Linux And Security

April 24, 2006 on 8:12 pm | In Linux, Security | 105 Comments

I’m sorry about my absence, but I have been extremely busy the past few days. Revising for exams, building a computer from scratch, reading quite a few documents, finding out more about a degree in Computer Science, and returning to school after a brilliant Easter. So what is this post about? Linux, and security. I have been talking to a security professional about my first article, Proposing a Compelling Linux Business Case. First of all, my article was aimed at the public sector, and so certain parts of it may seem irrational and outright wrong to a security professional. I’m hoping that one of my readers knows enough about Linux to be able to respond to him with a valuable argument, because this has reached a stage which is too complex for me to handle. Maybe you could give it a shot! Contact me via the contact form if you’re interested ;)

SELinux Webcast

This Webcast by Red Hat is an excellent introduction to SELinux - it is easy to understand, but still manages to cover the topic in a large amount of detail. It is slightly old (it talks of Fedora core 5 as being unreleased as of yet), but it is still very informative. I highly recommend you take a look at it if you are new to SELinux, because I think every Linux user should be aware of its power. Watch it here.

Peace.
