  • This paper does not cover procedures for securing a machine that is
    already on a network. As a rule, no machine should be placed on any network
    prior to its having been secured against local and remote attack. If a
    machine has already been compromised, none of the following procedures will
    improve the system's security. In most cases, depending on the skill of the
    intruder, the machine will likely already be trojaned or backdoored. Applying
    the following security procedures on such a machine would only provide a
    false sense of security.
