Mac OS X 10.4 Security Checklist
November 28th, 2006 by xyberpix, Filed under: Commentary, Apple
Well, I know that this is a bit of a shameless plug, but I also think that it’ll help out anyone who tasked with securing OS X in any way or form. I’ve just finished working with a bunch of guys on putting this checklist together for the SANS S.C.O.R.E section on their website, so take a look and I hope it helps someone out. It covers all the basic parts of securing OS X, and is more than sufficient to get a lot of people started, and to end up with a much more secure OS X installation.

Any comments highly appreciated.

Nice!
We have been doing a hardening paper for OS X, since Panther, and currently doing one for Leopard. I think using both the Sans Checklist and our hardening guide would benefit anyone wanting to secure their OS X install.
White papers can be found here
Thanks Daniel, appreciate the feedback on this one.
I definately agree that working through both papers would be a damn good idea for anyone.
At least Virex or VirusBarrier are currently repairing files (word, or native malware) not just what it is mentioned.
