HI

Steps :

1 ) Dont run Xwindows and better install MINIMAL/SERVER edition of OS
2 ) Remove all unwanted packages. U can very well reduce the number of packages to 300max
3 ) Remove all unwanted user/group accounts
4 ) Update the packages
5 ) Do security tunings in Sysctl.conf
6 ) Do security tunings in ssh like stop Xforwarding, No Root Login etc
7 ) Put Warning in MOTD , issue and issue.nt
8 ) Make sure u need anonymous ftp or not
9 ) Signature off the Apache
10 ) Put login alert script in ,bashrc and .bash_logout to mail u if someone logsin/out
11 ) Run tripwire daily
12 ) Keep the machine behind firewall,ids/ips
13 ) Do security tunings in security.conf
14 ) Run apache-ssl instaed of apache
15 ) Run apache etc in chroot
16 ) Check whether u need Directory listing in Apache if not block it.
17 ) Run Clamav kind of freeAV for scanning.
18 )
To prevent ProFTPd DoS attacks using ../../.., add the following line in /etc/proftpd.conf: DenyFilter \*.*/

Finally

1 ) Run free Vulnerability scanners like Retina etc and find any vulnerability is there in final machine
2 )take all inventory like packages installed etc and do a weekly check is there any change in packages.

Hi,

I plan to secure my Debian stable (or testing if you say it's better) server.


I already did the followings:
- installed chkrootkit
- installed fail2ban (for ssh and proftpd)
- allow only one user (not root) via /etc/ssh/sshd_config, only ssh v2


The followings daemon are installed :
- proftpd
- apache2
- ssh

Would you please list me which packages to install and which rules to apply ?

Many thanks,
Jean-Paul
