Résumé
Linux consistently turns up high in the list of popular
Internet servers, whether it's for the Web, anonymous FTP,
or general services like DNS and routing mail. But security
is uppermost on the mind of anyone providing such a
service. Any server experiences casual probe attempts
dozens of time a day, and serious break-in attempts with
some frequency as well.
As the cost of broadband and other high-speed Internet
connectivity has gone down, and its availability has
increased, more Linux users are providing or considering
providing Internet services such as HTTP, Anonymous FTP,
etc., to the world at large. At the same time, some
important, powerful, and popular Open Source tools have
emerged and rapidly matured--some of which rival expensive
commercial equivalents--making Linux a particularly
appropriate platform for providing secure Internet
services.
Building Secure Servers with Linux will help you
master the principles of reliable system and network
security by combining practical advice with a firm
knowledge of the technical tools needed to ensure security.
The book focuses on the most common use of Linux--as a hub
offering services to an organization or the larger
Internet--and shows readers how to harden their hosts
against attacks. Author Mick Bauer, a security consultant,
network architect, and lead author of the popular Paranoid
Penguin column in Linux Journal, carefully outlines the
security risks, defines precautions that can minimize those
risks, and offers recipes for robust security. The book
does not cover firewalls, but covers the more common
situation where an organization protects its hub using
other systems as firewalls, often proprietary
firewalls.
The book includes:
- Precise directions for securing common services, including the Web, mail, DNS, and file transfer.
- Ancillary tasks, such as hardening Linux, using SSH and certificates for tunneling, and using iptables for firewalling.
- Basic installation of intrusion detection tools.
Writing for Linux users with little security expertise, the author explains security concepts and techniques in clear language, beginning with the fundamentals. Building Secure Servers with Linux provides a unique balance of "big picture" principles that transcend specific software packages and version numbers, and very clear procedures on securing some of those software packages. An all-inclusive resource for Linux users who wish to harden their systems, the book covers general security as well as key services such as DNS, the Apache Web server, mail, file transfer, and secure shell.
With this book in hand, you'll have everything you need to ensure robust security of your Linux system.
