Abstract

One of the big advantages of using Linux is that its security tends to be so much better than that of the competing alternatives. Linux has gained its popularity as an open source operating system and has been used for workstations and servers. Due to the growth of its usage in application and production line, its vulnerabilities have increased from time to time. Exploits are written based on these vulnerabilities that enable systems to be controlled over or simply knock out of its purpose. Linux might be impervious to viruses and worms written for Windows, but that's just a small subset of the larger issue. We are not sure about security. With the limitations of above there is a need of a analysing different methods to secure Linux. Here we perform analysis on some tool that are Explore 2fs, DiskInternal Linux Reader, Ext2fsd to access Linux partition and security of Linux define based on efficiency of that tools.
