The article shows us some of the relevant kernel architecture and compares SELinux to a few other approaches. We've discussed SELinux in the past. Quoting: "If you have a program that responds to socket requests but doesn't need to access the file system, then that program should be able to listen on a given socket but not have access to the file system. That way, if the program is exploited in some way, its access is explicitly minimized. This type of control is called mandatory access control (MAC). Another approach to controlling access is role-based access control (RBAC). In RBAC, permissions are provided based on roles that are granted by the security system. The concept of a role differs from that of a traditional group in that a group represents one or more users. A role can represent multiple users, but it also represents the permissions that a set of users can perform. SELinux adds both MAC and RBAC to the GNU/Linux operating system."<p><a href="http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/1524236&amp;from=rss"><img src="http://it.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=08/05/11/1524236"></a></p><p><a href="http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/1524236&amp;from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdotIt?a=N3gYfE"><img src="http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdotIt?i=N3gYfE" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/288124397" height="1" width="1"/> Soulskill 2008-05-11T16:08:00+00:00 security not-by-beating-the-end-boss-of-the-previous-level linux 161 161,155,120,100,38,26,20 http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/1524236&from=rss http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/288103484/article.pl sproketboy writes with news that a developer named Marc Balmer has recently fixed a bug in a bit of BSD code which is roughly 25 years old. In addition to the OSnews summary, you can read Balmer's comments and a technical description of the bug. "This code will not work as expected when seeking to the second entry of a block where the first has been deleted: seekdir() calls readdir() which happily skips the first entry (it has inode set to zero), and advance to the second entry. When the user now calls readdir() to read the directory entry to which he just seekdir()ed, he does not get the second entry but the third. Much to my surprise I not only found this problem in all other BSDs or BSD derived systems like Mac OS X, but also in very old BSD versions.

The Army's network scored the highest, put together using Linux and FreeBSD by cadets at West Point. Quoting: "Even with a solid network design and passable software choices, there was an element of intuitiveness required to defend against the NSA, especially once it became clear the agency was using minor, and perhaps somewhat obvious, attacks to screen for sneakier, more serious ones. 'One of the challenges was when they see a scan, deciding if this is it, or if it's a cover,' says [instructor Eric] Dean. Spotting 'cover' attacks meant thinking like the NSA -- something Dean says the cadets did quite well. 'I was surprised at their creativity.' Legal limitations were a surprising obstacle to a realistic exercise. Ideally, the teams would be allowed to attack other schools' networks while also defending their own. But only the NSA, with its arsenal of waivers, loopholes, special authorizations (and heaven knows what else) is allowed to take down a U.S. network."<p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/120216&amp;from=rss"><img src="http://it.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=08/05/11/120216"></a></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/120216&amp;from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdotIt?a=5os5EB"><img src="http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdotIt?i=5os5EB" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/288048326" height="1" width="1"/> Soulskill 2008-05-11T13:00:00+00:00 military with-friends-like-these tech 137 137,132,106,82,26,16,10 http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/120216&from=rss http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~3/288023038/article.pl or_is_it writes "The company I work for has been growing dramatically and I've been charged with the task of being the gatekeeper for our GFI Spam filters.

McPherson condemns the state of data sharing and data mining in law enforcement, saying that the US causes itself a great deal of trouble by focusing more on "antiterror armor and nuke-sniffing devices" than a useful information distribution network. He discusses a few such projects, and how they could have directly affected the events of 9/11. Quoting: "One of those ingenious things that actually worked, Seisint founder Hank Asher's brilliant MATRIX system, remains mired in controversy and politics. Hank showed me MATRIX just a few short weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Using law enforcement data and commercial data, all of the commercial data available in the public domain, Asher's query produced [hijacker Mohamed] Atta's photo -- and about 80 others, many of them fellow 9/11 hijackers, many of them associates of the 9/11 hijackers. It was simple data mining and algorithms, and none of the information was obtained illegally."<p><a href="http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/08/2222254&amp;from=rss"><img src="http://it.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=08/05/08/2222254"></a></p><p><a href="http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/08/2222254&amp;from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdotIt?a=RAfriJ"><img src="http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdotIt?i=RAfriJ" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotIt/~4/286414478" height="1" width="1"/> Soulskill 2008-05-08T23:05:00+00:00 usa can't-they-just-google-it news 142 142,136,108,84,29,19,10 http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/08/2222254&from=rss Search Slashdot stories query http://it.slashdot.org/search.pl
