Hi,
My boss asked me to harden a CentOS box by removing "hacker" tools, such as nmap, tcpdump, nc (netcat), telnet, etc.
I would like to know which list of packages would you remove from a base install. I would appreciate if someone could point me to a "standard" way of doing this. I know there are procedures for hardening a machine (I remember reading about Bastille Linux) but I don't know how effective they are and if they include the removal of such tools in their procedures.
Any advice would be very appreciated!
Thanks, Filipe
