Security by default, in software, means that the default configuration settings are the most secure settings possible, which are not necessarily the most user friendly settings. In many cases, security and user friendliness is waged based on both risk analysis and usability tests. This leads to the discussion what the most secure settings actually are. As a result, the precise meaning of secure by default remains undefined.In a network operating system, this typically means first and foremost that there are no listening INET(6) domain sockets after installation. That is, no open network ports. This can be checked on the local machine with a tool such as netstat, and remotely with a port scanner such as nmap. As a general rule, a secure network, is only as secure as the least secure node in the entire network.
