Linux Networking Unleashed

by Matthew Marsh

Published February 2000
Linux Networking Unleashed will explore the myriad ways in which Linux can be integrated into established networks where it must be made to behave alongside other operating systems. This book takes the reader from the initial kernal configuration to the final network configuration file and shell script, and it will encompass both theory and practice. The book covers the new Linux 2.2 kernal, which has only been available a few months, and all the new networking tools written for this kernal. Topics include:
-- Linux Network Stack
-- Kernel Tuning
-- Advanced Protocol Configuration
-- Advanced IP Networking
-- Network Management
-- Firewalls and Encryption
-- VPNs
-- Proxy and Bastion Services
-- Crakers, Creeps, and Cretins
-- Security Monitoring
