This packages includes several programs that will be run periodically in order to test the security of your system and alert you if needed.

Grsecurity

grsecurity is an innovative approach to security utilizing a multi-layered detection, prevention, and containment model. It offers among many other features:
  • An intelligent and robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that can generate least privilege policies for your entire system with no configuration
  • Change root (chroot) hardening
  • /tmp race prevention
  • Extensive auditing
  • Prevention of entire classes of exploits related to address space bugs (from the PaX project)
  • Additional randomness in the TCP/IP stack
  • A restriction that allows a user to only view his/her processes
  • Every security alert or audit contains the IP address of the person that caused the event
GrSecurity is a tool to enforce the security of the kernel itself.
