Network Security using Linux which can be found at
This book covers basic TCP/IP and how to enable IPv6 on Linux. It also covers Linux routers, Snort, using MySQL with Snort, Firewalls, iptables, Logging of various types and more. It is not a in-depth book on each subject since each subject already has many books but it does give clear examples on the installation and basic configuration which will get you up and running.
This is a POD or Print on Demand book which is also available as a PDF for those who just can not wait
The POD is one reason that the book is only twenty bucks instead of the more common thirty to forty dollars.
The audience is not the advanced Linux geek but someone who is a bit more than a Newbie or the new security admin. It is for each chapter to be a stand-alone chapter so if you want to install Snort, you only need to read the one chapter.
The book is not distro specific other than it is about LINUX, not BSD or Unix although there are references to BSD and much will carry over. The examples use Red Hat 9, Fedora C1 and C2, SuSE 9.1 and Slackware 10. The book was written using OpenOffice 1.3 (it broke the 2.0 beta.. oops)
