REDPILL ME ON SELINUX

IS IT THE MOST SECURE LINUX EVER?

Yes totally secure, mossad aproved

Selinux was created by the NSA, so do the math.

selinux stops retards doing retarded things. It literally protects the system from stupid users. It's great and should be default enforcing on every Linux distribution.

>>60330671
Use Qubes instead.
>>
>>60330671
yes, it is the SECUREST

>>60330996
it's just an acl

>>60330671
It's a defense-in-depth thing. By itself it won't save you from much. (and it WILL cause something or other to mysteriously fail until you think to check if its SELinux doing it...) Its value is in limiting the damage an attacker can do after they've made the initial break.

>>60334727
so why are they satisfied with this?
why don't they do full kernel hardening like grsecurity does?
it'd be really nice seeing as how the latter is now only available for subscribers
>>
>>60330671
Use AppArmor instead.

Some of the grsec stuff has gone upstream, and some more is in the pipeline (eg, more kernel mode ASLR) Some other stuff will never be upstream because its ugly, hackish, and difficult to maintain, and/or it violates Linus's rule of "never break userspace". (Linus said as much in a mailing-list post at some point, go look it up if you like)

Also note that SELinux and grsec are different beasts. SELinux is MAC. Essentially a turbocharged permissions and user/group system, the idea being that processes should have least-privilege way beyond what you can do with ordinary user permissions. (one example I ran into was that it won't let OpenVPN use certificates unless those certificates are where it expects them to be.) Grsec is all about making the exploit harder to attain in the first place by bolting things down in kernel code - like the aforementioned ASLR.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
