[Posted April 19, 2005 by ris]
developerWorks has an
introductory
article on hardening a Linux system. "
In this series of
articles, learn 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."
