Hardened Kernel Community Project

Note: early stub content moved from the Gentoo wiki, and does not yet reflect the project's goals or consensus. It's just brainstorming and isn't official documentation yet. Even the first sentence below is from before multiple people were involved and a repository existed. The code already contradicts it since it isn't just PaX / grsecurity features and will be doing a lot more of that. The default branch and tags are distinct from any upstreaming effort. That will be in topic branches, like the current fortify branch and the dozen tiny things that landed in upstream trees already. See https://github.com/thestinger/linux-hardened for something official, not this yet.

Project Goals

Our goals are:

  • Encourage and facilitate open source development of security features for the Linux kernel.
  • Track progress of development work.
  • Maintain a set of patches for security features that have not yet been merged into mainline.
  • Remain distribution agnostic. We want to focus on patches that affect Linux directly.
  • Work with the KSPP.

Philosophy

All are welcome!

  • We need all the help we can get. Think you're lacking the skills? Feel like there's nothing you could do with your current skillset? Let us prove you wrong!
