Chapter 7

Using the Automated Security Enhancement Tool (Tasks)

This chapter describes how to use the Automated Security Enhancement Tool (ASET) to monitor or restrict access to system files and directories.

The following is a list of the step-by-step instructions in this chapter.

For a more comprehensive tool than ASET, use the Sun Security Toolkit. The Sun Security Toolkit provides a framework for hardening and minimizing a Solaris system. The kit includes a profiling tool, a reporting tool, and an undo capability. The toolkit is free, and can be downloaded from the Sun web site, http://www.sun.com/software/security/jass. The web site contains pointers to online documentation.

The toolkit is described in detail in Securing Systems with the Solaris Security Toolkit, by Alex Noordergraaf and Glenn Brunette, ISBN 0-13-141071-7, June 2003. The book is part of the Sun BluePrints Series, which is published by Sun Microsystems Press.
