This Document is for LIDS ( Linux Intrusion Detection
System) Project and mainly about the impletementation of LIDS in
the kernel. The target of the LIDS is to enhance the current Linux
Kernel, to make it more solidate and more secure.
In order to
accomplish the target, LIDS uses the current Linux kernel resouce
and adds on some security features. In this HOWTO, I will say
something about the LIDS internal to those who concern the
inplementation of LIDS….”

“With increasing popularity of Linux on Internet , more and more
security holes are found in the current GNU/Linux system. You may
hear from the Internet that –ooh, There are bugs found in Linux,
which will cause the system to be easily compromised by
hacker.”

“Since the Linux is an art of open source community, security
holes can be found easily and can also be patched quickly. But when
the hole is disclose to the public, and the administrator is too
lazy to patch the hole, it is very easy to break into the current
system and it is worse that the hacker can get the root shell. With
the current GNU/linux system, he can do whatever he want. Now, you
may ask, what is the problem and what can we do?”
