FreeBSD Security Event Auditing

I first touched a BSD box in around 1994, thanks to the donation of a BSD/OS system and SLIP connection from UUNet to my high school. It was love at first sight! Discovering FreeBSD not long after, I've been a regular FreeBSD user since around 1995, although I only became involved in FreeBSD development in 1999, gaining a "commit bit" to help maintain the FreeBSD portions of the Coda distributed file system, a project I had worked on while at Carnegie Mellon University. My undergraduate degree is in Logic and Computation, from CMU's philosophy department, along with a double major in Computer Science, but it became clear that my greatest interest lay in operating systems and security. After working on file system ACLs and mandatory access control for FreeBSD, I started the TrustedBSD Project in 2000, with the goal of bringing more advanced security features to the platform. In 2001, while working at Network Associates Laboratories (NAI Labs, and later McAfee Research), I proposed and became Principal Investigator on a research project as part of DARPA's CHATS research program, which was investigating security and open source. This project included sponsoring and developing UFS2, OpenPAM, the TrustedBSD MAC Framework, NSS support, PAE support, several network stack hardening projects (including syncache and syncookies for FreeBSD), GEOM, and GBDE.

Review: Disk Encryption Products For Your Laptop

You may not always be able to protect your laptop from a thief, but you can keep the data it contains safe. Two new products -- PGP Corp.'s PGP Whole Disk Encryption 9.5 and SecurStar GmbH's DriveCrypt Plus Pack 3.5 -- promise to protect your data, so that even if your computer falls into the wrong hands, its contents will remain unreadable. Both applications are easy to use and offer an impressive suite of tools, but most users will appreciate the more practical features and lower price tag of PGP's product. Both PGP and DriveCrypt offer on-the-fly, full-disk encryption, which means that they scramble all the data on your hard drive the moment you save it to disk. Both use the AES-256 algorithm, a fast, well-established and trusted mechanism for encrypting data.

New Linux Security Products Glimmer On Horizon

Beyond displaying an extensive slate of existing Linux products, vendors at this week's InfoSecurity show pointed to possible future offerings ranging from a Linux client for a CD-ROM encryption system to a Linux-enabled all-in-one device for securing both physical access and video surveillance. In a sign of the growing convergence between information security and physical security, the InfoSecurity conference was combined this year with the East coast edition of the ISC show, another perennial event at New York City's Javits Center. Conference sessions tended to skirt matters specific to OS and interoperability, focusing instead on convergence issues such as organizational restructurings and information sharing, as well as on what general types of tools to deploy against the latest nuances in bots, pharming, and other cyberattacks.

NVidia Bug Puts Linux Systems At Risk

A security flaw in the binary NVidia graphics drivers used by many Linux systems could allow an attacker to compromise, through a malicious Web page, any computer using the company's driver, security firm Rapid7 stated on Monday. The NVidia Binary Graphics Driver for Linux remains vulnerable, the company said in an advisory. However, the flaw has been publicly reported and may have been known about as early as December 2004, prompting the company to report the issue publicly.

ModSecurity 2.0 with Ivan Ristic

I am a web application security specialist and have been referred to as a web application firewall guy. In truth, I have many diverse interests (most of them related to technology) but I tend to deal with only one at a time. We live in exciting times when there is so much to do; wherever you look there is room for improvement. My background is in software development and I have spent significant time architecting software systems. However, over the last couple of years I became focused exclusively on security. Today I am probably best known for my work on ModSecurity, which is an open source web application firewall, and my book, Apache Security, which was published by O'Reilly in 2005.

Recent Security Enhancements in NetBSD

Running on almost twenty different architectures, and easily portable to others, NetBSD gained its reputation as the most portable operating system on the planet. While that may indicate high quality code, the ever demanding networked world cares about more than just that. Over the past year, NetBSD evolved quite a bit in various areas. This paper, however, will focus on those aspects relating to security. This paper was written and structured to present a full overview of the recent security enhancements in NetBSD in an easily readable and balanced form that will satisfy new, intermediate, and experienced users. References were sprinkled across the text to provide more information to those who want more detail, while preserving the continuity.

Securely access a remote Linux Desktop using FreeNX

NX short form for NoMachine's X protocol is a compression technology developed by NoMachine which allows one to run complete remote desktop sessions (be it Linux or Windows) even at dial up internet connection speeds. One of the advantages of using NX technology over VNC is that NX uses SSH on port 22 for connection between the client and the server. Which means all the communication takes place encrypted through industry standard SSL public key cryptography.
