grsec on a bridge firewall

Postby Shyamalan » Thu May 27, 2004 4:15 am

Hello,

We're working on a linux based tranparent bridge firewall. My question is, would grsec be useful on this bridge ?
This server will only be a firewall, no others services running, and no ip address.

Thanks a lot
Shyamalan

i guess your main/only worry would be about code that parses packets and can potentially have memory corruption bugs. given it's 'only' a bridge, it can probably be written bug-free ;-).
