I'm planning to switch for ever to linux - archlinux:



I implemented nft firewall to block all input comming to the box, no port expose, no daemon listening on a port.



further I'm considering to use linux-harden kernel instead of linux one, but really don't like this idea because I want to know what patches need to apply for my system, this also bad idea because it can burden my daily use and reduce productivity.



I'm thinking about something that check integrity of the box in real time - like antivirus on windows but don't know what to use here? Do you have suggestions?



I also need something to regularly scan and check vulnerabilities on the box so I can close it asap.



Is there any that you can suggest to harden my further box?



Thanks in advanced. Hope this is in the right forum.
