I would recommend also securing /tmp (and /var/tmp). Mounting it noexec
and nosuid is a good step to take. As well, I modified my local wget and
curl programs to *not* download to /tmp or /var/tmp, as no legitimate
use for the program (on my servers) will be downloading files to these
locations. As well, these two programs are commonly used in web script
attacks to retrieve a remote file and execute it.

How did u modify your wget or curl for not to download to /tmp and /var/tmp?
