Bastille Linux 1.0.0

Posted Tuesday, December 14, 1999 - 10:02  by vacuum:
The Bastille Linux development team is proud to announce the first release
of the Bastille Linux hardening script. The Bastille Hardening script
attempts to provide the most secure, yet functional, Redhat 6.0 system
available. (Support for Red Hat 6.1 is forthcoming.) Bastille Linux was
designed with several major goals:


COMPREHENSIVENESS
Bastille Linux draws from every available major reputable source on Linux
Security. The initial development integrated Jay Beale's existing hardening
scripts for Solaris and Linux with most major points from the SANS Securing
Linux Step by Step, Kurt Seifried's Linux Administrator's Security Guide,
and several other sources.
INSTRUCTIVENESS
Bastille Linux has been designed to educate the installing administrator
about the security issues involved in each of the script's tasks. Each step
is optional and contains a description of the security issues involved.
COMMUNITY
Once the initial development was near complete, we brought the effort to the
developers of the Bastille Discussion mailing list. Further, we began
soliciting outside suggestions and testing. The script was GPL'd promptly
and the Specification shared.
The Bastille Linux hardening script is a community consensus project: it
attempts to integrate existing "best practices" documents and the shared
knowledge of many administrators. The project needs constant input from its
user community (This means you!) in order to remain current, as well as to
fill in the gaps in our existing structure. Bastille Linux is far from
perfect, and your input is crucial to making it better.
