The goal in "hardening" a Linux box is always to try to figure out the
different ways that someone may try to inject code to execute on your
machine to grant them a) access, b) privilege, c) your data, or d) your
cycles..... Best bet for you is probably to do some google'ing or pick
up an O'Reilly book or two on Security to assess some of the more common
exploitable areas. Look for topics on "hardening Linux". That will
keep you busy for quite some time.... :-)
Amusingly, Google turned up several hits on "+linux +security", the first of
which is "Security is Microsoft's number one priority".

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
