Description

Linux Server Security provides essential guidance for securing Linux servers and protecting against common threats. As a hub offering services to an organization or the Internet, Linux servers are frequently targeted by malicious attacks. This comprehensive resource covers general security measures such as intrusion detection and firewalling, as well as key services like DNS, Apache Web server, mail, and secure shell. Author Michael D. Bauer, a security consultant and network architect, offers practical advice on hardening systems against attacks. New to this edition are chapters on database security, using OpenLDAP for authentication, email encryption, the Cyrus IMAP service, and the vsftpd FTP server. With clear explanations of security concepts and techniques, this book is geared towards Linux users with little security expertise. By covering the fundamentals and providing recipes for robust security, Linux Server Security helps readers understand the security risks and take necessary precautions to minimize them.
