News Hardening Editorial Recommended books Recommended Links Documentation Etc

 Solaris[tm] Security Toolkit is Sun supported set of scripts for hardening Solaris. The current version of the Solaris Security Toolkit is 4.2 Supports Solaris 2.5.1-2.10 on both Intel and Solaris. The JASS development team includes Alex Noordergraaf (alex.noordergraaf@sun.com) and Glenn Brunette (glenn.brunette@sun.com). Undo was implemented by Dina Kurktchi (dina.kurktchi@sun.com). It looks like the toolkit is used internally in Sun. Release 4.0.1 provides some enchancements such as:

but generally scripts are badly written and have a weak architecture (essentially, no architecture at all). JASS does not represent any progress in comparison with Titan and ACET. For more information see my Slightly Skeptical JASS Notes.

The Solaris Security Toolkit 4.2 release is fully supported as part of Solaris Software Support Service Plans or the SunSpectrum(SM) Service Plan contract.
