The authors' approach to UNIX security is holistic and clever; they devote as much space to security philosophy as to advice about closing TCP ports and disabling unnecessary services. They also recognise that lots of UNIX machines are development platforms, and make many recommendations to consider as you design software. It's rare that you read a page in this carefully compiled book that does not impart some obscure nugget of knowledge, or remind you to implement some important policy. What's more, the authors have a style that reminds their readers that computing is supposed to be about intellectual exercise and fun, an attitude that's absent from too much of the information-technology industry lately. Read this book if you use any type of UNIX in any mission-critical situation. --David Wall
Topics covered: security risks (and ways to limit them) under Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. Coverage ranges from responsible system administration (including a selection of usernames and logins) to intrusion detection, break-in forensics and log analysis. --Robert Lawton, Amazon.com
