Just How Effective is System Hardening?
SkiifGeek, pointing to our recent coverage of what the NSA went through to create SELINUX, wants to know just how effective system hardening is at preventing successful attack, and writes "When Jay Beale presented at DefCon 14, he quoted statistics (PDF link) that Bastille protected against every major threat targeting Red Hat 6, before the threats were known. With simple techniques available for the everyday user which can start them on the path towards system hardening, just how effective have you found system and network hardening to be? The NSA does have some excellent guides to help harden not only your OS but also your browser and network equipment."

Do you even lift?

That's your opinion, and yes you're entitled to it, but keep it to yourself next time, as you are off topic. I read that guide and tried its suggestions and it works quite well. I am happy I stumbled upon it.
