Web Hosting Talk : Advertising Forums : Employment Offers & Requests : Employment / Job Offers : Need Windows Security Expert

[slpc]

Greetings,

I have a web server running Windows Server '03 that I need buttoned down. So I'm looking for either:

A. Suggestions on who to hire
B. Resume/Past work experience/Pay Requirements sent to me via email

And what I need [exactly] is:

1. Visnetic Firewall config for all ports that I need open (hosting at Server Matrix, so knowledge of their ping programs and urchin will be a plus). I also have a custom app that will need ports opened. Beyond that, just the general port stuff (ftp, http, pop, etc.)
2. Make sure that the Window's Server itself is buttoned down as securely as possible. IPSEC Filtering and RRAS config a plus.

I'm 99% positive that I will have repeat business to give if I'm happy with the results.

Please post suggestions here or email me a copy of previous work and pay requirements to: careers AT netpublishhost DOT com

I would prefer a "work completed" pay requirement instead of hourly wage. This should only take a couple of hours at most for a seasoned expert and we have a budget allocated specifically for this task.

Thanks!

I think you posted in the wrong forum. You had to post it in: "Employment Offers and Requests" under "Related Offers and Requests".

Good lord! I looked all over for an employment forum! I can't believe it's this deep:

WebHostingTalk Forums > Advertising Forums > Related Offers and Requests > Employment Offers and Requests

Oh well:~)

Actually you can find the link to Employment Offers and Requests on the main page itself. It is just that there are subcategories

Software Firewall on windows may do well under some circumstances. But you may be better of putting a hardware firewall (or *nix server based firewall) in front of your windows servers. I had a medium DDOS attack on one of our windows servers at about 15-25 Kpps, and I have to tell you, I don't find any software firewall that can filter out these kinds of attacks. In fact, the instant the firewall is running, the server is brought to crawl due to excessive CPU usage. Not only that, the firewall actually causes packet losses at this amount of attacks. I've tried Visnetic, InJoy, RRAS, and many others. All of these cause more troubles than solving it, at least under the DDOS attacks scenario.

Just two cents.
