Abstract:

The aim of this project is concentrated on producing a helpful guide on how to protect and secure a networked Unix server. It can be used as a security manual by System Administrators. It covers general and more specic aspects of Unix and network security. Recommendations are also given on protecting services like DNS, Mail and Web. Particular examples of the specic commands and conguration options are presented and analyzed after their integrity has been tested and veried. Great consideration was given so that they can be clearly followed. The whole implementation was based on Linux and open source software.
