yeah i know right.. they just now rennovated their current website on these guides... but they've hadded a few updates like the sun java plug in security which i find interesting. what's even more shocking is that top IT companies or most people in the service industry doesn't give any thought to these guides.

NSA has been working real hard to perfect SElinux. NSA also put code into the 2.6 kernel. Now SElinux is going for DOD level certification up there with Solaris

I've seen these before related to a mailing I received from the NSA directly. I am on some odd mailing lists so imagine my concern when I recieved a big manilla envelop from Ft. Mead.

They are one of the documentation sets you have to be perfectly familiar with to successfully pass the NSA Gov't Security Professional certification test. I may be off on the name of the cert itself but it's close enough.

Lots of good information but not useful in the "real world" as we don't have access to some of the underlying systems and technologies they reference from time to time.

yeah these guides aren't bad. of course these are declassified, which means they're either somewhat dated material (but still good) or in use for external computers and networks that aren't mission critical. i've been using them for years with my company. i must say, they are comprehensive... i emailed the webmaste rof that website, you can actually call the NSA and request a burnt disc of all the guides if you cannot dl them. They don't give you hard copies :( lol
