So I’ve started hardening my defenses. Stay tuned as I will be documenting what I do and what I learn. Today I’ve been experimenting with iptables and the settings for my sshd (the server that allows me to connect to the web server “behind the scenes”). 7b1d91231a87fb75e0054e886a0dea57

Just this morning as I was tweaking things I “watched” someone in Russia try to guess passwords and account names. He was at 212.110.146.180 (u590.so-com.net) in case anyone is interested.

One of the biggest things I need to do is to re-train my customers to use a different program to upload files to their web sites. Right now I have them set to use FTP, but that needs to go away. SFTP looks like it will be the way to do things.
