Overview

While Mac OS X is becoming more and more stable with each release, its UNIX/BSD underpinnings have security implications that ordinary Mac users have never before been faced with. Mac OS X can be used as both a powerful Internet server, or, in the wrong hands a very powerful attack launch point. Yet, most Mac OS X books are generally quite simplistic - with the exception of the author's Mac OS X Unleashed, the first book to address OS X's underlying BSD subsystem. Maximum Mac OS X Security takes a similar UNIX-oriented approach, going into significantly greater depth on OS X security topics: Setup basics including Airport and network topology security, User administration and resource management with NetInfo, Types of attacks, how attacks work, and how to stop them, Network service security (e-mail, Web, and file sharing), Intrusion prevention and detection, and hands-on detection tools.Previously announced in 11/02 catalog.
