Linux Server Security - Hack and Defend Chris Binnie 126 pages Wiley : ISBN: 978-1-119-27765-1
When I got this book, I looked at the fact that it is so thin and wondered if there would be enough covered in sufficient detail to make this a good book. Well, as they say, good things come in small packages and it’s true with this book.
Chris Binnie does a wonderful job taking the complex subject of Linux security into a comprehensive narrative. He states, right up front, that this book is not for everyone. In fact, he uses the phrase “mid-level admins, software hackers, and other IT professionals”. This however, doesn’t mean that a “normal” level person couldn’t do some research on a particular subject of interest, and then jump to Chris’s book for some higher level information.
Well laid out, the book provides information on both system AND network level hacks that you might encounter, and provides information on how to mitigate the potential damage as well as some software packages to help out that you might have not heard of.
Subjects covered include things like making your server invisible without disrupting services, how to turn the hacker’s favorite tools against them, learning how hackers identify your system’s weak points, how to defend against malware and DDoS attacks, and more…all packed into 126 pages.
I learned a tremendous amount of tips and tricks from this book and am happy to give it 5 out of 5 stars.
