Debian, by default, encourages the use of online install during its first operating system installation. This opens an opportunity to for intruder to attack the operating system while it is not ready. Since we want to harden Debian security, we must not allow such opportunity to happen. This section guides you on how to install Debian operating system offline.

Offline Install
Offline Install
When installing Debian operating system, one must disable the network connection and opt for offline install. To facilitate packaging, you can:
- build you own installer ISO image using Simple-CDD.
- Setup APT proxy server and have the installing target to use that proxy server instead of Internet.
That's all for installing Debian operating system offline for hardening Debian.
