Secure Shell (SSH) lets sysadmins securely manage remote systems. It’s powerful, complicated, and confusing.

Lose the confusion.

SSH Mastery: OpenSSH, PuTTY, Tunnels and Keys rescues you from sifting through decades of obsolete online tutorials and quickly makes you an SSH journeyman. You’ll learn to:

  • eliminate passwords
  • manage access by users, groups, addresses, and more
  • securely move files around your network
  • forward graphic displays
  • proxy TCP connections
  • build SOCKS proxies
  • centrally manage and distribute keys and configurations
  • use SSH as secure transport for other applications
  • build virtual private networks
  • create Certificate Authorities for truly large scale deployment

    Master Secure Shell with SSH Mastery!

    "...SSH Mastery is a title that Unix users and system administrators like myself will want to keep within reach..."
    -- Peter Hansteen

    This stripping-down of the usual tech-book explanations gives it the immediacy of extended documentation on the Internet. Not the multipage how-to articles used as vehicles for advertising, but an in-depth presentation from someone who used OpenSSH to do a number of things, and paid attention while doing it.
    -- Justin Sherrill, DragonFlyBSD Digest
