Lab Notes

Paul Day has a great paper describing a number of techniques for securing your Mac OS X installation. I prefer his approach to security to that described in the NSA's Mac OS X security guide. More of a "turn off everything you don't need and securely configure what you do need" approach versus "turn everything off, because if your computer is a lead weight then no one can hack it" approach. It's all part of the compromise between usability and security.
