Format: PDF
Quality: Originally computer (eBook)
Number of pages: 140
Description:
OpenBSD's PF packet filter, which has enjoyed considerable success and attention, was first released as part of OpenBSD 3.0 in late 2001.
Before you know more about the history of PF, in a nutshell we can say that PF came into being out of necessity for OpenBSD developers and users. Since its first release, PF has evolved significantly to become a powerful and free tool for firewalling, load balancing, and traffic management. When PF is used in combination with CARP and pfsync, it allows system administrators not only to protect their services from attacks, but also to increase their reliability through redundancy, and to increase the speed of services by scaling using pools of servers managed by PF and relayd.
This book was intended to be a bridge across the chasm. If you are a beginner, it will quickly lead you to OpenBSD and PF. If you are an experienced user, this book may show you some examples of more complex PF applications that solve problems beyond the typical ones.

Description of the book
Currently, you can drown in a sea of information on UNIX and Linux, so we decided to use this book to chart our course and meet the needs of system administrators, thereby occupying a very specific niche in the ecosystem of various kinds of man pages, blogs, magazines, books and other reference materials. First, this is a guide that examines the various components of the main administration systems and how they work together. In many cases where we have had to choose between different implementations of an idea, we have described the advantages and disadvantages of the main options. Second, this is a quick reference that contains everything you need to know to perform common tasks on various versions of UNIX and Linux. systems. For example, the ps command, which displays the status of current processes, supports more than 80 command line switches (options) on Linux systems. But just a few key combinations satisfy 99% of a system administrator's needs (see Section 5.7). Finally, this book focuses on the administration of enterprise servers and networks, i.e. on the serious topic of system administration. It is not difficult to install an operating system on a separate computer; it is much more difficult to maintain stable operation of a virtualized network environment under heavy loads, disk failures and deliberate attacks. Therefore, we describe methods and practical methods that will allow you to “lift” “fallen” networks, as well as choose solutions that will remain relevant as your site expands and becomes more complex and its heterogeneity changes.

Unix and Linux. System Administrator's Guide. 4th edition.
Unix and Linux: A System Administrator's Guide, 4th Edition by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Trent Hayne and Ben Whaley, is a practical guide in which renowned authors share their collective system administration experiences with readers and offer recommendations that have stood the test of time. It contains many practical examples and tips. This is not about how to use UNIX or Linux at home. It describes the use of operating systems in commercial companies, government agencies, and universities. The book details issues related to the operation of UNIX and Linux systems on networks. This is the most difficult aspect of system administration, and this is where help for readers will be most helpful. This guide covers the main variants of UNIX and Linux.
The book is divided into three parts - “Basics of Administration”, “Working on the Network” and “Miscellaneous”. Part I, "Administration Fundamentals," provides a general overview of UNIX and Linux systems from a system administrator's perspective. The chapters in this part provide the basic information and techniques needed to manage an autonomous system. This part describes the protocols used in UNIX systems, as well as methods for building, expanding and administering networks and Internet servers. High-level network software is also discussed here. Topics covered include the Domain Name System (DNS), Network File System (NFS), email, and network management tools. Part II, "Networking," describes the protocols used on UNIX systems and how to set up, expand, and operate Internet-connected networks and servers. It also covers high-level networking software, as well as the domain name system, network file system, email, and network management. Part III, Miscellaneous, contains a variety of supporting information. Some chapters discuss additional functionality, such as support for server virtualization. Other chapters provide guidance on topics ranging from environmental issues to systems administration team principles. At the end of each chapter there is a set of practical tasks. Each exercise is given a difficulty level rating, taking into account both the complexity of the task itself and the time spent on its completion.
