It has 694 pages explaining how to secure your Linux or UNIX systems in
an easy-to-understand step-by-step method, with many examples showing
exactly what to expect when doing building, installation, and configuration.
It is not simply a recipe; it explains why these things are important.
There is plenty of humor and discussion of actual break-ins, why they
occurred, and how to prevent them.

Varying danger levels are noted by one to five skull-and-crossbones symbols
so you know which problems most deserve your attention.

Its extensive cross-referencing (including page numbers), Index,
and design also allow it to be used as a reference for investigating
particular areas of concern.

It can be ordered from any of:
