Securing FreeBSD under Macintosh OSX
- Abstract
- As the twenty year old Mac OS is slowly phased out in favour of the new, FreeBSD Unix-based OSX, the security picture for networked Macintosh hosts and servers changes dramatically. This instructional paper introduces a broad range of applicable security measures that can be taken to provide a basic level of resistance to intruders, malicious code and damage or compromise to ones PC and/or its electronic contents when using Macintosh OSX.
