I am currently using 2 Linode 512 MB servers for a simple free application.
One of my Linode got hacked recently.
But for another paid app I am exploring other options like PEER1 for managed Security such as IDS and Managed Firewall / Load balancer.
It would cost significantly more than ($600 - $1200)
Still not sure whether I should be managing my own security using tools such as OSSEC/Snort or outsource it.
What are the solutions everybody is using for Load Balancing and Security.
- wizard_2 16y agoDo you mind sharing about how you got hacked?
- visava 16y agoLinode guys contacted me that my server was being used to carry out ssh brute force attacks. I saw that somebody had created a user named test on my Linode. I think it might be related to postfix or dovecot. After I stopped those services so far there have been no problems. The other services I have running are Apache, Tomcat and ssh.
