Preventing General DoS Attacks Malformed Packet Attacks and Flooding
For the exam, you should know the six techniques SUN recommends implementing to help prevent DoS attacks against the Solaris operating system. These are disabling executable stacks, disabling extraneous IP services ports, using egress filtering, using firewalls, monitoring networks, and implementing a patch update program. To prevent and defend against DoS attacks, including malformed packet attacks and flooding, Sun Microsystems recommends using egress filtering, TCP wrappers, firewalling,...
How to Use Port Forwarding in Solaris Secure Shell
You can specify that a local port be forwarded to a remote host. Effectively, a socket is allocated to listen to the port on the local side. The connection from this port is made over a secure channel to the remote host. For example, you might specify port 143 to obtain e-mail remotely with IMAP4. Similarly, a port can be specified on the remote side. To use port forwarding, you must first enable port forwarding on the target Solaris Secure Shell server. 1. Assume the Primary Administrator...

Here are some of the key points from the certification objectives in Chapter 11. Explain How to Protect Files Using the Solaris Cryptographic Framework Algorithms can be symmetric secret key or asymmetric public key computational procedures used for encryption. In symmetric algorithms, the same key is used for both encryption and decryption, and in asymmetric algorithms, two keys are used one to encrypt and another to decrypt a message. Providers are cryptographic plug-ins that are used by...
Use the PAM Framework to Configure the Use of System Entry Services for User
10. 0 The PAM software consists of a library, various service modules, and a configuration file. The pam.conf file defines which modules to use and in what order the modules are to be used with each application. The PAM library provides the framework to load the appropriate modules and to manage the stacking process. The PAM library provides a generic structure to which all of the modules can plug in. The PAM framework provides a method for authenticating users with multiple services by using...

The first task that ABCD Inc. hired you to perform is to run ASET manually at the high security level. To avoid resource encumbrance, and knowing that ASET tasks should be run during off-peak hours or when system activities as well as the user load are low, you'll execute ASET promptly at 9 p.m. To do so, log in as root or become superuser and then issue the usr aset aset -l high -d usr asset command. At that time, you should notify the customer that you'll be gathering the report files to...
