Other nice (also new) book its Maximum Linux Security (http://www.samspublishing.com - isbn 0-672-31670-6 - CD with apps included, and with it, if you dont have a volume manager: mount -tiso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom ... then to install files on HD type: sh /mnt/cdrom/setup )
So I wandered down to Powell's to check out this amazing new book. 3 out of 800 pages on buffer overflows. Perhaps I'm biassed (because he doesn't cite StackGuard at all :-) but doesn't the buffer overflow problem deserve just a bit more attention than that? Sorry, I just had to rant at someone. A huge portion of everything I see on the net about security pertains to buffer overflows, and it's puzzling that this huge book gives the subject so little attention.
