HardenedBSD
HardenedBSD is a security-enhanced fork of FreeBSD. The HardenedBSD Project implements many exploit mitigation and security technologies on top of FreeBSD. The project started in early 2014, with the first official release in 2015. HardenedBSD aims to provide a more secure operating system by incorporating advanced security features and hardening techniques.
