I'm also running RH7.2, Open SSH, and Apache 1.3, so I'm interested in hearing what you find out. My old RH6.x box got hacked some time back, and ftp was at fault. Needless to say, I don't run telnet or ftp anymore, and keep my LinkSys router/firewall pretty tight.
Be sure you use up2date, also - it's a godsend and will utterly simplify package and security updates. But like the guys here said, don't always trust RH's default settings... and make backups. Off topic, is it worth upgrading to Apache 2.0 from 1.3? Is there much hassle involved? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lorin Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 5:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [bits] hacked > if anyone is interested, i can come up with a checklist of things to do to > secure your box. some of it is a little extreme, so you need to decide > what your risk tolerance is and then follow accordingly. > hell yes, write it on up, then lets get everyone else on the list to comment on it.
