If you are a part of the US DoD you may remember my earlier blog entry (July 2007) in which I posted customizations to the Solaris Security Toolkit designed to help secure a computer in compliance with DISA Security Guidelines. Although I haven't done any additional work since that time, Aaron Lippold of DISA took my work and extended it to increase compliance and updated it to more recent versions of DISA STIGs.
Aaron recently notified me that his modifications have now been posted on Forge.mil.
Forge.mil is a family of services provided to support the DoD's technology development community. The system currently enables the collaborative development and use of open source and DoD community source software. These initial software development capabilities are growing to support the full system life-cycle and enable continuous collaboration among all stakeholders including developers, testers, certifiers, operators, and users.
This is great news because it provides a way for the DoD community to collaborate together to make the tool better for everyone. If you are a DoD employee or contractor with a Common Access Card (CAC) you can access this project at https://software.forge.mil/sf/projects/dodsst/.
Join the community, download the tools, contribute changes and make your life generally better by using the Toolkit and DoDSST project to secure your Solaris 10 environment quicker, in an automated and more reproducible fashion.
I'd like to thank Aaron for the hard work he has done and for his iniative in creating this project for the good of the US Government.
Thanks much Jim for this. It is another positive step for the community.
By the way, although I drop in on your blog from time to time, the way I learned about this entry was via the SunBlogs Twitter feed. It would be good to get more of my friends at Sun Fed up on Twitter, maybe with an @SunFed Twitter account.

Bob,
Thanks for your comment. I've haven't taken the dive into Twitter yet (or Facebook, LinkedIn, SecondLife). Haven't quite figured out the value yet.

What!!! Not figured out the value? You get to keep up with your friends, fans, AND pesterers. What could be better than that? :-)

Hi,
You can also access https://www.forge.mil via an ECA certificate - http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/index.html - if you don't have a PKI CAC certificate.
Looking forward to new collaborators on the DoDSST Project.
-Aaron

As a person who is 100% microsoft free at home and work, I'm not the best resource to help you with this problem. The forums or email lists at the Virtual Box community site, however should be able to help you.
