# File System
## Disable all file systems not needed
-To reduce the attack surface, file system data is parsed by the kernel, so any logic bugs in file system drivers can become kernel exploits.

### Disable NFS file system
-NFS FileSystems are useful during development phases, but this can be a very helpful way for an attacker to get files when you are in production mode, so we must disable them.

## Partition Mount Options
-There are several security restrictions that can be set on a filesystem when it is mounted. Some common security options include, but are not limited to:

`nodev` - Do not interpret character or block special devices on the filesystem.

-If `CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT` is set, then the kernel will mount /dev and will not apply the `nosuid`, `noexec` options. Either disable `CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT` or add a remount with `noexec` and `nosuid` options to system startup.
