Efficiency Network Security Analysis for Data Mining
I see this all the time, and so I'm used to it; but sometimes it is fun to post it anyway, since this is dated just a week ago, and today flew into my inbox;
I'm auditing UID consistency across our hosts, and have created the following datafile, consisting of four fields. I would like to get a count of the combination of the last two fields. ie: I would like to find out how many instances there are of "root 0" and how many of "uucp 5", for every line... (3 Replies)

MAC_IFOFF(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MAC_IFOFF(4)NAME
mac_ifoff -- interface silencing policy
SYNOPSIS
To compile the interface silencing policy into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
options MAC
options MAC_IFOFF
Alternately, to load the interface silencing policy module at boot time, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
options MAC
and in loader.conf(5):
mac_ifoff_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The mac_ifoff interface silencing module allows administrators to enable and disable incoming and outgoing data flow on system network inter-
faces via the sysctl(8) interface.
To disable network traffic over the loopback (lo(4)) interface, set the sysctl(8) OID security.mac.ifoff.lo_enabled to 0 (default 1).
To enable network traffic over other interfaces, set the sysctl(8) OID security.mac.ifoff.other_enabled to 1 (default 0).
To allow BPF traffic to be received, even while other traffic is disabled, set the sysctl(8) OID security.mac.ifoff.bpfrecv_enabled to 1
(default 0).

The mac_ifoff policy module first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0 and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.
AUTHORS
This software was contributed to the FreeBSD Project by Network Associates Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates Inc.
under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (``CBOSS''), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
BUGS
See mac(9) concerning appropriateness for production use. The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in FreeBSD.
While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by
entry point checks. As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged user.
