Linux Intrusion Detection System 2661509 207265645 2008-04-22T02:00:03Z Frap 612852 Added portal {{Portal|Free software|Free Software Portal Logo.svg}} {{Portal|Computer security}} In [[computer security]], the '''Linux Intrusion Detection System''' (LIDS) is a patch to the [[Linux kernel]] and associated administrative tools that enhances the kernel's security by implementing [[Mandatory Access Control]] (MAC). When LIDS is in effect, chosen file access, all system network administration operations, any capability use, raw device, memory, and I/O access can be made impossible even for root. You can define which programs can access specific files. It uses and extends the system capabilities bounding set to control the whole system and adds some network and filesystem security features to the kernel to enhance the security. You can finely tune the security protections online, hide sensitive processes, receive security alerts through the network, and more. LIDS currently support [[Linux kernel]] 2.6, 2.4. LIDS is released under the terms of the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL). == Awards == *Top 75 security tools in 2003, [http://sectools.org/tools2003.html http://sectools.org/tools2003.html] *Top 50 Security tools in 2000, [http://sectools.org/tools2000.html http://sectools.org/tools2000.html] *Best of Linux for October 9, 2000, [http://Linux.DaveCentral.com http://Linux.DaveCentral.com] ==External links== *[http://www.lids.org LIDS homepage] {{Linux}} [[Category:Linux security software]] [[ru:LIDS]] [[zh:LIDS]]
