More on IT Security
So anyway, after my last posting, which was about a (thankfully very minor and not entirely successful) hacking attempt, I’ve been getting back into security. Have let it slip too much lately. When I set the server up, security was everything and I made it strong and solid. The problem is, time moved on and I didn’t. I got lax because things were going well. I had my ‘2003 secure’ server and let’s be honest here, I just forgot about it all. Life moved on.
Well… It’s wake up time.
For those of you involved in the world of sticking stuff on the web (let’s call it hosting), you are probably familiar with the nightmare that is your weblogs. If you’re not one of those people let me fill you in. Someone (or something, a bot usually) tries to ‘hack’ you about 100 times a minute. It’s just non-stop, full on, all day everyday. The more stuff you host, the worse it is.
So anyway, with that in mind, I decided to set out on securing something better than it is now, at least once a week. While I do this, I’m going to record how and store it on this Blog, in the hope that at least one other person gets some benefit from it because I have had so much help from others, I really need to offer some back.
I won’t go into any more detail in this BLOG, it’ll just be an announcement. Then I’ll keep each bit of info seperate, so people don’t need to read this crap
