Bastille is a system hardening / lockdown program which enhances the security of a Unix host. It configures daemons, system settings and firewalls to be more secure. It can shut off unneeded services like rcp and rlogin, and helps create "chroot jails" that help limit the vulnerability of common Internet services like Web services and DNS. This tool currently hardens Red Hat (Fedora Core, Enterprise and Legacy/Classic), SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, Mandrake Linux, HP-UX, Mac OS X and Turbo Linux. If run in the preferred interactive mode, it can teach you a good deal about security while personalizing your system security state. Bastille can also assess and report on the state of a system, which may serve as an aid to security administrators, auditors and system administrators who wish to investigate the state of their system's hardening without making changes to such. This assessment functionality has only been tested on Red Hat Linux (Fedora, Legacy, Enterprise) and SUSE systems.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
