SECURITY and CRYPTO in the RULE project

GPG

obviously, at least for digital signatures. The install (or maybe the first login is better?) should key generation, and these should be immediately available from the mutt mail client: it shoud be programmed to sign (not encrypt) all outgoing email by default.

Shjould some explanation should be added about the opportunity of not signing digitally when sending messages to mailing lists?

Check legal issues about this!!

AIDE

GPL alternative to Tripwire:

FIREWALLING: iptables/xinetd

configured to work for the most likely SOHO situation in countries not blessed yet by ADSL and cable: Internet on ppp0, maybe local trusted LAN on eth0.

User can surf, chat, ftp, email... but NOBODY can enter the box from ppp0, all traffic on eth0 OK

IMPORTANT: is there any firewall building tool working with iptables, and in console mode? One that doesn't force you to have QT, GTK and some other truckload of stuff on disk?
