Maintaining security with PortSentry and LogCheck

Author: JT Smith

From LinuxJournal: “As any administrator knows, a successful network rollout begins and ends with security. No matter how much money is spent on a
system with the latest and greatest hardware and software, the system can be rendered worthless if its security is compromised.
Unfortunately, keeping up with system security can be tedious. Administrators must stay aware of updates to software as well as the
latest system compromise techniques. Due to this difficult task, system security is often not maintained and is lacking in many areas … This dilemma changed for me when I discovered
the freeware tools offered by Psionic Software, Inc. called PortSentry and Logcheck.”
