NetBSD Security Enhancements: Recent Developments Overview

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Running on almost twenty different architectures, and easily portable to others, NetBSD gained its reputation as the most portable operating system on the planet. While that may indicate high quality code, the ever demanding networked world cares about more than just that. Over the past year, NetBSD evolved quite a bit in various areas. This paper, however, will focus on those aspects relating to security. This paper was written and structured to present a full overview of the recent security enhancements in NetBSD in an easily readable and balanced form that will satisfy new, intermediate, and experienced users. References were sprinkled across the text to provide more information to those who want more detail, while preserving the continuity.

Secure Remote Access With FreeNX and SSH for Linux Desktops

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

NX short form for NoMachine's X protocol is a compression technology developed by NoMachine which allows one to run complete remote desktop sessions (be it Linux or Windows) even at dial up internet connection speeds. One of the advantages of using NX technology over VNC is that NX uses SSH on port 22 for connection between the client and the server. Which means all the communication takes place encrypted through industry standard SSL public key cryptography.

Mozilla Corp. has hired a former Microsoft security strategist to help secure its open-source software, particularly its Firefox browser. Window Snyder, whose hiring was announced last week, takes the title of "Chief Security Something" -- that's a working title, and not all that unusual for a company headed by someone who once held the title of "Chief Lizard Wrangler" -- said she has big plans for the group's development efforts.

Mozilla on Sept. 14 reissued the popular open-source Firefox Web browser, and its email counterpart, Thunderbird, with new security and stability fixes. Each of the open-source apps rolls to version 1.5.0.7. Firefox 1.5.0.7 comes with fixes for half-a-dozen minor security vulnerabilities. The first of these is a patch that will prevent possible attacks from opening a previously blocked popup that was using an XSS (cross-site scripting) attack.

AppArmor: Novell's User-Friendly Framework for Linux Security

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

With its latest entry into the Linux desktop market, Novell plans to make Linux more secure and make that security easier to manage, company officials said at the LinuxWorld conference. The software maker decided against adopting security modifications to the Linux kernel developed by the National Security Agency, known as SE Linux, because of the system is extremely difficult to configure. Instead, the Waltham, Mass. firm developed a framework for restricting applications known as AppArmor, which it released as an open-source project in January.
