I’ve been asked how secure is Linux. I answered, “Linux is secured by using tools cause it’s not totally secured on its own like any other OSes. It just comes in a better package that makes it less vulnerable.”

So how do we do that?

This book talks about different tools used for securing Linux. Having 11 chapters contain useful information and I think is worth reading. I myself benefitted on it too.

And from the authors: The only way to stop a hacker is to think like one.

I’ve been recommending this book to everyone (newly converts and the like). It discusses the most basic principle (how to install, which distro to choose) to more complicated topics (firewall, lamp). Basically it’s an all around book that’s why it’s called bible.
