Secure a server?

[JamesVaporH]

have you ever heard of a guy named NewEraCracker? he is good.

He mainly does windows servers he is not a linux techy.

As for GeeZus this is something you can easily do yourself.

Learn deny and allow in iptables since you are using ubuntu.

First edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to listen only on your server ip address

deny all traffic

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 513:65535 -d ser.ver.ip.here --dport 22 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j DROP

Accept from only your ip

iptables -A INPUT -s ! you.r.i.p -p tcp -m --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

edit: XSLTel pulled out a one liner well what he said should work.

The server it self, users won't be able to login via ssh btw. Let me know please, it might come in handy for some users here. Rating: 5
