### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Best for beginners
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2003*

As a Linux administrator, I ordered this book hoping to find out how hackers typically gain access to systems and neat little tricks for locking down my system, as well as detecting and dealing with intruders.  While Practical Unix & Internet Security did cover these topics, it covered little I didn't already know.Significant time is spent explaining how unix-based systems work.  The book covers things such as file systems, partition structure, file ownership/permissions, users and groups, inodes, ssh, backups, etc.  Each command, utility, procedure or feature is detailed over several pages followed by an explanation of what you should be doing with said topic.There are also a few real-world examples here and there; stories most of us have heard before, like the admin who had . in his path.Unlike many computer books, this one is well written and an easy read, and it's certainly a lot more friendly than some unix geek's advice which consists of RTFM.I think this book would be great for someone who has a very basic understanding of unix-based systems but has never administrated one before, but for those of us who've already had some experience running unix there's probably not anything new here for you.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    outdated and light on internet security
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 1998*

I should have paid more attention when I bought this book in a series of security books and I regret this buy.  Its "best seller" position is IMO unjustified because the networking/internet sections (10 total lines on SSL!, mentions of Netscape 2.0b2, nothing on ICMPs attacks, 3 lines about spoofing...) are completly outdated and/or pretty useless.

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2015*

Good review book of things I have known for a long time.  But, it should be geared more toward large enterprise security tools like BoKS, PowerBroker, TripWire, etc.
