I have taken a couple of hours this weekend to secure my server a bit more, this entailed installing Firehol and fail2ban, this combination of goodies gives me server nice layer of protection to sit behind. A very secure firewall, which should protect against DoS attacks and other nasties, and only allow certain connections to make a connection to my server (http, https, ssh, ftp, smtp.) fail2ban is the dead cool bit start trying to guess my ssh password, or guess the phpMyAdmin password you get your ass firewalled off my server :). Ohh and I get an e-mail telling me ;).
When I have a little more time I need to configure the firewall to only allow certain outgoing connections to for added security.
Thanks to Martin for a little inspiration, encouragement, and documentation!
Of course It’s not technology coursework, the deadline for that was weeks ago, and there are ‘no extensions in technology’
eheheh.
