I thought id share with yah guys how to help secure an ext2 filesystem like slackware or redhat.
First off after you have your server setup just the way you want do a :
chattr -R +i /
This will set your whole root file system imutable. Not even root can for the creation or modification of a file unless they do a chattr +i FILENAME. Whats really cool is that if you do a ls -l it will still show all of your original file atributes so if you do a chmod a+rwx / then make the file system is imutable . It will show all the files are writtable but you can't do crap unless you set it unmutable.
Whats really crazy is you can rm the chattr command and only allow a certain directory to install that commando to. So unless they know that directory which is writtable and not unmutable they won't be able to install the chattr command so in theroy they wont be able to change any files.
so the command
rm -fR / won't work
have fun and happy hacking
