You're right. Took mwpmaybe's suggestion for the time being and only will accept IPv4 from ssh for now till that's fixed.

Nothing! (Except I doubt I can manually get it all done in 5 minutes =) ) Thanks for your great article. We just ended up adapting your approach with a couple modifications (like 2FA) and extending it to be more of a primer and explain the

You still can't login to the system. Root login is disabled as well as password authentication. The root password is just in case you lose your sudo password but it doesn't provide you a way to login if you don't have your ke

Get a PW manager instead. No passwords should be stored in your head (because every one should be different) and they should be stored behind encryption -- definitely not plain text nor sticky notes. http://keepass.info/down

I mention Ansible and other tools in the article. The idea, as others have mentioned, is to teach a man to fish. You're much better off with having an automated way to perform this, but you shouldn't ever run anything automated t

Someone on /r/netsec rightly pointed out that you shouldn't ever add a user directly to sudoers anyways. You should add them to the sudo or wheel group. I've since updated the article. What I've described is a more

Great! Thanks for the answer.

Ooo. Fair point. I'll add that now and link to your comment.

So it looks like from the `passwd` man page that `-l` locks it, but doesn't actually remove it completely? I wonder if there are any disadvantages to this.

It depends on your VPS, but many give a root password by default. I do make sure later in the article that `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` does not allow root login: PermitRootLogin no But you make a good point that a simple

Thank you for the notes. I'm on the go right now so sorry for the short reply, but I agree with what you've said. This was more of a primer with some hope to quickly explain the basic steps and what they were doing to younger engi

Out of curiosity, how does it compare to fail2ban?

by codelitt 10y ago
Yes. You should still keep your eye out on patches. If a big vulnerability gets patched requiring a reboot, you'll want to attend to the upgrades yourself.

by codelitt 10y ago
Yes. We originally just put this together just as a primer for younger engineers to understand the basic steps. The guide you posted looks really good though. It looks like it covers some of the application side of things as well.

Hahaha great quote. I haven't seen this article before. It looks quite good. Thanks for posting it.

I said this in a reddit thread[1], but I really just have a philosophical aversion to this. The industry has moved forward because of open source code. If I come up with a great algorithm, it is in my best interest to share it with others,
