## ⚙️ sysctl hardening

#### Usage:

- Clone the repository

```

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/g5ostXa/sysctl.git

```

- Copy sysctl files to `/etc/sysctl.d/`

```

$ sudo cp -r sysctl/* /etc/sysctl.d/

```

- Give root permissions to the directory and all it's content

```

$ sudo chown -R root:root /etc/sysctl.d/; sudo chown -R root:root /etc/sysctl.d/*

```

To print current permissions, type the following code in your terminal

```

$ stat -c "%a %n" /etc/sysctl.d/*

```

If needed, change permissions to "600" for everything in `/etc/sysctl.d/`

```

$ sudo chmod 600 /etc/sysctl.d/*

```

- Finally, apply kernel parameters permanently

```

$ sudo sysctl --system

```
