DIY Approach

What If You Don't Have Security Audit Scanner?

Before Security Audit Scanner, this is what server management looked like. Spoiler: it wasn't fun.

1

SSH into server

Connect to audit security.

terminal
ssh root@your-server-ip
2

Check open ports

See what's exposed.

terminal
netstat -tlnp
# Or:
ss -tlnp
# Now figure out which ports should be open
3

Review SSH config

Check security settings.

terminal
cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -E "^[^#]"
# PermitRootLogin yes  <- BAD
# PasswordAuthentication yes  <- RISKY
# Fix each one manually
4

Configure firewall

Set up UFW rules.

terminal
ufw status
ufw allow 22/tcp
ufw allow 80/tcp
ufw allow 443/tcp
ufw enable
# Lock yourself out? Hope you have console access!

Wrong rule = locked out of your server.

5

Install Fail2ban

Set up brute-force protection.

terminal
apt install fail2ban
cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
# Configure manually...
systemctl enable fail2ban
systemctl start fail2ban
