striker Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Guarding Linux Against RootkitsMmm, I think that is nice, but it would even be nicer to prevent those 'schmiruses' (thanks Scot ) to enter the system at all or at least have an direct indication before hand (not after the fact) that something is trying something nasty to do on the system.I think we all at ATL should post our ideas to that matter, maybe we all together could make some configuration we all use ?What do you all think about this idea?
