It configures daemons, system settings and +firewalls to be more secure. It can shut off unneeded services like rcp +and rlogin, and helps create "chroot jails" that help limit the +vulnerability of common Internet services like Web services and DNS. + +This tool currently hardens Red Hat (Fedora Core, Enterprise and +Legacy/Classic), SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, Mandrake Linux, HP-UX, Mac OS X +and Turbo Linux. + +If run in the preferred interactive mode, it can teach you a good deal +about security while personalizing your system security state. + +Bastille can also assess and report on the state of a system, which may +serve as an aid to security administrators, auditors and system +administrators who wish to investigate the state of their system's +hardening without making changes to such. This assessment functionality +has only been tested on Red Hat Linux (Fedora, Legacy, Enterprise) and +SUSE systems. |
