A curated checklist for hardening GNU/Linux production systems, covering partitioning, bootloader, kernel, logging, users, filesystem, SELinux, and network security. It is a documentation-style reference with prioritized recommendations and summary checklists.

Use cases

  • harden a linux production server
  • linux server security checklist
  • secure bootloader and kernel settings
  • configure selinux and auditd
  • reduce attack surface of a linux system
  • prepare a server for security audit

When to choose

  • you need a structured, prioritized reference for securing GNU/Linux systems
  • you want a quick pre-deployment security review checklist
  • you are a sysadmin learning hardening best practices

When to avoid

  • you need automated scanning or enforcement rather than a manual checklist
  • you need hardening guidance for non-Linux platforms
  • you need a tool that applies changes automatically
