PitBull LX |
PitBull Foundation |
|
Compartmentalization
Isolates processes from each other and from each other's files
unless explicitly allowed by the security policy, regardless
of User or Group ID.
|
 |
 |
|
Root Control
Root is all-powerful on a typical Unix system. With PitBull
it is possible to restrict this user as a regular user.
|
 |
 |
|
Domain Based Access Control
Unique form of Mandatory Access Controls able to support 4
types of access control : user, file, network, and process.
|
 |
|
|
File Security Flags
Security flags can be placed on files to dictate specific
behaviors. Flags are a flexible and easy tool to implement
system-wide security policies and restrict superuser privileges.
|
 |
 |
|
Process Security Flags
File execution flags define process interaction, including
whether a process may act on a file or network object or
whether a process should be subjected to additional
pre-defined restrictions. They provide a simple, flexible
method to implement system-wide security policies.
|
 |
|
|
Network Security
Controls which network resources can be used/accessed by which process(es).
|
 |
 |
|
NetRules
Firewall-style rule set to define fine-grained method of
network access control. NetRules can limit or completely
prevent processes from accessing the network, even in
the event of a process gaining superuser status.
|
 |
|
|
Enhanced Auditing
Additional PitBull-specific audit events.
|
|
 |
|
4-Eyes
Allows some user logins (typically administrator) or system
functions to require a second user login as a confirmation.
|
|
 |
|
PAM Support
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) support allows a
more flexible and extensible user authentication model,
and offers more centralized management options.
|
 |
 |
|
Boot Control
It's possible to restrict booting the system such that
a user/password combination is required.
|
|
 |
|
Easy Installation and Updates
|
|
|
|
Lock Down Scripts
Automatic configuration scripts to allow easy set-up for
commonly used architectures and applications, including
Apache webservers and generic system lock-down.
|
 |
|
|
100% Binary Compatibility With Base OS
System utilities and "Commercial Off The Shelf" (COTS) applications
may run normally without requiring modification. Also, integration
tools are provided to allow these COTS applications to be secured
in the new environment.
