After completing the recipes in this chapter, you will have configured a static IP address for your Raspberry Pi; learned to protect your Raspberry Pi with a firewall; connected to the Raspberry Pi desktop remotely; installed a web server and a wiki; set up a wireless access point; and analyzed network packets.
