EnGarde Secure Linux v2 Out

Posted by Hemos on from the lock-it-down dept.

Chuck writes "I came across EnGarde Secure Linux about two years ago when it was first released, and I see they just released the newest version. Improved Mandatory Access Control using LIDS, awesome web-based manager, code from the Openwall Project and winner of the Network Computing Hardened Linux product of the year. I love EnGarde."

    Quoth the poster: "I love EnGarde."

    The best part: it automatically uses protection! Just don't try a backdoor!

    No Linux administration skills required.


    HUH? This is supposed to be an uber-secure system and you don't have to administer it? Somebody explain this to me like I'm a two year old, because I just don't get it.

      All ports are turned off by default, with no way to turn them on. Also, networking hasn't been compiled into the kernel.

      Not only that, no users are allowed. not even root.

      It's supplied preinstalled on a PC with no powerswitch. hell, no PSU even.

      They think of everything...

    Heck, I just might give this a whirl on one of my testboxes...

    So, the advertising worked, is what you're saying. :-D

    "turning it into a secure pubic server"

    That's truly a noble endeavor... From my experience, most insecure pubic servers are loaded with viruses and trojans.
