you should work from the assumption that ALL network traffic is malicious.
- imwillofficial 4y agoThis is absurd. If all network traffic is malicious, just unplug your device. Boom, more secure. At least some traffic is expected to be valid, but the majority will not if internet facing. Google “Linux hardening for beginners hacker news” there are articles with easy steps and thoughtful comments from time to time.
- kova12 4y agoOK, then work from the assumption that all network traffic is suspect.
- imwillofficial 4y agoThere ya go
- evan_ 4y ago> If all network traffic is malicious, just unplug your device. Boom, more secure. I'm not sure why you're saying that like it's ridiculous, it's just plainly true.
- imwillofficial 4y agoObviously it’s not true. Or you’d have no legit traffic
- Agamus 4y agoThis is spot-on, especially given the topic of hosting and protecting a server. If you assume that it is all malicious, (and much/most of it is), you stand a better chance of fending an attack.
