How to Configure Mandatory Access Control with SELinux Policies on RHEL 8 — step-by-step RHEL 8 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Configure Mandatory Access Control with SELinux Policies on RHEL 8

SELinux Mandatory Access Control (MAC) confines processes to only the resources they legitimately need, limiting the damage an attacker can do even after exploiting a vulnerability. While RHEL 8 ships with broad pre-built policies for common services, custom applications often generate AVC (Access Vector Cache) denial messages because no policy exists for them yet. Rather […]

How to Harden the Linux Kernel with sysctl on RHEL 8 — step-by-step RHEL 8 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Harden the Linux Kernel with sysctl on RHEL 8

The Linux kernel exposes hundreds of tunable parameters through the /proc/sys virtual filesystem, and sysctl is the tool used to read and write these values persistently. Many default kernel settings prioritize compatibility and functionality over security, leaving attack surface that can be closed with targeted configuration. On RHEL 8, persistent sysctl settings are stored in […]
