#### Disables and blacklists kernel modules
#### Blacklist and disable kernel modules
Certain kernel modules are disabled and blacklisted by default to reduce attack
surface via the `/etc/modprobe.d/30_security-misc.conf` configuration file.
Certain kernel modules are blacklisted and disabled by default to reduce attack
surface via both the `/etc/modprobe.d/30_security-misc_blacklist.conf` and
`/etc/modprobe.d/30_security-misc_disable.conf` configuration files respectively.
- Deactivates Netfilter's connection tracking helper - this module increases
kernel attack surface by enabling superfluous functionality such as IRC
