Must have security settings/apps

[Pirate]

I'm on a Debian vps.
I need to secure my server, fast as possible.

Any good/must have things to improve my security?

I'm a newbie.


Yes i know, first, i need a firewall , but which one? I can't configure iptables.

(I know there's a security tuts forum in this board too, but i just need the most important security things.)

I will give thanks forever, just pls somebody write something. )

Secure ssh by changing the port, or installing fail2ban (sudo apt-get install fail2ban)

I have already changed the port.

Now i go and check fail2ban. Thx.

What other services/servers run on the debian box?

 

[Pirate]

Just 2 websites. I don't want to use other things, just websites.

you should hire someone to do this for you.
Seeing that you're not proficient in it, it's easier to screw things up.

 

[Pirate]

That's too easy... That's a hard work but i must learn a lot of things, if i want to run big websites correctly and securelly in the future.

I forgotten to say, but i have a control panel, called ispcp. That installed and configured a lot of things.
My previous server manager using it, that's why i installed it on my vps.

Hello,

You can follow my step by step guide on Linux servers and its security. It will give you some kind of protection to your server. Sadly, it's much more than most of companies out there would do. Everyone can prech about security nowadays but I can assure you, they will stop then they get rooted and rm'd. It happens daily.

If you need any help please send me a PM. However, if you don't know anything about Linux servers and don't want to learn you can always hire someone(make sure he knows what he's doing) to take care of it for you.

If you are looking to hire someone I would recommend Krun!x.
He does what he says he is going to do and if there are any problems he will fix them right away.
