Absolute BSD: The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD Absolute BSD focuses on FreeBSD's features, benefits, and strengths - specifically on using BSD systems as high-performance Internet servers. Designed for new system administrators with basic UNIX knowledge who want to accomplish essential tasks with the FreeBSD operating system, the book's main focus is on FreeBSD, but much of its information is also applicable to OpenBSD and NetBSD. BSD-specific features are covered, such as how to build a high-performance server, secure it, prepare crash dumps, and interoperate with other network servers. A troubleshooting section that addresses problems that a new FreeBSD administrator might encounter is also included.
Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF MAKE YOUR NETWORK SECURE WITH OPENBSD AND PF!
Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF Now Available
LUBLIN, Poland, July 3, 2003 - the OpenBSD operating system and its excellent pf packet filter are among the best open source network security tools. To help users of OpenBSD and those who are interested in learning what OpenBSD and pf have to offer, devguide.net is announcing the publication of the first edition of Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF by Jacek Artymiak, who shows how to deploy firewalls based on OpenBSD and pf.
The book covers the following topics:
* Installing OpenBSD
* Configuring OpenBSD
* Firewall Designs
* Packet Redirection
* Packet Filtering
* Bandwidth Shaping
* Dynamic Rulesets
* Logging and Log Analysis
* Testing Your Firewall
* Ruleset Optimization
* Firewall Management
* Using authpf
* Using spamd
With top-quality integrated cryptographic support, compact size, and simple design, the OpenBSD operating system and the Daniel Hartmeier's pf packet filter have become two of the favorite tools in the network security professionals' toolbox. Their liberal and business-friendly licensing terms make it an ideal fit for many security applications, where commercial or GPL-like licenses prevent use of other software products.
OpenBSD is relied upon by many commercial, government, and educational users, including Adobe (makers of desktop and web publishing tools), NASA, Network Security Technologies, Saab (car maker), SoftQuad (makers of XML tools), as well as many universities, hospitals, research institutes, military, and government agencies.
The Daniel Hartmeier's pf packet filter is quickly gaining popularity outside the OpenBSD community and has been ported to the other two open source BSD systems: FreeBSD and NetBSD.
Jacek Artymiak is a freelance consultant, developer, and writer. His popular column, Securing Small Networks with OpenBSD published on the O'Reilly Network's ONLamp.com site is read by tens of thousands of OpenBSD users and network security professionals.
To help the OpenBSD project, the author of Building Firewalls with OpenBSD an PF donates from each copy sold to the project's fund.
DevGuide.net publishes books on lesser known high-quality commercial and open source software.
