But security is the foremost concern 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. This highly regarded book, originally titled \u003ci\u003eBuilding Secure Servers with Linux\u003c\/i\u003e, combines 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 Internet--and shows readers how to harden their hosts against attacks. An all-inclusive resource for Linux users who wish to harden their systems, \u003ci\u003eLinux Server Security\u003c\/i\u003e covers general security such as intrusion detection and firewalling a hub, as well as key services such as DNS, the Apache Web server, mail, and secure shell. Author Michael D. Bauer, a security consultant, network architect, and lead author of the popular Paranoid Penguin column in the \u003ci\u003eLinux Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, carefully outlines the security risks, defines precautions that can minimize those risks, and offers recipes for robust security. He is joined on several chapters by administrator and developer Bill Lubanovic. A number of new security topics have been added for this edition, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatabase security, with a focus on MySQL \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing OpenLDAP for authentication \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction to email encryption \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cyrus IMAP service, a popular mail delivery agent \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe vsftpd FTP server\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e Geared toward Linux users with little security expertise, the author explains security concepts and techniques in clear language, beginning with the fundamentals. \u003ci\u003eLinux Server Security\u003c\/i\u003e 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 on several popular distributions. With this book in hand, you'll have both the expertise and the tools to comprehensively secure your Linux system.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael D.
