GSEC › Linux Security and Hardening
This domain covers hardening Linux hosts on the GSEC exam: controlling physical and boot access, configuring auditd file watches, writing nftables rules that default-deny, and enforcing password quality with PAM. Questions are scenario-based, asking you to pick the correct commands, config files, or control combinations rather than recall definitions.
