Essential Server Setup

• SIM - (System Integrity Monitor) - It reboots services that have failed within 5 minutes.
• SPRI – (System Priority) - Sets priority to current processes being run on your server, decreasing load 10-25%.
• PRM - (Process Resource Monitor) – Monitors all resources used by all processes and if a process is being flooded or causing high load on the server, it is killed.
• BFD - (Brute Force Detection) – Detects brute force connections and automatically enters the offending IPs into the firewall to be blocked.
• LES - (Linux Environment Security) - Enforces root-only permissions on system binaries as well as other restrictions on system programs.
• Exiscan and Clam-Antivirus or Qscanq (PLESK) with Clam-Antivirus – Detect emails containing viruses or spam and discard them so your server is not the origin of the spread of today’s common viruses or spam emails.
• /tmp & /var/tmp hardening – We harden /tmp and /var/tmp so no malicious scripts can be executed from the commonly used directory.
• /dev/shm hardening – Another place hackers tend to upload files to is /dev/shm. This directory is hardened as well.
• Optimize FTP Server for faster connections.
• Optimize MySQL & Apache to reduce load and speed up MySQL connections.
• Secure Apache which reduces the amount of information visible about a server's software making it less vulnerable.
• Host.conf Hardening – Prevents IP spoofing and prevents DNS poisoning.
• CHKRootKIt – Simple script that detects software used by hackers. It scans once a day and emails the client if any suspicious scripts are found.
• Disabling Unused Services – We disable unused services to prevent them from being exploited.
• Firewall Installation - (APF, Kiss, Bastille)
• TCP/IP Hardening – Prevents DDOS and SYN-Flood attacks.
• Logwatch – Sends a daily report to the client with all activity that has taken place on the server for that day.
• Operating System Optimization – Optimize the OS for faster operation and load reduction.
• Remove unused software – We remove unneeded software to minimize the number of software that could possibly be exploited.
• Remove unused services – Unused services are shutdown and their ports closed.
• Libsafe - Libsafe prevents buffer overflows and scans for exploitable software and notifies the client daily if any is found.
• eAccelerator and Zend Optimizer Installation - eAccelerator dramatically decreases page loading times by caching php scripts. in a compiled state.
• SSH Server Hardening - locks down and hardens the SSH server.
• Nessus Security Scan - We perform a security scan on your server and patch any vulnerabilities found.
