Is SELinux enforcing better than permissive?

Permissive – The system acts as if SELinux is enforcing the loaded security policy, including labeling objects and emitting access denial entries in the logs, but it does not actually deny any operations. While not recommended for production systems, permissive mode can be helpful for SELinux policy development.

How do I bypass SELinux?

Solution

1. Open the /proc/filesystems file, search for the string “selinuxfs”, if the string exists, SELinux is running on this device.
2. If SELinux is running, open the /proc/mounts file, read the line that contains “selinuxfs”.
3. Find a file named “enforce” in the SELinux directory, overwrite this file with a single “0”.
