Linux security
 

I am trying to do research paper about Linux security, I need help in this field.
Some advice to find resources.

Thess might be good starting points:

http://www.linuxsecurity.com/

http://www.linuxtopia.org/LinuxSecurity/

Google is your friend.

See the sticky posts at the top of this forum eg 'Security references'.

Lotsa good stuff here:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/20245...n_windows.html This link looks like a good article for you too read.

Also ... approach your research by clearly establishing what you mean by "security" in your paper or in a particular part of it, then follow-through on that setup by explaining how the Linux kernel (in its "stock" and/or in its "hardened" forms) does or does not address that particular meaning of the term. Since the term "security" is quite broad, it is also nebulous. Plant a particular target in the ground, then shoot it bulls-eye, then plant another target and repeat until the paper's done. Make it very clear to the reader (professor) what the intended target is, and also what it is not.
