Slackware System Hardening

Slackware System Hardening

This is a list of some of the steps I take to improve the security on my
Slackware systems. It is by no means complete. You can either do all of
the things I do, or you can choose only the ones you feel would help secure
your system.

WARNING: Hardening a system is a compromise between security
and usability. Some of the things I do would adversely
affect the usability of your system and may very well
break things. Please have one of the following on hand
just in case you lock yourself out of your system:

Tom's Rootboot - http://www.toms.net/rb/
The "Live" CD that comes with the official version of
Slackware.

And of course, make sure you have a bootdisk. You do
have a bootdisk, right? If you don't have one, run
/sbin/makebootdisk.

You should also make a backup of any anything that you
feel is important, would be hard to replace, or that
you simply cannot do without. If you are either new
to linux or don't know what you are doing, you could
very easily get carried away with hardening a system
and end up with a system that is unusable.

You have been warned.

Note: - Line numbers correspond to the rc.scripts in Slackware 8.0.
- The settings assume only one user is on the system, "dentonj".
- Associated man pages are listed.
- I will comment this document as I get to it.

Note: Don't run these if you like to make the passwd and shadow
file immutabled (chattr +i ...). It gets ugly.

man chmod

To make things easier, you can download a file that contains the
above list and run the short awk command below:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/sastk/SAStk/src/fileperm
awk -F: '{
print "chmod "$1" "$4
system ("/bin/chmod "$1" "$4)
print "chown "$2"."$3" "$4
system ("/bin/chown "$2"."$3" "$4)
}' < fileperm

man chmod
man chown
man gawk

More chmod:
chmod -R o-rwx /var/log
chmod -R go-rwx /home/dentonj
chmod -R go-rwx /root

man chmod

Find SUID/SGID files and directories:
find / -type f $ -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 $ -ls > suid_files.out
find / -type d $ -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 $ -ls > suid_dir.out
chmod ug-s <file> # To remove the SUID/SGID bit

man chmod
man find

Find world and group writable files and directories:
find / -type f $ -perm -2 -o -perm -20 $ -ls > write_files.out
find / -type d $ -perm -2 -o -perm -20 $ -ls > write_dir.out

already trojaned commands will just ruin your day.
Otherwise, copy the commands from the "Live CD" that

rc.firewall:
This is one of the ipchains packet filter scripts that I've
put together. Don't ask me about iptables. If you want a
statefull packet filter, you should really be running OBSD.

The following is a script that I add to the beginning of /etc/profile. While
the script is a nice idea, it's very easy for someone to avoid . I've never
had any of my systems cracked since I've started using it, so I have no idea
if this script will actually stop anyone. It would most likely catch someone
in the act, after they exploited a security hole, but before the system has
been r00ted. A r00ted system wouldn't even bother reading /etc/profile.

-- Begin script added to /etc/profile --
# Kick and ban users that are UID 0 but are NOT root!
if [ `id -u` = "0" -a `echo $USER` != "root" ]; then

# Lock the user out
passwd -l $USER

# Save some info

netstat -apent >> /root/SHIT
