How to Configure Mandatory Access Control with SELinux Policies on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Configure Mandatory Access Control with SELinux Policies on RHEL 9

SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) enforces Mandatory Access Control (MAC) on RHEL 9, confining processes to only the resources they are explicitly permitted to access regardless of traditional Unix file permissions. While RHEL ships with comprehensive base policies, custom applications often generate AVC (Access Vector Cache) denials because their access patterns are not covered by existing policy […]

How to Harden the Linux Kernel with sysctl on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Harden the Linux Kernel with sysctl on RHEL 9

The Linux kernel exposes hundreds of tunable parameters through the sysctl interface that control network behavior, memory protection, and file system security. Many of these defaults prioritize compatibility over security. By writing a hardening configuration to /etc/sysctl.d/, you can reduce the kernel attack surface, enable mitigations against common network attacks, and enforce memory safety features […]
