From published guidance to evidenced configuration.
Security hardening guidance is everywhere: benchmarks, baselines, vendor documents, and standards. The hard part has never been finding it. The hard part is turning hundreds of pages of guidance into work that gets reviewed, prioritised, implemented, and evidenced. Opnbyte exists to close that gap.
What You Will Find Here
Articles and Guides
Practical writing on security hardening: how-to guides, walkthroughs, and notes on operating systems, benchmarks, and the tooling around them. Updated as the guidance changes.
Reference and Explainers
What the benchmarks, baselines and frameworks actually are: who publishes them, how CIS, DISA STIG, ASD Essential Eight and the rest differ, and which one answers the question in front of you.
Projects and Tooling
Open tooling for hardening work. SHGIR is the first project: it turns published guides into structured workbooks, and the library holds more than 600 of them. Further projects will follow.
How the Work Goes
Start with the guidance that applies to you.
The library is free. Browse it, or read the articles for how the work is done in practice.
