Bastille Linux 2.0: Six Operating Systems and Still Going!

Presented at DEF CON 10 (2002), Aug. 3, 2002, noon (50 minutes).

Bastille Linux is a security tightening program that has proven capable of thwarting or containing many of the vulnerabilities discovered in operating systems. Originally written for Red Hat Linux, Bastille has now been ported to six operating systems, including HP-UX. This talk will talk about what Bastille does, what we've done to it in the last year, and what we're working on next. Most importantly, it will teach you something about hardening systems and beating worms, even if you're an old spacedog of a sysadmin.
