Easy Linux Security Script
So I was reading a lot of tutorials here on WHT, and found a link to web4host.net
I found on their homepage that they have this project called ELS, and would like to share it with you.
http://www.web4host.net/els.php
To get it up and running for you, issue the following command as root:
wget -O installer.sh http://els.web4host.net/installer.sh
chmod +x installer.sh
sh installer.sh
This script helped me setup some security enhancement for my VPS, and I hope this helps you out too!██ Rg Enzon, Founder & Designer @ Play Technica

In some cases, hardening your /tmp, /var/tmp and /dev/shm or other measures should be done manually.

In all cases security measures should be done manually by trained professionals who know what they're doing, not by some kid who downloaded something off of the internet in their dad's basement.
Securing your server is not an automated process. Sure, some of it can be (firewall administration, log rotation, etc), but that's just the small end of the spectrumTom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire

Hardening a server with a script? pointless. No server is the same, doing it manually is the only way to fly!

It doesn't seem useful to be honest, APF is not as good as CSF.
I wouldn't trust it with a barge pole.

Relying on any automated script to secure your server is a very, very, bad idea. Especially since their site says it was tailored for OS versions that are end-of-life and their script has not been updated in almost 3 years. So aside from not being of any benefit, it can potentially actually do harm by modifying your system to what the standards were 3 years ago (mysql 4.1, APF firewall, etc.)
