Lisa is like the caring mother of the PLUG list offering great advice such as...
> Remember to limit your server SSH access points (where possible) through > ACL [iptables] by IP [check your phone settings for IP address], use > strong passwords, and deploy daemon wrappers like SSHIT or SSHUTOUT [to > protect against brute force and dictionary attacks], enable strong > logging and log servers [so the logs can't be trivially edited] and > alternately run on a unique port (not 2222 [everyone uses 2222]) if you > MUST leave SSH open to PSTN/Internet gateways. > She cares about our safety! Just like a mother will tell you, "Wear a helmet!" or "Don't climb that tree with those flimsy little branches!", Lisa gives us these awesome security tips. Thanks, Lisa! And just so I don't deviate too much from the topic, what purpose, exactly, would this serve? Does anybody have some story of how this has actually come in handy once? If so, do tell! --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
