Checklist Summary:
This document provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure configuration posture for CentOS Linux 8 systems running on x86_64 platforms. The guidance within broadly assumes that operations are being performed as the root user, and executed under the default bash version for the applicable distribution. Operations performed using sudo instead of the root user, or executed under another shell, may produce unexpected results, or fail to make the intended changes to the system. Non-root users may not be able to access certain areas of the system, especially after remediation has been performed. It is advisable to verify root users path integrity and the integrity of any programs being run prior to execution of commands and scripts included in this benchmark. This will be the final release of the CentOS Linux 8 CIS Benchmark. CentOS has transitioned to CentOS Stream development platform and will no longer be covered by a CIS Benchmark.
