join forces? #8

Closed blshkv closed 7 years ago

blshkv commented 7 years ago

I'm looking for a replacement of grsecurity patch and found a link (https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2017-08-19-hardened-sources-removal.html) to your site.

Meanwhile, there is a new initiative from multi-distro (Gentoo, Arch and hopefully Debian) emerging: https://github.com/copperhead/linux-hardened/wiki

This all is confusing and I was wondering, could you join forces with these guys?

Hi Anton,

I think you are confusing KSPP (kernel self protection project) with copperheadOS.

The former is a multi distro effort to improve kernel security, and I had been underway for some time, even before grsecurity closed down the patches.

The latter uses the kernel in the github link you provided, and it doesn't target x86 for example, so would be useless for most personal computers.

Pedro, it is very confusing indeed. So I have download both patches and look through the code. It's simply unreasonable to compare both projects. I do not understand why gentoo hardened team made a redirect to the link. No more questions, thanks!
