Linux Intrusion Detection System 0.10.1 for 2.2.19 by Huagang Xie (http://freshmeat.net/users/xhg/) Monday, August 20th 2001 17:50 Categories: Security, System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux About: The Linux Intrusion Detection System (LIDS) is a patch which enhances the kernel's security by implementing a reference monitor and Mandatory Access Control (MAC). When it is in effect, chosen file access, all system/network administration operations, any capability use, raw device, memory, and I/O access can be made impossible even for root. You can define which programs can access specific files. It uses and extends the system capabilities bounding set to control the whole system and adds some network and filesystem security features to the kernel to enhance the security. You can finely tune the security protections online, hide sensitive processes, receive security alerts through the network, and more. Changes: Porting time_scale and port_scale support from LIDS 1.0.14-2.4.9, fixes for the copy lids parameter when fork() and capability checking in lids_bind_checker(), fixes to Config.in to allow users to change the default selected item when reconfiguring the kernel, and code cleanups in the lidsadm package.
