-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 By kernel hardeners, I presume you mean special kernel patches that help add extra security. Usually they help prevent certain exploits such as buffer overflows, or restricting what can be created in certain directories, and some even prevent root from doing certain things, thus minimizing the amount of damage that can be done if a machine is compromised.
