Description:
I wrote this book originally because no Linux security documentation existed back in the late 1990’s. Since then several Linux security books have been published, but in general they all have shortcomings (for example one of them spends 40 pages on cops, a largely obsolete tool). So anyways I’ve decided it’s time to update the book, which is one major advantage of doing this on the www. Currently it is April 2001, I’m hoping the major rewrite will be done by fall or winter of 2001 and then the LASG can go back into “maintenance” mode for a while
