Oni Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I was wondering what you guys did to keep an eye on your home servers or big servers you work on? Keeping check of logs can be tough and being on the defensive is quite important. So far i've looked at: Snort OpenVAS (running to check for exploits) Arpwatch chkrootkit Though I suspect there are other things one needs to do with logs...specifically making logs easy to read as most info will be in these. I've rerouted my mail so i can get at it anywhere so I do get occasional alerts which is good. Just wondered if there was anything else people would recommend?

Another way to make a server more secure, is to install the server as a core server instead of a full installation. Only installing the services that are required and only managing the server through a shell command prompt instead of the GUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
