Hardened Linux 1.6.6-2

Hardened Linux 1.6.6-2


Hardened Linux is a hardened distribution based on a minimalized Slackware Linux 11.0. more>>
Hardened Linux is a hardened distribution based on a minimalized Slackware Linux 11.0.
This distribution is still under heavy development.
Hardened Linux (a.k.a. "Wendzel Linux") is a security distribution with 3 main targets:
- maximum security
- maximum stability
- maximum usuability
It is optimized to run on as firewall system, vpn gateway, IDS system and authentication system. Currently not all of these features are fully implemented.
Enhancements:
- This just an updated version of the 1.6.6-snapshot release. This release includes our current packages (gcc-4.2, glibc-2.5, kernel 2.6.21.3 and different other package updates). Nothing else has changed. We released this new version because it will still take a few weeks (if not months) before we can release the next snapshot version that includes a completely new package system and a completely new installer system. Please report any kind of bugs.

DieHard 1.1

DieHard 1.1


DieHard automatically hardens software applications against a wide range of bugs. more>>
DieHard project automatically hardens software applications against a wide range of bugs.
These bugs, known as memory errors, often end up as serious security vulnerabilities, cause crashes, or lead to unpredictable behavior.
DieHard either eliminates these bugs altogether, or avoids them with high probability.
DieHard works in two modes: standalone and replicated. The standalone version replaces the memory manager with the DieHard randomized memory manager. This randomization increases the odds that buffer overflows will have no effect, and reduces the risk of dangling pointers.
The replicated version provides greater protection against errors by running several instances of the application simultaneously and voting on their output. Because each replica is randomized differently, each replica will likely have a different output if it has an error, and some replicas are likely to run correctly despite the error.
The standalone version works for Linux, Solaris, and Windows, while the replicated version currently only supports Linux or Solaris console applications.
Enhancements:
- This release features dramatically reduced memory consumption, fixes logic (for Windows) that protects against double free errors, fixes the internal random number generator, enhancing randomness, and adds more robust whitelist processing for the DieHard system, for Windows protection.

MaraDNS 1.0.35

MaraDNS 1.0.35


MaraDNS is a fully functional DNS server. more>>
MaraDNS is a package that implements the Domain Name Service (DNS), an essential internet service.
MaraDNS is intended for environments where a DNS server must be secure and where the server must use the absolute minimum number of resources possible.
MaraDNS was created in response to issues people had with the DNS servers available in early 2001; and has the following design goals:
- Security-aware programming. A DNS server needs to be secure. I have a number of security features in the code, including:
1. The code uses a special string library which is resistant to buffer overflows.
2. The code, if started as root, mandates running as an unprivledged user in a chroot() jail.
- Open-Source. The 1.0 release of the DNS server is public-domain code; the next release will be released under a very liberal BSD-style license.
- Simplicity. This DNS server has the minimum number of features needed to correctly act as an authoritative and/or recursive name server.
Enhancements:
- The AES variant that MaraDNS uses has been hardened against some cache timing attacks that cryptographers have recently published.

Diet-Router 0.3

Diet-Router 0.3


Diet-Router provides a singe floppy DSL router. more>>
Diet-Router provides a singe floppy DSL router.
Diet-Router is a Linux router that is small enough to fit on a single floppy disk. It focuses more on security than on functionality.
Diet-Router is a Linux router built with the dietlibc. It is small enough to fit on a single floppy disk. You may think that there are several other Linux routers, which come with more features and you are right. I build this router package more with the view on security than of functionality. So this project differs a lot from most other router or mini-Linux projects.
Main features:
- I use a 2.4.x kernel to have the great features of net-filter.
- I patch some net-filter extensions to have even more filter functions.
- I harden the kernel with the grsecurity kernel patch.
- Kernel modules are disabled.
- By default root login is disabled - even on the console.
How does it work:
First of all, all programs are linked statically. This is the main idea of this system. No libraries are needed. It uses busybox and tinylogin, two typical multi-call-binaries for small systems. The iptables, iptables-restore and iptables-save commands have been made a multi-call binary by me. The pppd and pppoe programs have only been patched to compile with the dietlibc. The minit and od_syslog are really small programs, from people with much more knowledge of programming than me. So, special thanks to Felix von Leitner, Olaf Drefs and all the dietlibc/libowfat programmers.
Enhancements:
- Updated dietlibc, libowfat, dropbear, ppp, kernel and grsecurity to recent
- versions.
- Added new packages dhcp server (udhcpd) and vi (e3).
- The build system has been completely rewritten and documented.
- It supports multiple downloads, a simple interface for package building/setup and target file descriptions including file owner and permissions.
- Some simple checks for build requirements are implementet.
- The setup is now able to configure mutiple network interfaces and also mproxy, udhcpd and dnscache can be configured for eachnetwork interface.
- All packages have at least two internet sources.
- Support for disc based target systems has been added.

Gentoo Linux 2007.0 LiveCD

Gentoo Linux 2007.0 LiveCD


Gentoo Linux uses an enhanced BSD ports-style package system. more>>
The Gentoo Release Engineering team proudly announces the release of Gentoo Linux 2006.0. Gentoo Linux 2006.0, the first release in the 2006 series, represents improvements across many architectures since the 2005.1 release.

Major highlights in the release include KDE 3.4.3, GNOME 2.12.2, XFCE 4.2.2, GCC 3.4.4 and a 2.6.15 kernel. This is also the first release with the Gentoo Linux Installer officially debuting on the x86 LiveCD, which will fully replace the Universal and PackageCD set. The LiveCD also features a fully-fledged Gnome environment. Later releases will include KDE support as well as a new LiveDVD.

The PPC64 team has made significant improvements in its release media. IBMs hardware donation to the team greatly helped this and ensured a smooth release. The CDs feature 64-bit kernels and 32-bit userlands rather than the previous pure 64-bit environment. Optimized stages are available for the G5 and POWER5 processors, making Gentoo the first distribution optimized for POWER5 out-of-the-box. The new release includes an experimental CD with full framebuffer support for dual-core G5 machines along with thermal management features. This makes Gentoo the first to market with release media with this level of support.

PPC and PPC64 profiles received further reorganization. They now match those of other 32/64-bit architectures such as SPARC and MIPS, unifying the look of the tree and allowing easier creation of specific profiles (for example, for server use) in the future. The PPC discs improve support for newer Apple laptops such as the last series of PowerBooks, which 2005.1 did not support, and feature improved OldWorld support with BootX on the universal CDs. The PPC team now produces the PackageCDs in a G4 and a ppc-generic configuration, especially useful for older and slower machines.

The Hardened team is pleased to release both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel targeted stages for the x86 platform. The previously experimental non-multilib AMD64 stages are now part of the 2006.0 release, while Hardened Gentoo with multilib on AMD64 has become possible and the team is releasing experimental stages.

The 2006.0 AMD64 release moves EM64T support out of the experimental realm. The InstallCDs feature support for NVIDIA SATA and for SysKonnect Yukon2 network cards as well as the inclusion of 32-bit Java Support. An experimental LiveCD is also available, featuring the Gentoo Linux Installer.

The Alpha team now provides split NPTL profiles as part of the 2006.0 release -- NPTL must use a 2.6 kernel, and those who require a 2.4 kernel or do not wish to enable NPTL can use the no-nptl subprofile instead to not take advantage of the new threading model. Stage tarballs are now provided for both variants, and the InstallCD provides both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

SPARC has moved to GCC 3.4.5 from the older 3.3 series and also to glibc 2.3.5 from 2.3.3 -- the profile features a 2.6 kernel and headers. However, this feature remains experimental and the SPARC team built the release media with the 2.4 subprofile. Testing from SGI Quality Assurance allowed the IA64 team to update its InstallCD to boot on SGI Prism machines.

Gentoo Linux is a community-driven project committed to producing a high-quality open source distribution; more information regarding this release, such as detailed release notes will be available on the Gentoo Release Engineering teams project page.

Gentoo Linux uses an enhanced BSD ports-style package system.

Bastille 3.0.9

Bastille 3.0.9


Bastille Hardening program locks down an operating system. more>>
Bastille Hardening program "locks down" an operating system, proactively configuring the system for increased security and decreasing its susceptibility to compromise. Bastille project can also assess a systems current state of granularly, hardening reporting on each of the security settings with which it works.
Bastille currently supports the Red Hat (Fedora Core, Enterprise, and Numbered/Classic), SUSE, Debian, Gentoo, and Mandrake distributions, along with HP-UX and Mac OS X. Bastilles focuses on letting the systems user/administrator choose exactly how to harden the operating system.
In its default hardening mode, it interactively asks the user questions, explains the topics of those questions, and builds a policy based on the users answers. It then applies the policy to the system. In its assessment mode, it builds a report intended to teach the user about available security settings as well as inform the user as to which settings have been tightened.
Why use it?
Bastille broke new ground by working to educate users about security, and help them make balanced, informed choices. Many users have found Bastilles secondary goal of educational just as useful as its primary goal of system hardening, leading some organizations to make an interactive Bastille hardening session part of their training regimen for new system administrators. In this spirit, Bastille can allow the user to run through the entire interactive portion without applying the chosen changes.
Who Uses It?
Bastille has become a vital part of the security hardening space. Its the most used hardening tool for Linux and HP-UX and is shipped by the vendor on SuSE, Debian, Gentoo and HP-UX. It is covered in all of the major books on Linux Security and has been the subject of a number of articles. Most recently, the Center for Internet Securitys Linux Hardening Guide has recommended the use of Bastille to help harden systems.
Enhancements:
- Updated for Fedora Core 5, SUSE 10, Mandriva 10.0, 10.1, 2006*, and preliminary support for Tiger.

What is Rubix?
- It is a new Linux distribution that is something of a fork of Slackware 10.1.
- It will branch off in its own direction very quickly, in many ways, it already has.
- It maintains the Slackware traditions of Simplicity, Security and Stability.
- It will run on all i486 hardware and newer and is optimized for i686.
- It is designed to support mission critical hardware and be very admin friendly.
- It is a great distribution for knowledgable *NIX users!
- If you know Slackware, you will do great in Rubix!
How is Rubix different from Slackware?
- Rubix uses Arch Linuxs pacman for simplified package management with dependency resolution.
- Rubix has completely revamped the init system, maintaining the BSD style, but adding modularity.
- Rubix uses gcc 3.4.1 and compiles most packages with SSP (aka: ProPolice), and PIE (Position Independant Executable) wherever possible, but will never patch software just to make it compile with SSP andor PIE. This means that Rubix should not be thought of as a hardened distribution as many packages can not be compiled with SSP, however, it does mean that Rubix is harder than most. This logic makes most software more secure and does not require downstream patching for compatability, a major goal of Rubix.
Enhancements:
- This is the inaugural release of the Rubix Linux operating system. Rubix Linux is distributed with the Linux kernel versions 2.6.15.5, 2.4.32 and 2.4.32-grsec. Rubix Linux is well equipped to serve in both desktop and server roles. Rubix has exceptional hardware detection with udev replacing hotplug for 2.6 kernels and the latest KDE desktop version 3.5.1. Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 and Thunderbird 1.5 are now the default web browser and email client. Rubix Linux also supports the best modern filesystems including ext2, ext3, JFS, XFS, ReiserFS and now Reiser4 (with 2.6 kernels) from installation.

JaCL Linux (Just a Command Line Linux) is a live CD distribution (a Knoppix remaster) of the Linux operating system. JaCL Linux is designed to be run as a command line driven server or utility system.
Most major command line applications or server software available in a standard Linux distribution are available in JaCL Linux. Most X11 server software and applications have been intentionally removed from the distribution in order to streamline the
distribution for use as a server or utility system.
Examples of server or utility uses for JaCL include: web server, ftp server, DNS server, SMB server, rsync server, syslog server, local disk mirroring utility, remote rsync disk mirroring utility or hardware diagnostics utility.
The removal of the X server and X applications streamlines the distribution, reduces maintenance, and may reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
Additionally other applications have been intentionally removed or omitted from the distribution, including applications which may pose a security risk if the server is user level compromised (i.e. network scanning utilities and packet sniffing tools).
The result is a full command line live CD distribution which is about half the size of a full Knoppix CD distribution.
Main features:
- an easily upgradable system
- a password protected system by default
- security warning banners (a requirement in some work environments)
- a security hardened base system
- an easy mechanism for systems administrators to automatically configure the system at bootup
- most server and utility applications included (the fact that Knoppix<<less
