ThinIce accurately described the guides, if not colorfully. h**p://www.nsa.gov/snac/index.html takes you straight to the guides. Be sure to go to the bottom of the page and follow the link to the "download single files" pages. They have more than just Win and Cisco guides. The Oracle 9i and MS SQL were particularly helpful.

NSA appears to have been working on a flavor of Linux they call Security Enhanced (SELinux). Looks like the source is availible for download.

It's a fairly thorough guide- It has some pretty good explanation on what's what. As well as presets that you can use.

Although I don't recco them because they're a little too strict for my likening ;)
of course then again I didn't edit them like it said cause I'm a lazy person :unsure:

well these guides are intended for DoD and other government agencies to implement so yea I'd say they're interested in doing just that - but I guess it depends how deep your conspiracy theories run ;)

great find - thank you

Hello,

If anyone's interested in checking out selinux up close and personal (by that I mean ssh into the box as root) then drop me an email.

Heres some interesting reading for you as well regarding your locking down MS boxes


Windows Some of the forum may remember this, to others it may be new. Regardless there have been numerous changes as the German went with Linux staring with Munich back in 99/2000 if I recall correctly as well as this posting by the BBC back in 2002.

What is equally interesting Whiskah is that MS released there source code to a foreign country. Just so happens that the person who was representing the so called security center, just happened to be a member of that countries security services, oh sorry as they said

Go figure then people wonder why guys like Daniel Geer Jr get on the soap box saying M$ is a threat to national security. Instead of someone saying humm he might have a point, and doing some research into it, he gets canned because it's easier to remove the "Squeaky wheel" then to fix the problem.

Sad part about all of this is that it will take a massive incident, before Daniel Geer is vindicated. Kind of reminds me of what happened to that lady Nancy Floyd. Oh well just my simple ramblings.
