Greetings.
Kevin asked me to take a look at the CSI Security Policy (I believe it was recently tweaked). I have a few questions that I'd like to ask in
+hopes that I will learn and maybe we'll add some more good information to the policy.
First, in section 2.2 the policy discusses host general security. All of this information relates specifically to IPv4 settings. Now I don't
+have a good enough understanding of all the possibilities in sysctl but I know that ip6tables can be similarly configured for IPv6 networks.
+Now it should be said that if you don't have IPv6 deployed that all IPv6 paths should be shut down and tools turned off to avoid utilizing
+anything that may open up a path, unexpectantly, into the system. But if you are utilizing IPv6 we shouldn't forget about these paths and
+should harden our systems against their misuse. Perhaps someone could help me with the sysctl stuff?
Next, in the incident response I see there are great plans for safeguarding the evidence after an incident has occurred. I would like to
+caution that one person's way of obtaining the information is not the next person's way of doing so. I'd like to see specific commands to be
+run, that the drive is mounted as read-only while obtaining the images, and what safeguarding needs to occur with these images and what the
+procedure is, for the hard drive, once an image has been obtained.
Also, should we talk about remote authentication methods that should be used (ssh keys (RSA or DSA)(bit strength), encryption standards to be
+used while transmitting data, what data should be stored encrypted and how should that be done, etc. I know how we (Fedora) does it now but
+others that might look at this guide for... guidance... would probably want to know this information. My thought is that we should document
+stuff that we are doing now even if it seems common sense.
This is really some good stuff in that guide and I'd like to see even more technical information and technical explaination so we can continue
+to be leaders in how things should be done in FLOSS community.
