In this video, we teach the system administrators how to protect important files within their linux server. This strategy is VERY useful in case a hacker breaks into your server or network. DISCLAIMER: ALTHOUGH THIS IS GOOD PRACTICE FOR ADMINISTRATORS, ITS NOT TO BE USED WITHIN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME! FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!

  • This really does nothing

    Sorry dude. This is really lame and it doesn't work.

    Behold the power of 'ls'.

    $ ls -F -b
    dies10w/
    dies10w /
    $ cd dies10w /
    $ ls -l
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 2007-07-26 09:04 secret

    Notice how the "secret" file is world readable. Not too secret.

    if you want to hide stuff use pgp.

    • in addition metacafe doesn't work

      metacafe stripped several /s from my comment. Whatever. ls -F -b is the way to go.
