Once again I have completed my transformation from something sleepy and in drastic need of evolution to a vaguely mammalian creature in search of caffeine. Also, the 120 new emails overnight, on a variety of interesting topics don't help matters. One thing about writing and working is true - the hours suck. The links I was talking about yesterday - here they are. From rootprompt.org, an article by Lance Spitzner called Auditing Your Firewall Setup .
Lance writes clearly, with lots of outlinks to various related resources.
Then there's another couple of Spitzner articles I found on his site, Armoring Linux , and for the NT crowd, just to keep things fair, Armoring NT . While these are not security bibles, there are lots of good, solid tips and tricks for system security. Lastly for now, Roger Clarke's notes on CFP , which ended last week. Have a look about, in a spare hour or so. The farm still lives, although the birds ransacked Marcia's Thyme - guess it makes the nest smell better or something.
