The seminar,being held on April 30, 2005, follows five successful seminars hostedby Hurricane Electric on business and technology topics.

“Manypeople consider Linux to be more securable than Windows, given a littletime, effort, and attention. But what if you’re completely new to Linuxand to Unix-like operating systems in general? Making sense of filepermissions, setuid-bits, chroot jails, etc. can be intimidating, but‘Linux Security for Beginners’ will help,” said Michael D. (”Mick”)Bauer, seminar speaker.

Mick Bauer, Security Editor of LinuxJournal Magazine and author of O’Reilly book Linux Server Security, 2ndEd, will return to Hurricane Electric after two years to lead anothercomprehensive Linux security seminar. Because “Linux Security forBeginners” is designed for Linux newbies, it will start from groundzero in explaining and demonstrating how to use Linux’s powerful andflexible security features.

The seminar will first cover thefundamentals of user/group properties, basic file-permissions, andsimple system administration commands.

Participants will then belead through important “system hardening” tasks, including how todisable unnecessary system services, how to leverage common applicationsecurity features, how to manage system logs and how to use automatedtools for system for security scanning.
