Short Description:
The track provides in-depth coverage of Unix-specific security issues.
Full Description:
The distributed denial of service attacks that incapacitated Yahoo and other high profile internet sites in February 2000 were all launched from improperly configured Unix systems. Hundreds of scripts are continuously searching the internet for vulnerable Unix systems. You cannot protect your systems if you rely on standard installations and simple patching. SANS is pleased to offer a Unix security certification track that helps you master the skills needed to keep your systems from being part of the security problem. This track can be used to prepare for the GIAC Certified Unix Security Administrator (GCUX) certification.
The track provides in-depth coverage of Unix-specific security issues. We will look at how the Unix semantics for file storage, program execution, and memory layout help - or hinder! - your ability to secure a Unix system. We will also look at the specific configuration choices needed to secure the most commonly used Unix servers: Apache, Sendmail, and more. You will see the exact steps necessary to secure the two most common Unix flavors: Solaris and Linux.
All through the course, you will learn how to use freely available tools to handle security issues. We will cover the installation, basic use, and advanced options so that you can start using these tools as soon as you return to work. We will put these tools to use in the special section on Unix Forensics.
We will also include a detailed section on the installation, configuration, basic use, and advanced operation of SSH, as it is so crucial for Unix system management.
