  Description     : Blacklist unused kernel modules

 This package provides a single POSIX shell script that allows one to
 blacklist every kernel module not currently in use, by writing a
 modprobe.d file.
 It has conservative, minimal or desktop profiles.

ModuleJail does not try to fix kernel bugs, and it cannot. It does the one thing a sysadmin can do today, on any host, in seconds: shrink the attack surface so that the next disclosed bug is more likely to land on a module the host is not even loading. A typical Linux host ships with several thousand kernel modules and uses a few hundred. ModuleJail blacklists the rest.

I intend to maintain and use that package.

I would like to team-maintain it, however, I don't know which team is the best fit.
