Chapter 8 File Security

Objectives To show the three protection and security mechanisms that UNIX provides To describe the types of users of a UNIX file To discuss the basic operations that can be performed on a UNIX file To explain the concept of file access permissions/ privileges in UNIX To discuss how a user can determine access privileges for a file To describe how a user can set and change permissions for a file To cover the commands and primitives ? , ~ , * , chmod, groups, ls – l, ls – ld, umask Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.

Password-based Protection All login names are public knowledge and can be found in the /etc/passwd file. Change password using: yppasswd, nispasswd Discovering a user’s password: 1) You, as the owner of an account, inform others of your password 2) a password can be guessed by another user 3) a user’s password can be extracted by “brute force” Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.

Encryption-based Protection Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.

Protection based on Access Permission Types of users User (owner), group, others A user with multiple groups Types of Access Permissions Read, write, and execute Access Permissions for Directories Directory search Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.

Default file access privileges umask mask The access permission value on executable file or directory is computed by: file access permission = 777 – mask Current Value of the mask: $ umask 777 $ Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.

Special Access Bits The Set-User-ID (SUID) Bit If this bit is set for a file containing an executable program for a command, the command takes on the privileges of the owner of the file when it executes. chmod 4xxx file-list chmod u+s file-list The Set-Group-ID (SGID) Bit Causes the access permission of the process to take the group identity of the group to which the owner of the file belongs. chmod 2xxx file-list chmod g+s file-list The Sticky Bit Can be set for a directory to ensure that an unprivileged user cannot remove or rename files of other users in that directory. chmod 1xxx file-list chmod +t file-list Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley.
