    I recently submitted a Bugzilla PR for the FreeBSD Handbook's Security chapter, noting that it does not contain the phrase "hardening" or cover the how to perform the kind of hardening measures that I've seen documented in other OSes, or mandated by workplace policies. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294167 This is far from my area of expertise so any additional comments there on what the Handbook should include would be welcome. Obviously there will be some hardening requirements for personal laptops that are different to hardening for servers and vice versa, which makes structuring the chapter a bit tricky. In fact one of my complaints in the PR is that advice which should be drilled into all users, like taking note of FreeBSD Security Advisories, is at the very bottom of a long page - anybody who reads that far will have to get past a lot of material only relevant for more specialist use cases. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/security/
