Project description:
grsecurity is a complete security system for Linux 2.4 that implements
a detection/prevention/containment strategy. It prevents most forms of
address space modification, confines programs via its Role-Based
Access Control system, hardens syscalls, provides full-featured
auditing, and implements many of the OpenBSD randomness features. It
was written for performance, ease-of-use, and security. The RBAC
system has an intelligent learning mode that can generate least
privilege policies for the entire system with no configuration. All
of grsecurity supports a feature that logs the IP of the attacker
that causes an alert or audit.
