Bastille Hardening Program
You have heard of DISA’s Gold Disk as a tool to harden a Windows machine. Well, Bastille is a program specifically designed to harden a Linux box. Users can choose to run the program through command line or a GUI. Bastille is designed for use on Red Hat, Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo, HP-UX, or Mac OS X. The web site offers an easy how-to for installation. On my OpenSuSE 10.3 machine, I had to add Perl-TK and the Curses packages for the GUI to work.
Through the GUI, Bastille asks the user a set of questions, and the user’s answers determine what settings are applied to the system. One of the best features of Bastille is the ability to revert to previous settings if unwanted settings are applied.
