I have a couple of dedicated servers and I would like to protect them much as I can from hackers, DDOS, and etc... Right now all the protection I have is a Firewall "CSF" what else could I possibly do to protect my servers, I don't wanna pay monthly for such a service I would be willing to pay for the software once but not monthly payments.. I would appreciate all the tips and help. Thanks, Richard.
Hi, thanks for the reply. Can you give me a little more information on this TCP Wrappers, what is it, and what does it do?
Simply install any one of the following NetScaler NS9.3 Build DenyAll: rweb 4.0 - core manager F5: ASM 3900 Imperva: SecureSphere 8.0 Trustwave Modsecurity 2.6.2 SourceFire: SourceFire 3d Sensor 2100 -4.9.1.6 buld 150 unamed IPS Check daily log activity
security is an on-going process, it does not means once you have the security software installed it will protect you 100%. Make sure to keep your software up-to-date (Wordpress,CMS..etc) and kernel updated to the latest version, screening your log frequently for abnormal activity. Certain security software (such as CSF) can protect you up to certain level, for large scale of DDOS, it will not help and it will have to goes back to your upstream (your hosting provider)..
Just google for mod_security. If you have cPanel, you don't need install it by manually. This option/module can be enabled from easyapache interface.
