AIX Operating System Hardening Procedures & Security Guide
Some security packages address the problem by stripping all (or nearly all) network services and then instruct you to be careful about what you add to the system. That's a great approach but requires that you "get your hands on" the system before anyone laye rs anything onto it and you understand what you're adding to the system when you add it back in. These are two conditions that do not apply at many sites.\xa0 The approach here is different.
