### Official Guides
### Other Guides
There are many official guides provided by industry leaders and the distributions themselves. It is not practical, and sometimes against copyright, to include everything from those guides. I advise you to also check those guides.
There are many guides provided by experts, industry leaders, and the distributions themselves. It is not practical, and sometimes against copyright, to include everything from those guides.
- For distribution specific hardening/security guides, check your distributions documentation.
- The [Center for Internet Security (CIS)](https://www.cisecurity.org/) provides [benchmarks](https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks/) that are exhaustive, industry trusted, step-by-step instructions for securing many flavors of Linux. Check their [About Us](https://www.cisecurity.org/about-us/) for details. I personally go through their guides first and then finish it off with what I have in this guide.
