Description:I have never used a Sun Solaris system, but I found this book to be very informative and enlightening nonetheless. Hack Proofing Sun Solaris 8: Protect Your Network From Attack provides an excellent introduction to securing a Solaris 8 system. It covers everything from securing the installation out of the box, to securely implementing Solaris 8 as a web server, email server, firewall or router.
