| | This book is devoted to exploring one of the most
popular operating systems installed on servers: Linux. So far, this operating system has not been as popular
among home users as among professional administrators. There have been, however, developments of late that
make this system likely to capture a good segment of the home-computer operating system market. The operating
system is becoming easier to install all the time, and its graphical user interface and the ease of use often
give the most popular operating system among home users — Windows — a good run for its money.
Concentrating on Linux installation, tuning, and administration, this guide to protecting systems from
security attacks demonstrates how to install Linux so that it is tuned for the highest security and best
performance, how to scan the network and encrypt the traffic for securing all private traffics in a public
network, and how to monitor and log the system to detect potential security problems. Backup and recovery
policies that provide a structure for secure operations are also considered, and information related to
configuring an Apache server, e-mail service, and the Internet gateway using a proxy server, an FTP server,
DSN server for mapping DNS names to IP addresses, and firewall for system protection is provided. This book is
different from other books on the subject in that the security and performance are considered not in separate
chapters at the end of the book — doing this would be a big mistake — but throughout the book as
may be necessary. If a person acquires unproductive habits of working with the system, two chapters at the end
of the book as an afterthought will not break these wrong habits to teach the right ones. This is why the
performance and security of each area considered will be discussed immediately without putting it off until
the end of the book. TABLE OF CONTENT: Chapter 01 - Introduction Chapter 02 - Linux Installation and Initial
