grsecurity is a set of patches for the Linux kernel with an emphasis on enhancing security. It allows the system administrator to, among other things, define a least privilege policy for the system, in which every process and user have only the lowest privileges needed to function.

This book is intended as a comprehensive up-to-date user guide about setting up and administrating a grsecurity-enabled system.
