BBeOS Security Analysis

🔒 Current Security Status

Foundation Security (Linux Kernel + Rootfs)

Secure Components:

  • Linux 6.8 Kernel: Latest security patches
  • BusyBox: Minimal, audited utilities
  • No unnecessary services: Minimal attack surface
  • Memory protection: MMU, ASLR support
  • Process isolation: Standard Linux process model

Security Gaps:

  • No access controls: No SELinux/AppArmor
  • No user management: Single root user
  • No network security: No firewall
  • No encryption: No disk/file encryption
  • No secure boot: No boot chain verification

🛡️ Security Recommendations

1. Enable Security Modules

# Add to kernel config:
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=y

2. Implement User Management

# Add user accounts:
- bbeos-user (normal user)
- system-user (system services)
- root (admin only)

3. Add Network Security

# Implement firewall:
- iptables/nftables rules
- Network filtering
- VPN support

4. Enable Secure Boot

# Boot chain verification:
- Kernel signature verification
- Initramfs integrity check
- Rootfs integrity check

5. Add Encryption

# Data protection:
- Disk encryption (dm-crypt)
- File encryption
- Secure key storage

🎯 Security Priorities

High Priority:

  1. User management - Separate root from normal user
  2. Network security - Basic firewall rules
  3. Access controls - SELinux/AppArmor policies

Medium Priority:

  1. Secure boot - Boot chain verification
  2. Encryption - Data at rest protection
  3. Audit logging - Security event monitoring

Low Priority:

  1. Advanced features - VPN, advanced crypto
  2. Compliance - FIPS, Common Criteria
  3. Penetration testing - Security validation

📊 Security Score

Current Foundation Security: 3/10

  • Minimal attack surface: +2
  • Latest kernel: +1
  • No access controls: -3
  • No user management: -2
  • No network security: -2
  • No encryption: -1

Recommendation: Implement basic security before adding features.
