You should follow security best practices when installing new systems and also when subsequently applying operating system security procedures. These types of installations often install needless software, and leave many security vulnerabilities wide open. We accepted the default installation parameters for each of the operating systems (OSs). Lastly, we have included several installation options for Mac OS X.įor this chapter, we started with fresh installations of Fedora Core 6, Windows XP, and Mac OS X. For the Windows side, we will be focusing on Windows XP, due to its common use. If the instructions do vary, however, the difference should be minimal. Most of what we cover here should apply to most other popular distributions without a large amount of modification. We have chosen Fedora Core because it is the most commonly used Linux distribution in the world, and serves as a good starting point on which to base further installations. For this reason, we will be focusing on information specific to installation on the Fedora Core 6 platform.
Due to the overwhelming amount of Unix-based distributions available today, installation instructions can vary from distribution to distribution, and are beyond the scope of this chapter. In this chapter, we will cover all of the steps necessary to complete a functioning installation of the Wireshark network analyzer.
