        AppArmor is great but it isn’t nearly as powerful as SELinux. Way more user friendly though.

          It can be but it takes a lot more effort.

          SELinux: high bar to entry but extremely power right away

          Apparmor: lower bar to entry but much harder to get advanced functionality and control

            Yea, but there are also some things AppArmor just can’t do. Although in my experience most aren’t as big of a deal. Things like saying “only processes of this type can bind to port X” for example and much more fine grained control of file or directory actions. Does AppArmor provide kernel module controls?

            They both have really bad documentation though :(
