Advanced Information Assurance Handbook
Wapiti-eater writes "Released 7th April by the CERT Coordination Center, the Advanced Information Assurance Handbook looks to be a good general coverage, how-to type starting point (283 pages). 'This handbook (pdf) is for technical staff members charged with administering and securing information systems and networks.' Dealing primarily with Win2K and Redhat systems, it contains good information applicable to almost any public facing system."
william hung is so fucking dreamy. i want to have his baby!
283 pages on how to type? Does that cover standard QWERTY keyboards, Dvorak and hunt and peck typing styles? Maybe it's full of pictures... I just can't think of that many instructions on how to type... and surely there's no need to teach platform specific methods, unless you're talking about Intel PC vs. Apple PC ;-p in that case it might be more like 566 pages....
A fool throws a stone into a well and a thousand sages can not remove it.
Seriously, though, there does seem to be a lot of good, if occasionally basic, advice here. I remember going through the guides the NSA compiled (warning: obnoxious legalese popup) ages ago, and I see some of the same advice here, e.g. remove the OS/2 and POSIX subsystems, etc.
