Configuring Grsecurity Is Easier – New Autoconfig

My previous guide on configuring Grsecurity isn’t too difficult to follow, but if messing with those settings is more than you want to do, there’s an autoconfig option.

Open your configuration with make menuconfigand then traverse via:

Security options –>

Grsecurity –>

Configuration Method

Set configuration method to automatic.

You can state whether you need to run it in a VM, whether it’s for a server or desktop, whether you prioritize performance over security, and your special groups. And you can ‘tweak’ it from there, with the Customize Configuration option.

It takes seconds to configure the kernel with Grsecurity.
