I've been involved in various capacities in the field of Data Security since 1985; The past 10 years as a field engineer for a Major Software Manufacturer. I began working with Unix and later Linux in 1994.

I started this blog with the intent of focusing on Security with the Linux Framework however as I do security and messaging work in other environments I will most certainly stray off topic a bit.

Bear with me as I develop the site. I have so many things to write about. Suggestions and constructive feedback are always welcome. One important lesson in security work is that you have to always consider new ways that the enemy can attack. Some are clever but most rely on well known tools and exploit well known vulnerabilities so my first efforts here will focus on the basics of securing and hardening your systems against known security threats.


I'll never be able to cover 'everything' myself so anyone wishing to submit relevant content for this blog; links to relevant sites or anything of widespread interest to those interested in Linux Security feel free to contact kbastin@mindspring.com
