A profile with most (vanilla) hardening options enabled by default,

This includes a hardened kernel, and limiting the system information
|
|
available to processes through the <filename>/sys</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/proc</filename> filesystems. It also disables the User Namespaces
|
|
feature of the kernel, which stops Nix from being able to build anything
|
|
(this particular setting can be overriden via
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-security.allowUserNamespaces"/>). See the
