Back in September, we had that talk on Linux system security. There's a
link to the presentation handout from the Plug web page (Talks & Papers).
The basic idea is as follows: Disable all services you don't need and/or
use. Port-scan your machine from both inside and outside your network. Run
SATAN against your machine. Run Crack against your passwd file. (Even
better, use shadow passwords.) Use nmap, netstat, nessus, tripwire, ssh,
etc.
Have fun. :)
