Only the paranoid survive, and that is no less true when securing Linux systems as any other. Fortunately, a host of security features are built into the kernel, are packaged with one of the many Linux distributions, or are available separately as open source applicationsIn this series of three articles, you'll see how to plan, design, install,
configure, and maintain systems running Linux in a secure way. In addition to a
theoretical overview of security concepts, installation issues, and potential
threats and their exploits, you'll also get practical advice on how to secure
and harden a Linux-based system. We will discuss minimal installation, hardening
a Linux installation, authorization/authentication, local and network security,
attacks and how to protect against them, as well as data security, virus, and
malware programs.
