SkiifGeek writes "Recent Coverage of what the NSA went through to create SELINUX raises an interesting question as to just how effective system hardening is at preventing successful attack?
When Jay Beale presented at DefCon 14, he quoted statistics that Bastille protected against every major threat targeting Red Hat 6, before the threats were known. With simple techniques for the every day 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."
