While we're at it, about the same goes for nikto right after that, section 1.2.3.3. I've got nikto-2.03-1.fc11.noarch, built by Fedora Project, just about like the Nessus, and also in the same releases/11/Everything/... directory. Also, john-1.7.0.2-7.fc11.x86_64 and crack-5.0a-11.fc11.x86_64, in section 2.1.3.2.1. Forcing Strong Passwords. Hmmm... Nessus is a special case where the scanner, itself, is FOSS everything is about it is not. You must register it before you can use it and it requires a $1200/yr license if you are using it commercially. I'm not sure what it gives you when you register it for "home" use. I'm not sure about nikto and crack. John, however, is available and is FOSS and doesn't require any type of registration. Let me see if I can change the text on John and figure out better words for Nessus. Created attachment 355882 [details]
Proposed patch for Wstation.xml
Just removed that note.
Created attachment 355887 [details]
Proposed patch for Vulnerability_Assessment
Clarified the Nessus content and removed the note about Nikto. I'd like to do more research on nikto, though, to see what can be added to this area to beef it up.
I'll apply these changes to the guide tonight and push an update. fedora-security-guide-en-US-1.0-18.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/fedora-security-guide-en-US-1.0-18.fc11 fedora-security-guide-en-US-1.0-18.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/fedora-security-guide-en-US-1.0-18.fc10 fedora-security-guide-en-US-1.0-18.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. fedora-security-guide-en-US-1.0-18.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Text should be fixed in latest release. Latest release is in the mirrors at this time. |
