Locking Down Linux GRUB (Legacy)

To lock down Linux GRUB, complete the following steps:

<br>

  1. Download the attachment lock-grub.sh.
  2. Make it executable: chmod +x lock-grub.sh
  3. Execute the script with your desired password: sudo ./lock-grub.sh admin256

<br>

This puts a password entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst as an md5 hash. If you want to change it after running this script, replace the hash with one created with grub-md5-crypt.
