    Not quite. 300 pages to totally lock down a Cisco router regardless of its specific configuration or specification with explainations as to precisely why you want to make the changes and what might happen if you don't. There are also guides to Windows (various versions) and email security too. None for Linux yet, but I suppose that can be summarised as "Install NSA Secure Linux". ;) You can find them here, by the way - well worth a look at some point, even if you don't deal with the specific subject matter but in the same area.
