August status report from HardenedBSD |
|
The HardenedBSD project is a fork of FreeBSD which experiments with security features and hardening improvements. This allows people who typically use FreeBSD to test security features to see how useful or disruptive they will be before any changes are committed to the FreeBSD project. The August HardenedBSD newsletter shares a summary of changes being developed, including improved randomization and a custom firewall: "Loic fixed an issue MrUnix reported about a missing PaX ASLR macro when building a kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD32 enabled. Loic updated bsdinstall with a few changes, updating which sysctl nodes to set. I pulled in a change from OpenBSD that randomizes how often the chacha20-based arc4random(3) reseeds itself. HardenedBSD user "apache2" enabled multi-console booting by default, enabling use of the serial console by default." The project's status report offers more information. |
