Comparing Linux Security Applications Introduction The pervasive adoption of the Linux operating system has led to a proliferation of new security tools and applications for ensuring the security of systems and applications. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate chroot jail‚ iptables and SELinux. These three security technologies are evaluated from the standpoint of which organizations were behind their development‚ in addition to an explanation of how each technology changes the Linux operating
