Here we will discuss the status of the hardening features available out
there and try to get new ideas to make hardened distros even more hard.
Newbies are more than welcome to ask anything and share their thoughts.
This talk will be composed of two parts:
* On the first part we will talk again about how the hardening features
behind Gentoo Hardened work (this will be very similar to last year)
* On the second we will explain the new features we have added in Gentoo
Hardened since last year, how do they work and which are our objectives
as a project for the incoming year.
Here we will talk on eudev, the fork we created on udev in order to
pursue objectives that stopped being a priority for the original udev
maintainers, we will cover what our objectives are, how are we organized
and how do we work.
In this talk we will explain how some common attacks against vulnerable software work and will explain how the security measures used by the Gentoo Hardened project act against them along with the drawbacks they impose.
