SELinux by Example: Using Security Enhanced Linux David Caplan, Frank Mayer, Karl MacMillan
Publisher: Prentice Hall

The three authors are well versed in the topic and comprise the best team to write on SELinux that you could find. As we know Linux itself is based on discretionary access control, now with SElinux there is a mandatory access control layer within the kernel that along with DAC can provide rock solid security, I am going to be demonstrating the power of SElinux but first some theory on how it works. Red Hat Linux Security And Optimization (2002).pdf. It is an implementation of SCC and others. Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is on this example I will be creating a simple samba share that should be able to access from any client within my network. Red Hat Linux Networking And System Administration (2002).pdf. Using the example of the most popular open source backup and recovery software, Amanda, we will review best practices for ensuring security of backup data.

Now that SELinux is included in the Linux 2.6 kernel–and delivered by default in Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and other major distributions–it's easier than ever to take advantage of its benefits. Backup and recovery of clients running Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux). Karl MacMillan announces the release of a new SELinux book: SELinux By Example: Using Security Enhanced Linux, which he co-authored along with Frank Meyer and David Caplan of Tresys. Summary: Linux® has been described as one of the most secure operating systems available, but the National Security Agency (NSA) has taken Linux to the next level with the introduction of Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux). Security-Enhanced Linux Support SELinux is an enhancement to the standard kernel that provides fine-grained security MAC rules. SELINUX (Security-Enhanced Linux). SELinux takes For example, 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. For working with SELinux we have several tools available, most of them, are old friends: ls, ps, id, etc. SELinux was originally a development project from the National Security Agency (NSA), Secure Computing corporation (SCC) and others.
