ProShield For Linux

ProShield is a security program for Debian Linux. Regular use is recommended.

Here are some key features of "ProShield":

� Helps you backup your system weekly. � Checks for extra root accounts. � Checks account & password files for correct permissions. � Makes sure a few security-hazardous packages are not installed. � Checks for a packet sniffer. � Removes unneeded packages from the local package archive. � Checks for new software releases, in order to see if installed software is reasonably up to date. Smart-suggestion to upgrade if an important package is released. � Checks to see if 'apt' is fetching unnecessary information when checking for software updates. � Makes sure system time is accurate. � Checks to make sure the user isn't logged into the system (GUI) as root. � Checks the configuration of the ssh server ([sshd] if installed) for insecure settings. � At runtime, ProShield will also check to see if there has been a new version released, and can download and install it at the user's preference.

What's New in This Release:

� A slight improvement was made to the packet sniffer scan, so it shouldn't complain about DHCP daemons.
