About Project
The Practical Linux Hardening Guide provides a high-level overview of hardening GNU/Linux systems. It is not an official standard or handbook but it touches and uses industry standards.
This guide also provides you with practical step-by-step instructions for building your own hardened systems and services. One of the main goals is to create a single document covering internal and external threats.
The Practical Linux Hardening Guide use following OpenSCAP configurations:
-
U.S. Government Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) baseline inspired by CIS v2.1.1
C2S for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 v0.1.43.
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG)
The requirements are derived from the (NIST) 800-53 and related documents.
