Re: Unix jumpbox \ console

[Leif Ericksen <leife () dls net>]

JUMP BOX;  AKA HOP BOX.

How secure do you want it to be?

1) Require (Open)SSH into the box and to the servers that you are going 
to go to from this box.  This box has 2 nics.
        1 Private network (to the desk top for instance)
        2  to the open network (the servers that you do not want direct
            access to. (they may have 2 nics 1 to the internet 1 to the
             hop box)

2) If you can afford SecureID or other one time password system require 
that as well.
3) Shut off ALL services but the 'essential' on the hop box.
4) DO NOT HAVE SUPER SENSITIVE DATA that is TOP SECRET Material that 
would be found SIPERNET or other networks of a classified nature. 
Attached directly in this manner unless you really know what you are 
doing.  With this question I can tell that you are trying to dig for 
information so more research might be required.

Have Fun Enjoy, and do not be afraid to ask more questions.
