Linux Networking & Security for Beginners Learn Interfaces, Firewalls, VPNs, and Hardening for Servers, Cloud, and Homelabs Build a secure Linux server from zero-step by step, hands-on, and ready for 2025+. If you've ever wondered how real admins wire up IP, DNS, routing, firewalls, SSH, VPNs, SELinux/AppArmor, IDS, and automated patching -and make it all work together-this book shows you, end to end. You won't wade through theory. You'll configure, break, fix, harden, and verify-until your server is production-tough. What you'll master (with copy-paste labs) Interfaces, IP & DNS : ip, nmcli, netplan, resolvectl, default routes that actually route. Traffic & services : ss, systemctl, journalctl, tcpdump, iperf3 for real diagnostics. Firewalls : modern nftables (plus ufw/firewalld), default-deny rules, logging, and sets. SSH hardening : keys-only auth, no-root login, Fail2Ban bans that stick. VPNs : fast WireGuard (and when to pick OpenVPN or StrongSwan/IPsec ). Zero Trust basics : identity-aware access with practical starter tools. System hardening : SELinux/AppArmor in enforcing mode-labels, booleans, profiles. Auditing & compliance : Lynis , OpenSCAP , CIS Benchmarks -what to fix first. IDS/IPS : Suricata alerts that actually catch brute-force and port scans. Patch automation : unattended-upgrades, dnf-automatic, and live-patch options. Inside the book Practice Labs 1-7 : short, focused labs that build real muscle memory. Capstone Project : deploy a multi-service secure server (Web + SSH + WireGuard) with nftables, SELinux/AppArmor, Suricata, and automated updates-then attack it and verify your defenses. Cheat Sheets & Templates : quick-reference for ip, ss, nmcli, nftables , journalctl, plus ready-to-use WireGuard/OpenVPN/StrongSwan configs. Troubleshooting Guide : fix the errors everyone hits-handshakes, DNS, routes, SELinux denials, firewall drops. Hardening & Audit Reference : map findings to CIS and track progress with Lynis scores. Who this is for Beginners and career-switchers who want a practical path into Linux networking & security. Homelab builders who want private, safe remote access. Cloud & on-prem admins/DevOps who need a clear, modern baseline they can trust. Why this book Purely practical : every concept lands in a terminal. Modern & up to date : nftables , WireGuard , systemd-resolved , SELinux/AppArmor , Suricata -the current toolchain. End-to-end coherence : networking, security, hardening, monitoring, and patching working as one system. If you can type commands, you can build a hardened Linux server. Open the book, run the labs, ship a secure system-today.
