[edit] Bastille Linux renamed to Bastille Unix
As of 11 September 2007, Bastille Linux has been renamed to Bastille Unix. A press release indicates that this has been due for some time, but an unfortunate mishap with the domain pushed the change forward.
[edit] Distributions
As of 27 January 2005, Bastille hardens these distributions:
- Debian
- Fedora Core
- Gentoo
- Mandriva
- Red Hat and Red Hat Enterprise
- SuSE and SuSE Enterprise
- TurboLinux
Other operating systems supported are HP-UX and Mac OS X. The lead developer is Jay Beale. The name most likely comes from the Bastille[citation needed].
[edit] Functionality
Bastille presents a series of console-based screens that present a short description and a multiple-choice prompt. This makes Bastille an interactive security tutorial for Linux beginners.
[edit] Other Linux hardening projects
- GrSecurity (kernel protections, MAC, and more)
- SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) (MAC / labeling)
- AppArmor
- LIDS
[edit] External links
- Bastille Unix and Bastille on Mac OS X (updated 12 September 2007 per [1].)
