# Blacklists bluetooth to reduce attack surface.
# Bluetooth also has a history of security vulnerabilities:
#
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#History_of_security_concerns
install bluetooth /bin/false
install btusb /bin/false

# Blacklist thunderbolt and firewire to prevent some DMA attacks.
install firewire-core /bin/false
install thunderbolt /bin/false

# Blacklist CPU MSRs as they can be abused to write to
# arbitrary memory.
install msr /bin/false

# Disables unneeded network protocols that will likely not be used as these may have unknown vulnerabilties.
#
# Credit to Tails (https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/blacklist_modules/) for some of these.
#
# > Debian ships a long list of modules for wide support of devices, filesystems, protocols. Some of these modules have a pretty bad security track record, and some of those are simply not used by most of our users.
#
# > Other distributions like Ubuntu[1] and Fedora[2] already ship a blacklist for various network protocols which aren't much in use by users and have a poor security track record.
