How To Secure A Linux Server
This project is a Linux server security guide and system administration manual designed to harden the operating system and kernel. It functions as an OS hardening checklist and a collection of instructions for reducing the server attack surface to protect against intruders.
The guide covers the establishment of a server security baseline and the reduction of the network attack surface. It provides practical guidance for managing system permissions and network configurations to maintain a secure environment.
The content is organized as a series of step-by-step procedural layouts and topic-categorized instructions. It includes configuration snippets and shell commands to facilitate the application of security settings.
