Vulnerability discussion

If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis.Time stamps generated by the operating system include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in UTC, a modern continuation of GMT, or local time with an offset from UTC.

Check content

Verify the "Timezone" field is configured by entering the following command: cli% showdate Node Date 0 2016-05-18 23:46:29 UTC (Etc/UTC) 1 2016-05-18 23:46:37 UTC (Etc/UTC) If the output does not match the required time zone, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the "Timezone" field by first identifying the time zone identifier. Enter the command to list available time zone settings: cli% setdate -tzlist If UTC is to be set, then use the following command: cli% setdate -tz Etc/UTC

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
