Today I will be talking a lot about OpenBSD, FreeBSD and other Unix-like operating systems from the Berkeley Software Distribution. I thought that would be appropriate being my first document on Unixmen. I however will also be talking about Linux and Untangle and how they complement Unix based firewalls such as Pfsense.

I would like to explain what I think is the best way to secure a network from hackers and bots and why these techniques work as well as I say they do. I however will not be explaining how, as I will save that for another article. That being said if there is anything in error here please let me know but I am sure you will find nothing in contrast to common theory. I would also like to show you guys some things I like to do and things I think are critical to IT security.
