RULE BASED ANALYSIS OF COMPUTER SECURITY
R W Baldwin · DSpace@MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) · 1988
Computers are rarely as secure as they could be. Users are lax or inconsistent in the way they configure a computer's protection system, and these user mistakes often lead to serious security holes. For example, a privileged user might accidentally make his login initialization file publicly writable and that mistake could allow ordinary users to acquire super-user privileges.
