NSA’s Security Configuration Guides
The National Security Agency (NSA) has written security configuration guides for many operating systems and applications. Very helpful when setting up a new network.
Wow! Your tax dollars being spent on something useful. I was expecting to see a lot more open source software on there. Especially under web servers they don’t even have a guide for Apache (which I am rather sure is still the most used web server).
Although there was an archived guide for redhat+apache, but it was from November of 2003. I like that in the “Guidelines for the Development and Evaluation of IEEE 802.11 Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)*” they have to define the word “should” in the terminology section.
Too bad these sites like many others favor Microsoft products.
