This is by the author of the very helpful kernel-hardening-checker: https://github.com/a13xp0p0v/kernel-hardening-checker

An interesting tool for analyzing your personal kernel config file and pointing out areas for security improvement. It's more comprehensive than KSPP (https://kspp.github.io/) but sometimes goes a little too far, suggesting disabling kernel features you may actively use.

Definitely worth trying!

This is the way.

Close all avenues, then only open what you exactly need.

By default, Linux has way, way too much functionality, insufficient testing and proof of security correctness, and not enough security controls.
