Notes on tomorrow's GCC presentation - "Checking the Security of Your Linux Box"

[Bob George]

Just a quick summary of tomorrow's GCC presentation:

This presentation is focused on assessing a Linux system in terms of
security, with an emphasis on self-assessment. It is oriented towards those
with a basic understanding of networking and linux, but looking for more
understanding of how to identify and correct potential security problems.

Tools to be discussed include:

netstat
lsof
nmap
logcheck
snort
aide

and others. I hope to keep the focus on helping linux users secure their
systems, and less on "advanced hacking" techniques.
