Red Hat Enterprise Linux Security Technologies Lab - Lucy Kerner and Roy Williams SecureWV/Hack3rcon 2018 (Hacking Illustrated Series InfoSec Tutorial Videos)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Security Technologies Lab
Lucy Kerner and Roy Williams
SecureWV/Hack3rcon 2018

In this lab, you'll learn about the built-in security technologies in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Specifically, you will use OpenSCAP to scan and remediate against vulnerabilities and configuration security baselines. You will then block possible attacks from vulnerabilities using Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) and use Network Bound Disk Encryption to securely decrypt your encrypted boot volumes unattended. You will also use USBGuard to implement basic whitelisting and blacklisting to define which USB devices are and are not authorized and how a USB device may interact with your system. You will also learn how to deploy opportunistic IPsec to encrypt all host to host communication within an enterprise network. Throughout your investigation of the security issues in your systems, you will utilize the improved audit logs and learn how to use the Audit Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE). You will also learn how to create a single sign-on environment for all your linux servers using Red Hat Identity Management and learn about GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) which can be used to identify yourself and encrypt your communications. You will also have a chance to learn how to use firewalld to dynamically manage firewall rules. Finally, you will make multiple configuration changes to your systems across different versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux running in your environment, in an automated fashion using Red Hat Ansible Automation, using the Systems Roles feature. If you want to participate in the hands on lab, please be sure to bring a laptop to the event with a SSH client and web browser (Firefox with plugins disabled recommended).
