Security and TCP/IP Servicess

  1. Using TCP/IP Services
  2. IP Names
  3. IPv6 addresses some of the security related limitations of IPv4 (32-bit address -> 128-bit address)
  4. IPSEC - adds encryption, authentication, & key management (at the network layer)
  5. TCP Wrappers - moves network services to another location and puts the tcpd in its place and the changes are recorded in /etc/inetd.conf:
    telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd becomes
    telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
