Linux Security Cookbook by Daniel J Barrett
Computer security is an ongoing process, a relentless contest between system administrators and intruders. This is a series of easy-to-follow recipes - short, focused pieces of code that administrators can use to improve security and perform common tasks securely.
"I really enjoyed this bookI think my machine is more secure than before I read this book. The advice is good and pitched at, for me, the right level. References were up-to-date ad far as I could see. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone wanting to secure, or test the esisting security, of a Linux system." - Mick Farmer, Linux Security Cookbook - news@UK, September 2003
