AIX Security Expert

[Breslau]

AIX Security Expert is a system security hardening tool
(TCP, NET, IPSEC, system, auditing). It saves time and
ensures that all systems have the proper security
configuration in an enterprise environment. It was
added to AIX5.3 in TL6 (Aug 2006).

AIX Security Expert integrates over 300 security
settings into a simple menu for selecting High, Medium,
Low and Standard security. It also allows you to
customize individual settings. It can be used to
create a security profile that you can propagate to
other systems.

AIX Security Expert can be run from Web-based System
Manager, SMIT, or you can use the "aixpert" command.

For more information, search for "aixpert" on the
AIX5.3 web page:

I tried this on a Sandbox right after it came out. It took me about 15 minutes to turn the highest-level of security on....and 20 hours to turn it off.

enter with caution.
