New Approaches to Building Access Control Systems Using WEB Technologies

Posted on

The evolution of technology has significantly impacted access control system architecture. By tracing its development, we can predict what awaits us in the near future. The Past Long ago, computer networks were still quite rare. The early access control systems were structured as follows: a master controller serviced a limited number of controllers, while a computer acted as a terminal for its programming and display […]

Preparing the Application for Istio

Strace utilizes the ptrace mechanism for its operations. Starting from version 4.13, the release generation of the program has been synchronized.

Patches to restrict root access to the internals of the kernel have been accepted into the Linux kernel 5.4

Posted on

Linus Torvalds has accepted a set of 'lockdown' patches into the upcoming release of the Linux kernel 5.4, proposed by David Howells (working at Red Hat) and Matthew Garrett (working at Google) to restrict root user access to the kernel. The functionality associated with 'lockdown' has been moved to an optionally loadable LSM module (Linux Security Module), which establishes a barrier between UID 0 and.
