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 ...

semodule_expand

SEMODULE_EXPAND(8)							NSA							SEMODULE_EXPAND(8)

NAME

       semodule_expand - Expand a SELinux policy module package.

SYNOPSIS

       semodule_expand [-V ] [ -a ] [ -c [version]] basemodpkg outputfile

DESCRIPTION

       semodule_expand is a developer tool for manually expanding a base policy module package into a kernel binary policy file.  This tool is not
       necessary for normal operation of SELinux.  In normal operation, such expanding is performed  internally  by  libsemanage  in  response	to
       semodule  commands.   Base  policy module packages can be created directly by semodule_package or by semodule_link (when linking together a
       set of packages into a single package).

OPTIONS

       -V     show version

       -c [version]
	      policy version to create

       -a     Do not check assertions.	This will cause the policy to not check any neverallow rules.
