Bastille is a system hardening / lockdown program which enhances the security of a Unix host. It configures daemons, system settings and firewalls to be more secure. It can shut off unneeded services like rcp and rlogin, and helps create "chroot jails" that help limit the vulnerability of common Internet services like Web services and DNS. This tool currently hardens Red Hat (Fedora Core, Enterprise and Legacy/Classic), SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, Mandrake Linux, HP-UX, Mac OS X and Turbo Linux. If run in the preferred interactive mode, it can teach you a good deal about security while personalizing your system security state. Bastille can also assess and report on the state of a system, which may serve as an aid to security administrators, auditors and system administrators who wish to investigate the state of their system's hardening without making changes to such. This assessment functionality has been tested on HP-UX, Red Hat Linux (Fedora, Legacy, Enterprise) and SUSE systems. To install: Please use the distribution-specific method for installation. On Red Hat, Mandrake and SuSE, this involves installing the RPM. On Debian, you should use apt-get or download the deb package. On Gentoo, please use emerge. Finally, on HP-UX, please use your vendor supplied package. See www.bastille-linux.org for more information. To run: bastille [ -b | -c | -x ] [ --os version ] bastille [--assess|--assessnobrowser] bastille [ -l | -r ] See bastille(1m) for detailed discussion of options.
