In recent years, Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems have emerged as viable platforms for Internet servers. More and more organizations are now entrusting the full spectrum of business activities--including e-commerce--to Windows. Unfortunately, the typical Windows NT/2000 installation makes a Windows server an easy target for attacks. Securing Windows for the Internet use is a complex task. This book suggests a two- fold strategy: Hardening any Windows server that could potentially be exposed to attacks from the Internet, so the exposed system (known as a bastion host) is as secure as it can be; providing extra security protection for exposed systems by installing an additional perimeter network that separates the Internet from an organization's internal networks. This book also discusses how to use IPSec, pcAnywhere, Windows 2000 Terminal Services, Cygwin, VNC, OpenSSH, and Open SSL to best advantage. It's a concise guide that pares down installation and configuration instructions into a series of checklists aimed at Windows administrators.
