Sysctl.conf for Security and Performance
The /etc/sysctl.conf file is a configuration file that is used to modify kernel parameters in the Linux operating system. See SSLHOW for an explanation.
The sysctl.conf file can be configured to protect your Linux system against attack. LinOxide's page, How to Use /etc/sysctl.conf for Linux Kernel Security Hardening, is a useful reference.
Another site, rtCamp, shows several tweaks than can be made to the config file to enhance performance and security.
