In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A FAQ is a great idea I would suggest some things im sure have already been mentioned.
1. Introduction to IDS (snort, log viewing etc..) 2. How-To for Windows services, what you DO and DO NOT need. With explinations on how to configure these services. 3. Apache/IIS configurations, or atleast a link to where you can read about secure webserver configurations. 4. Setting up basic firewall ACL's. How to block/open ports.
