A curated awesome-list of security hardening guides, best practices, checklists, benchmarks, and tools covering Linux, Windows, macOS, network devices, containers, and cloud. It is a reference resource rather than software, actively maintained with community contributions.

Use cases

• find security hardening guides for ubuntu servers
• harden windows machines with best practices
• get cis benchmark resources for linux
• harden docker and kubernetes deployments
• find tools to audit ssh and tls configuration
• learn how to secure web servers like apache and nginx

When to choose

• you need a starting point for hardening operating systems, servers, or cloud infrastructure
• you want curated links to benchmarks, checklists, and audit tools
• you are a blue-team or sysadmin looking for best-practice references

When to avoid

• you need an executable tool rather than a list of links
• you need vendor-specific step-by-step hardening automation out of the box
• you need general security topics beyond hardening, like pentesting or malware analysis
