JASS

Un-installing JASS

 

Most of us are already aware of the purpose of JASS and its usage. However, just brief it up;

 

The Solaris Security Toolkit, formerly known as the JumpStart Architecture and Security Scripts (JASS) toolkit, provides a simplified, automated, flexible and extensible mechanism to secure and audit the Solaris OS based on proven security best practices and practical customer site experience gathered over many years.

 

SST or JASS is a collection of scripts and files and some code to distribute the secure changes throughout the system, with each script developed to execute a single task.

Every file in the system changed by the SST will be backed up before the change is done. For example you will find a file named vfstab.JASS.20080416161812 in /etc.

 

However, effects of the hardening can also be undone to fall back on the previous configuration using the commands listed below. Backed up files as above will help in this.

 

# cd /opt/SUNWjass/Drivers

# ./jass-execute –u

 

Executing these commands will ask the previous version that you wish to fall back to. Also, any manual files changes that have been done in the hardened system would be prompted for either overwrite or saving the changes during the fallback.
