Other Security Resources
This chapter has covered a few general security topics as they apply specifically to FreeBSD. However, the subject of network security is vast, and it grows each day as more and more malicious users try to find ways to bring down the Internet's core services.
There are a number of excellent resources on security, both FreeBSD-specific and general, that you would do well to check out.
The man security Page
Compiled by Matthew Dillon, the man security page contains a long discussion of general security topics and good administrative habits, as well as miscellaneous tips for preventing break-ins and DOS attacks. This page is the basis for a number of online resources, including part of the FreeBSD Handbook.
