<< projects homeUser Reactions To Bastille Linux
Bastille-Linux should be a Red Hat user's FIRST download. Every healthcare organization utilizing Red Hat in any capacity should place running the Bastille-Linux scripts at the top of their must-do list for information security.
- James Haughom, C.T.O., Heathcare Information Sharing and Analysis Center Information Security Network
I think that Bastille's policy of user education provides the most intelligent way of securing a Linux box. Since Bastille tells the new system administrator the rationale behind every action, security is simpler to live with and more likely to work.
- Ben Stern, Mathematics Dpmt, University of Maryland
The reaction to Bastille has been excellent here, by the way. A couple of our department IT contacts and a lot of the students have raved about it, especially the ease-of-use and the run-time explanations. I think Bastille is currently doing something you can't find anyone else doing.
- S.Groppi., Harvard U.
Bastille can automate the process of locking down a machine, or it can be used interactively, both to give you control of what services get disabled or reconfigured, and also as an invaluable tutorial. Don't try to set up a Linux firewall or webserver without Bastille's help.
- J. Dunitz, Network Engineer, E-Commerce Network Resource Group, Inc.
Bastille has made me aware of many important linux security issues. I've learned a lot about configuring services and system settings from the step by step configuration program.
- Josh Soref, U. Maryland student
Bastille linux is a highly recommended way for the [ordinary users] to easily secure Redhat 6.0.
- Alan Bishoff, Maintainer, Packet Storm
Bastille forced me to think about more issues in setting up machines - issues that are too easy to gloss over when you're in a hurry. I'm also pleased to say that it tidied up some sloppy configuration and in fact made at least one of the machines here perceptibly faster than a stock RH6 install. Both of these are good things.

I wrote also some Firewall-scripts, I tested out yours, and so far, I liked yours the most :) Great Work.
