Does anyone know of an application which delivers one-click security for a non-technical end user?
Currently I know of Bastille and Mandrake security levels which do something similar. Bastille is good, but very involved (it explains everything, but not everyone wants to go through 50 questions to secure their box). Mandrake security levels are quite good but focus on the security you want.
I think there should be a nice, simple, graphical app. which asks the questions "what do you want to do with this box?" and applies the maximum security based on that level.
For example, Eric Raymond's poor
Aunt Tillie shouldn't have to answer lots of questions, nor should she have to understand what "Paranoid" security means. She should be asked what she wants to do with her computer and have it secured as far as possible based on the answer. e.g. stand-alone PC, print server, file server, web server.
Such an app could offer advanced settings, but they should always be to make the computer less secure, not more (i.e. you secure everything, this re-enable things in the advanced settings).
I haven't been able to find anything which is doing this; and I'm tempted to have a go at something myself.
