Solaris, Secure by Default

If you know about OpenBSD (and you really should, it is a great OS) you may also know that one of their slogans are “Secure by Default” which now also Solaris is adopting. OpenBSD is one of the few operating systems you can put directly on the Internet and be quite sure that I won’t be hacked. By default only ssh is running and listening on a port. If you need any additional services to run you need to enable them yourself. This is of course common sense but OpenBSD was most likely first and they are doing an excellent job with regards to that. In addition they also provide a number of other great security features but I won’t go into them in this article.
