The Linux Security HOWTO has been revised and updated. The HOWTO provides a great overview of all issues involved in securing a Linux system, with links to software and other great sources of information on practical methods of enhancing the security of any Linux-based system.
From the introduction:
This document covers some of the main issues that affect Linux security. General philosophy and net-born resources are discussed. This is the seventh year of production of this HOWTO. Dave and Kevin have worked quite hard to make this informative, easy to read, and succinct. It's much easier to Google for a topic than it was back in 1998, but hopefully this document will give you direction on where to go for information, and authoritative advice on what's real and what's snake oil.
A number of other HOWTO documents overlap with security issues, and those documents have been pointed to wherever appropriate.
This document is not meant to be a up-to-date exploits document. Large numbers of new exploits happen all the time. This document will tell you where to look for such up-to-date information, and will give some general methods to prevent such exploits from taking place.
