SELinux

an Introduction to MAC and DTe

To quote a now (in)famous security researcher "0-day can happen to anyone". While to a certain degree this may be true, SELinux with a well thought out policy can greatly limit the impact of an attack.

It will conclude with a demonstration of Type Enforcement protecting a system from an application/user-land attack
