FreeBSD and OpenBSD are increasingly gaining traction in
educational institutions, non-profits, and corporations worldwide
because they provide significant security advantages over Linux.
Although a lot can be said for the robustness, clean organization, and
stability of the BSD operating systems, security is one of the main
reasons system administrators use these two platforms.
There are
plenty of books to help you get a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system off the
ground, and all of them touch on security to some extent, usually
dedicating a chapter to the subject. But, as security is commonly named
as the key concern for today's system administrators, a single chapter
on the subject can't provide the depth of information you need to keep
your systems secure.
FreeBSD and OpenBSD are rife with security "building blocks" that you can put to use, and Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security
shows you how. Both operating systems have kernel options and
filesystem features that go well beyond traditional Unix permissions
and controls. This power and flexibility is valuable, but the colossal
range of possibilities need to be tackled one step at a time. This book
walks you through the installation of a hardened operating system, the
installation and configuration of critical services, and ongoing
maintenance of your FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems.
Using an
application-specific approach that builds on your existing knowledge,
the book provides sound technical information on FreeBSD and Open-BSD
security with plenty of real-world examples to help you configure and
deploy a secure system. By imparting a solid technical foundation as
well as practical know-how, it enables administrators to push their
server's security to the next level. Even administrators in other
environments--like Linux and Solaris--can find useful paradigms to
emulate.
Written by security professionals with two decades of operating system experience, Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security
features broad and deep explanations of how how to secure your most
critical systems. Where other books on BSD systems help you achieve
functionality, this book will help you more thoroughly secure your
deployments.
