  • What I am saying is that it looks significantly more daunting then it truly is, once you understand the basic concept of it (which I’m positing is actually fairly simple) the rest follows easily.

    Specifically here though I mean SELinux is “simple” if you understand how Linux works and operates, as you’re constraining syscalls and access


  • SELinux is super simple, you just gotta understand how the system works.

    Once you understand the syntax and flow of SELinux policy then writing it is easy. Writing GOOD policy on the other hand …. Lmao.

    Typically most IT departments “fix” it with setenforce 0 which is the equivalent of removing the seatbelt cuz you can’t figure out how to latch it.

    Android has one of the most “robust” applications of it but it doesn’t serve the purpose a good policy does, it does add a substantial layer of defense. Apple contracted my company to come out and teach them how to SELinux a few years back. Ultimately they (companies that desire SELinux as an added layer of defense) tend to just pay “us” to do it instead lmao.
