Best Linux Security Books?

Posted by Cliff on from the resources-for-locking-down-Linux dept.

RyuMaou asks: "I'm about to move a small company from an old, ailing Windows server to some flavor of Linux and I want to make sure they're proprietary information is safe. Here's the problem: I've only run Linux as an application server, behind the firewall, in a Novell environment. Time is short and I have limited resources and want to read at least one really great book on Linux security, then follow that up with some good reinforcement. I know the information is mostly available on the Internet for free, but I like reading actual books, not printouts. So, if you had to pick five books, or fewer, on Linux security, what would you read?"

    Linux security books?

    That's like asking for Ehiopian cookbooks, man.

    OpenBSD, daddy-o.

    I was going to suggest picking up a dictionary with the Linux Security books, but you beat me to it. Nicely done :-)

    He really doesn't need a book, because Linux is 100% secure right out of the box... which is his reasoning for moving to it.

    Right?

    Oh dear.
