Absolutely, egress filtering is a great way to harden a system. It's like putting a bouncer at the exit to keep the bad guys out.

Applying egress filtering, on the other hand, that's a common hardening practice. It helps control what traffic can leave the system.

Yeah, that one's definitely a red herring. Hardening is about strengthening security, not locking everyone out!

Disabling all user accounts? That seems a bit extreme, doesn't it? I don't think that would be considered a proper hardening technique.

This is a tricky question! Hardening a system can involve a lot of different techniques, and it's important to understand which ones are actually considered 'hardening' methods.
