Introduction:
 
Among the most significant features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux is SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux), a powerful, kernel-level security layer that provides fine-grained control over what users and processes may access and execute on a system. By default, SELinux is enabled on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, enforcing a set of mandatory access controls that Red Hat calls the targeted policy. These access controls substantially enhance the security of the network services they target, but they can sometimes affect the behavior of third-party applications and scripts that worked under previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This course provides a four-day tutorial on SELinux and SELinux policy writing. The first day of the course provides an introduction to SELinux, how it operates within the Red Hat targeted policy, and the tools used to manipulate it. You will spend the remaining days learning how policies are written, compiled, and debugged.

This culminates in a project in which you will create a set of policies from scratch for a previously unprotected service. You'll analyze the service to determine its security needs, design and implement a set of policies, test and fix the policies, document the service's new policies so that others can effectively administer the service.
 
Audience:
 
Designed for computer security specialists and other system administrators responsible for setting and implementing security policies on a Linux computer. Applications programmers also may consider taking the course to understand how to provide a set of SELinux policies for third-party applications.

In-depth knowledge of SELinux is not required, but you should have a basic understanding of the SELinux security layer. For example, SELinux information as taught in RH133 or RH300 is sufficient.
 
Prerequisites:
 

RHS429 requires RHCE-level skills. Prerequisite skills can be shown by passing the RHCE Exam in either RH302 or RH300, by taking RH253, or by possessing comparable skills and knowledge.

Note that RHS427 is not a prerequisite to this course; rather, that one-day introduction to SELinux constitutes the first day of this course: the remaining three days cannot be taken separately.
