SElinux and firewall

Hi there this is my coursework and i need someone to help me on it as soon as possible please. You can submit to turnitin as often as you like. Only the last submission you make counts. Look at the similarity index it generates, and work on keeping this below 7%. Numbers above 7% indicate a possible problem, increasing your chances of being referred to the Academic Conduct officer. However, iptable configurations in particular can produce many matches to other work, and so long as the matches are not all from one source matches related to configuration examples will not be counted towards the 7%. If you are in any doubt about your similarity result please ask. Outline You are to write a report consisting of ANY ONE topic from RESEARCH TOPICS and ANY ONE of the topics in TECHNICAL TOPICS. You should include: • Introduction - a short introduction • Discussion - a section containing the details required of that topic in a section. • Conclusions – the conclusions on that topic. • References – a list of web pages, books, or articles which you used in your report (and referred to directly in your text). Please remember that this is not a report in which “cut-and-paste” from the web is either sufficient of useful. It must be in YOUR words and opinion is YOUR PERSONAL REFLECTION on the topic, based and supported by the references used. If you have attempted this coursework before you can still choose freely from the topic lists. For example, if previously you attempted IMPACT you can again attempt that topic. However, each attempt must be a completely new attempt! Don’t just submit what you said already with some extra stuff added on. DO NOT USE ANY TEXT FROM A PREVIOUS ATTEMPT. RESEARCH TOPIC • • SElinux - The growth in interest in SElinux, including a discussion of what it is and how it differs from standard Linux. Discuss its pros and cons in a critical fashion. TECHNICAL TOPIC • FIREWALL – produce a report containing an iptable firewall definition for a system requiring the following features: o Full egress and ingress filtering (i.e. defaults are all REJECT) o The machine has only one network connection, eth0. o The machine runs ssh, telnet, apache, and qmail. o It should be able to surf the web, send email, and make DNS lookups. o The apache user should not be allowed to surf the web o You should make the rest of the rules as security focused (and sensible) as possible. As part of this section, you should document your approach to the firewall, discuss any issues which arise, and annotate your specification. Draw suitable conclusions concerning your approach
