Kernel
A kernel is the heart of almost every operating system. It is always loaded in memory at any time and deals with the hardware to provide an interface for the software. It also manages peripherals, memory, interrupts, and processes. Examples of widely used kernels include Windows NT and Linux.

The core idea behind kernel hardening is this: we will never be able to get all of the security bugs out of our code, especially when we're dealing with a large and fast-moving program like the kernel. Beyond that, even when we fix security bugs, those fixes don't get out to the affected users; think of all the Android devices with no security.
