Category — Server Hardening

The server configuration I ordered did not come with the extra firewall godaddy offers (for extra money!), so I figured it would be pretty wise to do some server hardening as soon as possible.

For obvious reasons, I cant go into details of all the things I have done, but I will be posting some things that I have implemented to try to keep the bad guys and gals out..

Im still learning myself, so its possible some of you out there may know better ways, please feel free to comment if you do!

Unfortunately I didnt start this blog when I first started hardening the server, so I will have to spend some time hunting out all the things I have implemented, and posting about many of them as I find them.

Some of them were off the shelf solutions, some found on google, and some I just figured out and implemented myself. As theVPS is running Centos, hopefully the tips may come in useful to other centos users, or users with similar versions of linux.
