Oh, Ok. Sorry then. I've used Bastille since it came out. I know there's more to linux security than what it does, but it is very very useful for setting some baseline things up post install. It doesn't do everything, but what it does is easy to forget between deployments. It also explains everything it does in detail so it helps you learn aswell as refreshes your memory.
It has worked fine for these 13 or 14 years of use. It has been developed until 2012 and was mature. It worked fine with debian wheezy untill 7.8 or so, something in TK, perl, and ncurses was changed in this "stable" release which makes it so the TK interface wont come up and the ncurses interface can't save it's config and then can't apply your changes. ... and people on here say "good, it could never ever work" when it did work for over a decade at the very useful things it did. --- amr...@gmail.com wrote: From: Roy Nielsen <amr...@gmail.com> To: usspookslovesyste...@muchomail.com Subject: Re: [Dng] Please!! revive Bastille hardening tool for Devuan - Frauds and liars Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:51:13 -0700 I actually am not making a joke of it. If you look around hard enough, you will find that there is a project in the works, that will hopefully be released later this year.

The goal wasn't to dot every I and cross every T. The goal was to dot as many i's and as many T's one could think of in a normal Linux (UNIX LIKE LINUX) install. And that goal WAS achieved. Bastille is a great post-install script to run. Do you remeber every fucking little niggling thing you need to configure in the realm of security? Your answer to potentially having a FALSE sence of security is to ha NO SECURITY. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! Please. Support/Package Bastille-Linux hardening tool for Devuan. Also a hardened with grsecurity kernel would be good aswell (or is that FALSE sense of security too?) You fucking clowns. Everyone can see through your conflict of interest as security contracters. A tool exists that makes it a little easier for everyone and you reject it. You know with Intel Active Management Technology in every chip (AMD has something similar, as do the ARM chipsets) how can you fucking jokes even talk about security and false senses thereof? There is no security, there are backdoors... but atleast one can TRY, and package / use WHAT OTHERS have allready created FOR YOU. Oh... but that might cut down on your consulting biz. Fuck you you frauds. Thousands have been donated to you and you've just pocketed it. --- amr...@gmail.com wrote: From: Roy Nielsen <amr...@gmail.com> To: dng@lists.dyne.org Subject: Re: [Dng] Please!! revive Bastille hardening tool for Devuan Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 11:10:27 -0700 I don't believe the task is impossible, I'm sure there are people working on such a tool and perhaps they will even open source it!

Linux security needs an overhaul but your bastille script is off mark. --Gravis While “it's old” is not really an argument, I tend to agree that Bastill e is not something anyone should waste their time on, and that's for the simp le reason of it being a script that tries to magically make your system mor e secure, which is: 1) Impossible to solve in a general sense. 2) Creating a false sense of security. 3) Hell to maintain if you actually try to accomplish the assumed goal. Security is a delicate thing, you should never rely on magical solutions . Instead, learn linux, learn security, implement the needed levels of sec urity yourself. That, or pay an infosec specialist. Don't run magic scripts. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng __________________________________________________________ The Free Email with so much more! =====> http://www.MuchoMail.com <===== _____________________________________________________________ The Free Email with so much more! =====> http://www.MuchoMail.com <===== _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
