DHS Cybersecurity help/resource

Recently there has been a bit of a debate, around the US, anyway, about whether the NSA or the DHS should have responsibility for cybersecurity.

One of the points raised is that the NSA shouldn't take on that job, since cybersecurity involves helping "ordinary" people and companies secure their own systems.  (In the modern environment, silo/bastion thinking doesn't work in security: now, that fact that I have a virus means you have a problem.)  And the NSA has proven itself singularly loath to tell anything to anyone.

DHS has, on the other hand, set up a cybersecurity resource.  Check it out.  (It'll only take a couple of seconds.)

Back?  Pretty pathetic, isn't it?  Maybe the NSA should take over.  They could hardly do worse ...

NAME
semodule_deps - show the dependencies between SELinux policy packages. SYNOPSIS
semodule_deps [-v -g -b] basemodpkg modpkg1 [modpkg2 ... ] DESCRIPTION
semodule_deps is a developer tool for showing the dependencies between policy packages. For each module it prints a list of modules that must be present for a module's requirements to be satisfied. It only deals with requirements, not optional dependencies. In order for semodule_deps to give useful information the list of packages passed in cannot have unsatisfied dependencies. In general this means that the list of modules will usually be quite long. By default options to the base module are excluded as almost every module has this dependency. The -b option will include these dependen- cies. In addition to human readable output, semodule_deps can output the dependencies in the Graphviz dot format (http://www.graphviz.org/) using the -g option. This is useful for producing a picture of the dependencies. OPTIONS
-v verbose mode -g output dependency information in Graphviz dot format -b include dependencies to the base module - by default these are excluded SEE ALSO
