4. How to Worry About Linux Security (Linux Journal 8/28/06)
“Worry about a networked system is good, the trick is to worry about the right things & to act on our worries”
Folks you should worry about
Weapons you should worry about
Vulnerabilities You Should Worry About
How to channel worries into constructive action

5. Folks You Should Worry About
Mostly work you way outward, but once in awhile look from cracker's viewpoint
Identity Thieves Resource Thieves
Malicious Code Vandals
Corporate Spies Stalkers
Not all crackers are remote: INSIDERS

6. Weapons You Should Worry About
Mid 90's weapon was cracker at PC (or)
Direct interaction: attacker – victim
Usually correct, sometimes not
Today vast majority are automated
viruses, trojans and worms
botnet:
spammers paid per distribution node
DdoSers, Phishers
Crackers still here but most are “script kiddies”

7. Vulnerabilities You Should Worry About
a threat equals an attacker plus some vulnerability
If a vulnerability cannot be exploited it does not constitute a risk
No such thing as a completely invulnerable system but can lower %

8. Common types of vulnerabilities
Bugs in user-space software (applications)
Bugs in system software (kernel, drivers/modules, etc.)
Extraneous user accounts
Extraneous software (with bugs or sloppy/default settings)
Unused security features in applications
Unused security features in the OS
Gullible users

9. Recipe to convert worry to action
Define system function Sun Tzu: analyze terrain you need to defend
Prioritize types of attacks most likely
What data/resources most likely target
What vulnerabilities give access to #3
How can I lower/remove vulnerability
