Armoring Solaris: II (paper)
Armoring Solaris: II (paper)
Firewalls are one of the fastest growing technical tools in the field
of information security. However, a firewall is only as secure as the operating
system it resides upon. This article is a continuation of the original
Armoring Solaris article,
focusing on building a minimized Solaris 8 64-bit for CheckPoint FW-1 NG firewall.
This article does not include an updated script for the automated securing
of the new installation, as there was in Armoring Solaris. Instead,
we will be using Solaris Security
Toolkit (JASS). This is a new tool developed and released
by Sun for the secure deployment of the Solaris platform. In otherwords, I’m not
going to develop a tool to automate the secure build since that tool is already
out there.
