System security

Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)
Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) is a standard feature of HP-UX 11i security capabilities, making HP the only systems vendor to offer its own host intrusion detection product. HIDS enhances host-level security with near real-time automatic monitoring of each configured host for signs of potentially damaging intrusions.^w87

Other system security highlights include:

• Stack buffer overflow protection—uses a combination of highly efficient software and existing memory management hardware to protect against both known and unknown stack buffer overflow attacks. Eliminates need to modify a program’s code to get stack buffer overflow protection, unlike other products that require time-consuming program modifications, recompilation, or relinking.^w87

» Stack buffer overflow protection in HP-UX 11i white paper (104KB, PDF, 11/01)

• Security patch check—Perl script that performs analysis of file sets and patches installed on an HP-UX machine and generates a report of recommended security patches.^w87
• HP-UX Bastille—is a security hardening/lockdown tool that enhances the security of an HP-UX Unix host. It accommodates the various degrees of hardening required of servers used for webs, applications and databases. By answering a series of security and usability questions, the server is tightened appropriately for its use. It configures daemons, system settings, and firewalls to be more secure. It turns off unneeded services such as pwgrd and printing, and it configures client software such as rcp and rlogin to be more secure. It also helps create “chroot jails” that help limit the vulnerability of common Internet services such as Web servers and DNS.^w87

• HP-UX Install-Time Security
  Install-time Security (ITS) is available to HP-UX 11i version 2 customers as an install option to lockdown systems during installation. ITS makes HP-UX more secure out-of-the-box when customers select higher security levels. There are four choices, including a maximum compatibility level which provides security tools, but doesn’t apply a security level, because they represent tradeoffs between security, functionality, productivity, and usability.^w87

  When the customer selects a level, Bastille will fit it to their system. Here are some examples of what ITS does:

  • Run Security Patch Check and setup a cron job to help them become and stay current with security patches announced in security bulletins.^w87
  • Configure IPFilter at higher security levels to block incoming network connections. A new Bastille HP-UX11iv2 feature.^w87
  • Shutdown services with security tradeoffs. — Enhanced in HP-UX 11iv2^w87
  • Allow, at customer option, select authenticated management network connections into the machine.^w87

  The security level choices for Install-time Security are:

  • Tools Only — Installs HP-UX Bastille, Security Patch Check, HP-UX Secure Shell, and HP-UX IPFilter for the customers later use either individually or by running Bastille interactively.^w87
  • Host, — Performs roughly 50 host-based lockdown including turning off many services with security tradeoffs other than telnet and ftp, and many settings to their more secure state.^w87
  • DMZ applies the Host level then disables telnet and ftp. It then uses IPFilter to block all inbound network connections except Secure Shell. This level is suitable for deployment in a network De-Militarized Zone: a firewall-protected “neutral zone” typically between the Internet and an intranet. It does this by implementing the automatable portions of the General Configuration Policy section of the SANS consensus model “Internet DMZ Equipment Policy.”^w87
  • Managed DMZ. This level is the same as DMZ but allows select authenticated management protocols inbound.^w87

  Install-time Security is available in the foundation HP-UX 11i version 2.

• Certification — HP-UX 11i is Hewlett-Packard’s UNIX®-based operating environment specifically targeted at Internet applications. HP-UX 11i delivers an end-to-end scalable, manageable, and secure infrastructure for developing, deploying, and brokering mission-critical e-services. HP-UX 11.11 is evaluated and certified to the Common Criteria evaluation assurance level EAL4, against the functional requirements in the Controlled Access Protection Profile (EAL4-CAPP). The target environment is for systems that may execute on a single HP 9000 Server or be connected to other HP 9000 Servers identically configured to form a local distributed system implementing a unified security policy. The details can be viewed at http://niap.nist.gov/cc-scheme/vpl_type.html.^w87
  
  HP also offers a version of HP-UX that is B1 certified.

Network security

HP demonstrates its commitment to network security with HP-UX 11i’s rich set of standards-based and directory-enabled network security features that enable you to build your e-business without compromising corporate security:^w87

[画像:screen shot of advisor web page]

Support for the following major wireless-LAN authentication types: PEAP, TLS, TTLS, GTC, MSCHAP (in addition to already supported LEAP, MD5)^w87

A GUI wireless LAN Advisor provides instructions to configure user based authentication and WEP/WPA key distribution in a wireless LAN environment. This “Advisor” is an HTML tutorial/help system that simplifies the process for securing WLANs with the AAA server.^w87

“Self-signed” AAA server digital certificates created during installation. Users now deploy a secured TTLS and PEAP environment without a having to generate digital certificates^w87

DHCP Interface. The AAA server can now assign IP addresses generated by a DHCP server.^w87

Support for Microsoft NT domain name syntax. Users can authenticate with either the standard network access identifier syntax (user@domain) or NT domain syntax (domain\user).^w87

“If you’re a UNIX user, all UNIX are pretty much the same. If you’re a UNIX programmer, all UNIX are a little bit different. If you’re a UNIX system admin, all UNIX are completely different! That’s comming from ULTRIX, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Digital UNIX experiences. Might as well count linux, too.” —Bob Koehler, Hubble Space Telescope Payload Flight Software Team
