH.

As with our other hardening titles, Hardening Linux is complete with checklists and reference-style chapters. Each chapter may be used as a stand-alone "how to" for that particular application. Furthermore, a selection of additional resources is provided, including websites, mailing lists, and other reading suggestions for you to enhance your knowledge base.
