The Practical Linux Hardening Guide

Purpose / CSI Use Case

Step-by-step Linux production hardening and compliance reference using OpenSCAP and standards such as CIS, STIG, and NIST for server baselines, audits, and remediation planning.

Source Notes

Verified public GitHub repository trimstray/the-practical-linux-hardening-guide, default branch master, not archived. Strong fit for CSI Linux server-hardening SOPs and security-assessment work. Use as a practical reference alongside vendor guidance and CSI-ESF; validate commands and control mappings against the exact distro/version before production enforcement. Key evaluation areas: OpenSCAP workflow, CIS/STIG/NIST mappings, SSH/authentication, filesystem and mount options, kernel/sysctl controls, logging/auditing, service minimization, permissions, patching and repeatable compliance checks.
