Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Quick NIX Secure Script
Quick NIX Secure Script is used to harden and secure basic permissions and ownership on the fly. This script can be used during boot up, cron, bootstrapping, kickstart, jumpstart and during other system deployments. I recommend using CM tools like Puppet or Ansible, but this is still nice.
Why use this?
Many times in (prod)uction world prior admins harden without automation or towards an industry baseline. This is to help get to a point of standardization and quickly set or reset basic system security.
Use before or after app deploymentz. I don't set umasks, so everything should work regardless ^_^
Industry Compliance
This is influenced from DISA STIGs, ODAA, NSA and NIST/FIPs. This does not enforce towards those baselines, but helps minimize CAT I-III findings.
Requirements
- RHEL 5-6, Fedora 17-20, Ubuntu 10-13, Solaris 9-10 and OpenSolaris
- root or equivalent
- basic /bin /sbin /usr/bin executables
