VXE software defends UNIX servers against network intruders and hackers.
VXE, or Virtual eXecuting Environment, is an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). It is designed to provide comprehensive protection to UNIX servers by safeguarding them and all subsystems from potential intruders and network attacks. With VXE, there is no need to reconfigure the existing system, and users can protect the software systems in place without any hassle.
VXE has various uses, such as providing daemon protection, allowing user access to the command line (shell, telnet) with restrictions, and hosting user CGI, among others. By using VXE, resources available to programs provided by a user can be limited, providing a convenient way to have user-uploaded CGI scripts. The software restricts users' access to specific files and tools, and these access limitations cannot be bypassed.
One notable feature of VXE is that its source code is available under the GPL license. Additionally, the latest release of VXE includes new functionalities, such as the use of vsnprintf instead of vsprintf in print.c, fixing common.vxf for two strings syscalls, printing arguments of system calls that caused LISP errors in logs, and using PERL instead of LISP and TclX in the web-based VXED development system.
In summary, VXE provides an efficient, effective solution to the critical security challenges faced by UNIX servers. With its robust security measures and user-friendly features, it is a reliable option for anyone looking for easy-to-use software that guarantees the safety of their UNIX servers.
