- Bastille Linux Project: Go here
(http://www.bastile-linux.org/) for a "hardening" script to help secure Red Hat distributions.
- Security Check:
If you would like to determine whether your cable, DSL, dial-up or any
other connection to the network allows outsiders to connect to your machine,
check out the following link:
http://grc.com
and then click the ShieldsUP! icon.
The "Probe My Ports!" tests are useful for *nix systems. The
"Test My Shields!" tests are predominantly aimed at Windows 9x/NT, but
also could be useful for *nix systems.
[NOTE: A "pass" with this security check does not necessarily mean
your computer is completely safe. For instance, if you have any services
running on your computer that are available via the internet, new security
holes/vulernabilities are found periodically that could allow unauthorized
access to your computer. You should turn off any unneeded services and
keep your OS as up-to-date as possible.]
