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 recognising 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 carefully. 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

Linux machines serve scores of purposes on networks but their very integration with networked environments means they're constantly exposed to attack. Maximum Linux Security: A Hacker's Guide to Protecting Your Linux Server and Network provides a comprehensive picture of Linux's strengths and weaknesses when it comes to protecting your systems from bad guys. The author offers explicit advice (e.g., replace sendmail with Qmail)and general recommendations (e.g., be on the lookout for unused services and disable them). In case you're wondering which Anonymous this is, he's the same guy who wrote the very highly regarded Maximum Security.In Maximum Linux Security, readers become familiar with scores of offensive and defensive weapons, including Crack, Tripwire, linux_sniffer, mendax and many more. For each program, the author documents the required infrastructure (such as C or Perl), the required permissions and a URL from which the program can be downloaded. Most valuably, he walks you through the use of each program (using Red Hat Linux 5.1 and Caldera Open Linux 1.3 on his test bed machines). Readers can follow along as the author performs various hacks, including an IP spoofing attack. He lists hundreds of hacking tools in an appendix and includes a lot of software (Linux security products, code examples, technical documents, system logs

A competent system administrator knows that a Linux server is a high performance system for routing large amounts of information through a network connection. Setting up and maintaining a Linux server requires understanding not only the hardware, but the ins and outs of the Linux operating system along with its supporting cast of utilities as well as layers of applications software. There's basic documentation online but there's a lot beyond the basics you have to know, and this only comes from people with hands-on, real-world experience. This kind of "know how" is what we sought to capture in Linux Server Hacks.
Linux Server Hacks is a collection of 100 industrial-strength hacks, providing tips and tools that solve practical problems for Linux system administrators. Every hack can be read in just a few minutes but will save hours of searching for the right answer. Some of the hacks are subtle, many of them are non-obvious, and all of them demonstrate the power and flexibility of a Linux system. You'll find hacks devoted to tuning the Linux kernel to make your system run more efficiently, as well as using CVS or RCS to track the revision to system files. You'll learn alternative ways to do backups, how to use system monitoring tools to track system performance and a variety of secure networking solutions. Linux Server Hacks also helps you manage large-s
Offers practical knowledge for managing a complete range of Linux systems and servers. This book summarizes the steps you need to build products ranging from standalone SOHO hubs, web servers, and LAN servers to load balanced clusters and servers consolidated through virtualization. It also teaches you to back up data and create shell scripts.
Get up to speed in a hurry on the Linux operating system and open source software in general with this clearly-written, step-by-step guide to building a Linux server. Using CentOS Linux makes this book applicable to RedHat Enterprise Linux and Fedora Linux. You'll learn how to build a complete Linux system from basic installation to more advanced topics including a file and print server, web services, mail services, and other network services. You'll learn the hidden commands used by Linux and Unix pros to run their systems at top performance. You'll see the best ways to monitor and optimize systems. You'll customize the Linux logging facility to provide exactly the information you need to fine tune and troubleshoot your Linux system. You'll learn how to integrate your Linux systems and your Windows systems to deliver network and desktop services to your users. You'll see how to share resources in a Linux network by extending the file system from one machine to another. Of course, there's much more. Check the index for complete details.
