Hoofdstuk 11 Controlling Access thtough Firewall and SELinux

SELinux

context for subjects and objects
context contains a type or domain and a security level with subject and object information
-u user, _r role, _t domain

Domain transitioning allows a proces in one domain to enter another domain to execute an application authrized to run in that domain only, a proper rule must exist to support such a transition.

Commands

id -Z                                                      View context set on Linux user
ls -Z                                                      Determine context for files
ps -eZ                                                     Determine context on processes
