Title: SELinux Policy - Bitcoin
Post by: mizerydearia on September 15, 2010, 03:09:42 PM
I am learning SELinux and would like to establish a policy for Bitcoin.  Does anyone have any experience with SELinux and has established any related efforts?

At the moment I haven't established any results.  I have no idea where to begin.  I do not understand c++ code.

Ubuntu? Debian?

I am interested in the results. :)

Actually you don't need to.

I haven't elaborated in writing a specific SELinux policy for the Bitcoin, but instead put it running as a separate SELinux user and at user_t. That protection/isolation seemed reasonable for me.

What are you targeting with the SELinux policy module?
What are the specific threats are you concerned with?

Do you protecting the system from the violent network, or trying to defend the wallet?
Can you elaborate on that more?

I wouldn't mind in providing help.

I am uncertain what is necessary to protect against as I am still new to SELinux.  However, if there is a kind of extra layer of protection that can be established, I would like to learn more about it and possibly help to establish it.

So you are going to devote your time to whatever it could be?
Hmm...

It is principially important to define the goals of policy, since that will affect it directly.
