From the provided knowledge base, the hardening items explicitly covered are:
- Enable the firewall: Control Panel > Security > Firewall > tick Enable firewall > Apply. The default firewall profile will be applied. [7]
- Enable Auto Block: Control Panel > Security > Protection > Auto Block > tick Enable auto block. Set Login attempts and Within (minutes), optionally Enable block expiration with Unblock after (days), then Apply. [2][12][13][15]
- Enable Account Protection: Control Panel > Security > Account > Account Protection > tick Enable Account Protection. Set Login attempts and Within (minutes), and for Untrusted clients set Cancel account protection (minutes later). [12][13][15]
- DoS protection is mentioned as one of the three DSM protection mechanisms, but the provided fragments do not include the setup steps. [12][13][15]
- The fragments also mention Security Advisor as a built-in scan tool, but not as part of a full checklist. [7]
What the knowledge base does not provide here:
- No steps for disabling the default admin account.
- No complete end-to-end hardening checklist beyond the items above.
- No DoS protection configuration steps.
If you want, I can turn the covered items into a short practical checklist using only these documented steps.
