Hello Everyone! If anybody here has ever worked with Linux servers, knows that when a server is hacked and an intruder was able to gain "root" access. It is a horrible and time consuming mess to deal with, usually resulting in the rebuild of that server... So I'm here to provide some useful tip to any Linux admins here who may wish to discuss my own personal methods at securing a Linux server for public use on the Internet.
My blog article here: http://www.debiandiary.com/blog/Jan.29,2014/securing-your-internet-server-101.html To some vets out there who have been around the block a couple times, then more, you might think some of this is to the extreme and only for the very paranoid admin. However, being a paranoid Linux admin has gotten me a good track record of never having to deal with a cyberthug on my own servers I install and manage. The very last section is only for the extremist, however I do predict that in the near future all servers will run like that only due to the increase of cybercrime. However the last section won't play very well with those cloud VPS type hosting, as it limits customizablity of the server almost entirely! This is why also tend to frown at cloud services, as they can be some of the most exploitable services known. -- Kevin <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/
