• Doug Engelbart | The Economist

• The paranoid #! Security Guide (Page 1) / Tips, Tricks & Scripts / CrunchBang Linux Forums

  In this small guide I simply provide several "recipes" for securing both your box and your internet-connection and web-applications. I won't go into the why of all of this in too much detail as I want to provide a simple how-to that people can follow to make their system more secure without having to read through hundreds of pages of explanations. This information can easily be found elsewhere. If you're interested in a certain topic then just fire up a web-search and give it a read. This guide is not exhaustive of course. As they say, security is a process - and so this guide can only be a place to start which needs to be adjusted to your personal needs.
