In plain words
Lockdown.sh is a shell script designed to secure freshly installed Linux systems. It automates the process of applying security hardening measures to new Linux installations. The tool is intended for system administrators and Linux users who want to quickly implement security best practices without manual configuration. It streamlines what would otherwise be a time-consuming setup process for baseline system security.

The pattern of downloading and executing installation scripts without verifying them has bothered me for a while. I started messing around with a way to verify the checksum of scripts before I execute them. I've found it a really useful tool for installing things like Rust or Deno. It's written entirely as a shell script, and it's easy to read and understand what's happening. I hope it may be useful to someone else!
