Preface

So there you are, staring at your computer and wondering why your Internet connection is running slower than slow, and wishing you knew enough to penetrate the endless runaround you get from your service provider. Or, you're the Lone IT Staffer in a small business who got the job because you know the difference between a switch and hub, and now you're supposed to have all the answers. Or, you're really interested in networking, and want to learn more and make it your profession. Or, you are already knowledgeable, and you simply have a few gaps you need to fill. But you're finding out that computer networking is a subject with reams and reams of reference material that is not always organized in a coherent, useful order, and it takes an awful lot of reading just to figure out which button to push.

To make things even more interesting, you need to integrate Linux and Windows hosts. If you want to pick up a book that lays out the steps for specific tasks, that explains clearly the necessary commands and configurations, and does not tax your patience with endless ramblings and meanderings into theory and obscure RFCs, this is the book for you.

Audience

Ideally, you will have some Linux experience. You should know how to install and remove programs, navigate the filesystem, manage file permissions, and user and group creation. You should have some exposure to TCP/IP and Ethernet basics, IPv4 and IPv6, LAN, WAN, subnet, router, firewall, gateway, switch, hub, and cabling. If you are starting from scratch, there are any number of introductory books to get you up to speed on the basics.

If you don't already have basic Linux experience, I recommend getting the Linux Cookbook (O'Reilly). The Linux Cookbook (which I authored) was designed as a companion book to this one. It covers installing and removing software, user account management, cross-platform file and printer sharing, cross-platform user authentication, running servers (e.g., mail, web, DNS), backup and recovery, system rescue and repair, hardware discovery, configuring X Windows, remote administration, and lots more good stuff.

The home/SOHO user also will find some useful chapters in this book, and anyone who wants to learn Linux networking will be able to do everything in this book with a couple of ordinary PCs and inexpensive networking hardware.

Contents of This Book

This book is broken into 19 chapters and 3 appendixes:

, Introduction to Linux Networking

This is your high-level view of computer networking, covering cabling, routing and switching, interfaces, the different types of Internet services, and the fundamentals of network architecture and performance.

, Building a Linux Gateway on a Single-Board

In which we are introduced to the fascinating and adaptable world of Linux on routerboards, such as those made by Soekris and PC Engines, and how Linux on one of these little boards gives you more power and flexibility than commercial gear costing many times as much.

, Building a Linux Firewall

Learn to use Linux's powerful iptables packet filter to protect your network, with complete recipes for border firewalls, single-host firewalls, getting services through NAT (Network Address Translation), blocking external access to internal services, secure remote access through your firewall, and how to safely test new firewalls before deploying them on production systems.

, Building a Linux Wireless Access Point

You can use Linux and a routerboard (or any ordinary PC hardware) to build a secure, powerful, fully featured wireless access point customized to meet your needs, including state-of-the-art authentication and encryption, name services, and routing and bridging.

, Building a VoIP Server with Asterisk

This chapter digs into the very guts of the revolutionary and popular Asterisk VoIP server. Sure, these days, everyone has pretty point-and-click GUIs for managing their iPBX systems, but you still need to understand what's under the hood. This chapter shows you how to install Asterisk and configure Asterisk from scratch: how to create user's extensions and voicemail, manage custom greetings and messages, do broadcast voicemails, provision phones, set up a digital receptionist, do PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) integration, do pure VoIP, manage road warriors, and more.

, Routing with Linux

Linux's networking stack is a powerhouse, and it includes advanced routing capabilities. Here be recipes for building Linux-based routers, calculating subnets (accurately and without pain), blackholing unwelcome visitors, using static and dynamic routing, and for monitoring your hard-working little routers.

, Secure Remote Administration with SSH

OpenSSH is an amazing and endlessly useful implementation of the very secure SSH protocol. It supports traditional password-based logins, password-less public-key-based logins, and securely carries traffic over untrusted networks. You'll learn how to do all of this, plus how to safely log in to your systems remotely, and how to harden and protect OpenSSH itself.

, Using Cross-Platform Remote Graphical Desktops

OpenSSH is slick and quick, and offers both text console and a secure X Windows tunnel for running graphical applications. There are several excellent programs (FreeNX, rdesktop, and VNC) that offer a complementary set of capabilities, such as remote helpdesk, your choice of remote desktops, and Linux as a Windows terminal server client. You can control multiple computers from a single keyboard and monitor, and even conduct a class where multiple users view or participate in the same remote session.

, Building Secure Cross-Platform Virtual Private Networks with OpenVPN

Everyone seems to want a secure, user-friendly VPN (Virtual Private Network). But there is a lot of confusion over what a VPN really is, and a lot of commercial products that are not true VPNs at all, but merely SSL portals to a limited number of services. OpenVPN is a true SSL-based VPN that requires all endpoints to be trusted, and that uses advanced methods for securing the connection and keeping it securely encrypted. OpenVPN includes clients for Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, so it's your one-stop VPN shop. You'll learn how to create and manage your own PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), which is crucial for painless OpenVPN administration. And, you'll learn how to safely test OpenVPN, how to set up the server, and how to connect clients.
