indirect
or
incidental damage arising from this information or the installation of
the update package.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Tools developed by SuSE (all open source) and included in SuSE 6.3 :

SuSE FTP Proxy - The first program of the SuSE Proxy Suite.
A secure FTP proxy with support for SSL, LDAP, command
restriction, active and passive FTP support, and much
more.
RPM: fwproxy.rpm, fwproxys.rpm (SSL - not in the US
version)

SuSE Firewall - The new firewall script from SuSE, rewritten from
scratch.
Autodetection of interface information, masquerading,
autoprotection of services, protection from internal
networks, fail-close design and easy to configure.
RPM: firewals.rpm

Harden SuSE - A special script for hardening a SuSE Linux 5.3 - 6.3.
By answering 9 questions, the system is reconfigured
very
tightly. e.g. disabling insecure network services,
removing
suid/sgid/world-writable permissions which are not
critical.
RPM: hardsuse.rpm

SuSE Secumod - This loadable kernel module enhances the security of
the
system by adding a symlink/hardlink/pipe protection,
procfs protection, trusted path execution and
capabilities.
RPM: secumod.rpm

SuSE Secchk - These are cron scripts which run daily, weekly and
monthly
to check the security of the system and compare them to
the
last run.
RPM: seccheck.rpm

Yast-1 - New administration menu for setting password aging,
authentication fail delay and logging of logins +
failures.
RPM: yast.rpm

SuSE auditdisk - Please note that this tool is in beta phase!
This tool generates a bootdisk with checksum data and
all
binaries etc. needed to automaticaly verify file
checksums
upon booting. This way it can't be subverted by lkm's
like
a
standard e.g. tripwire installation.
WWW: http://www.suse.de/~marc - not included on SuSE
6.3
yet

Watch out for updates of these tools on our WWW or FTP update sites.
Although these are tools developed by SuSE, they (should) work on any
Linux
distributions with little problems.


New tools included in the SuSE Linux distribution (not created by SuSE):

FreeS/WAN - IPSEC implementation to build secure VPN tunnels via
public
networks.
RPM: freeswan.rpm (not in the US version)

GNU Privacy Guard - A free pgp-like tool for secure (not limited to
email)
communication. Frontends are also included.
RPM: gpg (not in the US version)

Nessus - A very good network security scanner!
RPM: nessus

plus tmpwatch, arpwatch, plug, sslwrap, the newest nmap and more.
"Old" packages include: john, saint, cipe, pgp, scanlogd, ssh, tripwire,
etc.
