System hardening is the process of securing a system by reducing its surface of vulnerability, which is larger when a system performs more functions; in principle, a single-function system is more secure than a multipurpose one. Reducing available ways of attack typically includes changing default passwords, the removal of unnecessary software, unnecessary usernames or logins, and the disabling or removal of unnecessary services1

The MIME type that should be followed is indicated by the x-content-type-options header in HTTP responses. This header is used to instruct the browser not to attempt MIME type sniffing, but to stick with the MIME type declared by the server. This can help prevent security risks associated with incorrect MIME type interpretation, such as executing non-executable MIME types as if they were scripts12.
