Betreff: Hardening Guidelines - Sun Solaris 8, Red Hat Enterprise AS
3.0, SuSE Enterprise 8.0, VMWare ESX 2.1, AIX 5.1/5.2L


All,

I am developing hardening guides for different Unix and Linux OSs (including
VMWare ESX under which the Service Console runs under a hardened version of
Red Hat 7.2).

I want to corroborate these hardening guides I am developing with industry
best practices.  I currently have available those docs developed by SANS,
NIST, and the vendors themselves (Sun, VMWare, Red Hat and IBM) and others
(Armoring Sun Solaris, etc.).

Do any of you have good links for additional hardening information?  Your
recommendations are truly appreciated.

Rafael Rosado

Subject: RE: [cisspforum] 802.1X/WPA/802.11i WLANs (SECOND POSTING)

Andre,

I would if I could only get others that are currently upgrading their
802.11b WLAN models to 802.1X/802.11i (WPA + AES) to respond (that is why I
am sending this second post to the mailing lists).  Either other folks are
implementing 802.1X/802.11i and not wanting to share experiences, or not
upgrading at all.  Most people would like to hear what others are doing,
however, very reluctant to share information about what they are doing
themselves.

I am really interested in hearing from individuals that either have the
experience of implementing 802.1X/802.11i (not 802.11b) or individuals that
are currently in the process of implementing/upgrading to 802.1X/802.11i.
There is plenty of information about how 802.1X works (and how 802.11i is
supposed to work since it is not a ratified standard yet), but not enough
information available on successful implementations of these (or at least
not enough that people are willing to share).

I look forward to other implementers experiences and also in sharing with
them our experiences (on a one-on-one basis) offline.

Rafael, I (and surely the rest of the group) would be interested in hearing
the experiences of those using/testing 802.1X / WPA.  Can you summarize the
responses anonymously or pseudonymously once received?
 Thanks in advance.
