Debian SbD: Apt Repository

Security Features

The below graphs indicate a rough estimate of the peak performance impact of all proposed systems combined. It is simply the addative combination of all performance measurements done herein, and not a precision measurement.

The red total accounts for the inability of -fomit-frame-pointer to increase the performance of an executable in the prescence of PIC; however, because most of the system is PIC anyway (every shared object, library, and plug-in is PIC), the overhead from PIE is in reality lower (possibly much lower).

Apt Repository

The Hardened Debian project supplies many useful packages which aid in the goals of enhancing the security of Debian. D:SbD encourages the efforts of the Hardened Debian project, and hosts an apt repository maintained by them.

The Hardened Debian repository contains things that are of direct interest to D:SbD, such as a compiler with SSP and hardened kernels with PaX enabled. It is, however, maintained by the Hardened Debian project and is neither the work of nor specifically maintained for the D:SbD project. We (D:SbD and HD) have mutual benefit in D:SbD hosting the repository.

The apt repository resides at http://d-sbd.alioth.debian.org/apt for now.

Note to Alioth staff: If there are policy problems with the hosting of this repository, contact Nigelenki@comcast.net. If this cannot be resolved, the repository will be removed.
