Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

SELinux Testing Software/Scripts: msg#00104

Subject: SELinux Testing Software/Scripts
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

This may sound like an odd request, but I am currently working on my master’s thesis on the topic of SELinux integration into the workplace. Part of the analysis involves testing the security containment capabilities of SELinux; i.e., making sure that SELinux functions as advertised when dealing with events of escalating privilege. Does anyone on this list have any recommendations on scripts or programs which can test these capabilities? My test platforms are Fedora Core 3 (once released) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4.0 Beta 1. My current thinking would be to downgrade certain packages (httpd, etc) to a known vulnerable state and test, but would like to know how the members on the list test their systems.  Any help would be appreciated.  I can be reached at ackermal at jmu dot edu or alex at darkhonor dot com if you would like to discuss this off-list.  Thank you for any assistance.
