Additional Security in the Linux Kernel?

Posted by Cliff on from the going-beyond-ugo dept.

nyx asks: "Recently, I was looking for some way to improve security on my linux boxes. I found few linux patches like grsecurity, LIDS (now also as Linux Security Module), Medusa DS9. I'm testing grsecurity (and it's ACLs) now and I'm quite satisfied with it, but I wonder, what are pros and cons of other solutions. Anybody tried them and can share his experience with us?"

  1. Will NSA stops the Ruskies ? by Taco+Cowboy · · Score: 1, Redundant



    Will NSA's Security Enhanced Linux stops the Ruskies from hacking into my systems?

    I'm tired of searching high and low for security tips, applying patches and such, and still having the Ruskies prying open my systems with no problem.

    Methinks there's a list of "undocumented Linux vulnerabilities" out there, and the Ruskies (amongst the others) are using it to hack Linux systems.

    If there's such a list, I'd like to take a look at them. I'd like to close all those holes.

    Anyone has the list ?

    May I borrow it, please ?
