Checklist Summary:

This document provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure configuration posture for Rocky Linux 9 systems running on x86_64 platforms. This document was tested against Rocky Linux 9.1 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. The default prompt for the root user is #, and as such all sample commands will have # as an additional indication that it is to be executed as root.
