Securing Your System: Overview
- Securing any unix system is a complicated (possibly impossible) task.
- Attacks can originate from outside or inside of your system.
- Outside problems:
- Sniffing (in detail) See:
http://web.mit.edu/telnet/www/scenarios.html
- Denial of Service attacks (briefly)
- Inside problems:
- SUID programs with bugs
- Incorrectly set permissions
Gosh that's horrible! What's the solution!
