I wrote a new tutorial on my website about how to easily secure your Linux server today. The article is designed to point out the more common security flaws present in most of the servers that I work on (all of them easily fixed), in the hopes that more “administrators” and “consultants” will advise their clients to implement them.
I’m not trying to be “that guy” that makes it seem like most admins are lazy- but most admins do overlook basic or moderate security steps. They usually also cry out against strict security guidelines by saying that security breaks applications. While this is true for a novice, most seasoned administrators know what to not do when securing a server.
I can’t complain too much though I guess, since admins like this give me great job security!
