This article describes the tricks, tools, and techniques hackers use to gain unauthorized access to Solaris™ Operating Environment (Solaris OE) systems. Ironically, it’s often the most basic methods that hackers use to successfully gain access to your systems.
For this article, we use the default configuration of a Solaris OE system to evaluate which vulnerabilities are most attractive to an intruder. Using easily obtainable freeware security tools, we demonstrate the techniques hackers employ to attack systems.

All of the attacks described in this article have preventive solutions available; however, every day, hackers compromise systems using these attacks. Being aware of how these attacks are performed, you can raise awareness within your organization for the importance of building and maintaining secure systems. Many organizations make the mistake of addressing security only during installation, then never revisit it. Maintaining security is an ongoing process, and it is something that must be reviewed and revisited periodically.
