I have disabled “lamed server” logging which tends to clutter daily log files. All notifications are sent to your root email account. We recommend to setup a forward from root account to your main email account. Let us know if you need help with this. I have installed a 24x7 System Internal Monitor which checks all services and restarts them when they are down. It will also dispatch an email whenever downed service is detected. I have installed SPRI which changes priority of different processes in accordance to level of importance. You should see a 5-20% decrease in the average load level of your server. I have installed PRM which monitors your server for processes that use extensive server resources for prolonged periods of time. These processes will be logged and killed, preventing server from overloading and potential server crashes. An email will be dispatched whenever a process is logged and killed. /dev/shm & /var/spool/mail have been hardened in order to prevent the execution of malicious scripts. I have disabled all insecure scripts that come with cPanel. MySQL server has been optimized. Apache Web Server has been secured and optimized. Mod_security with mild ruleset and mod_dosevasive have been compiled and installed in Apache in order to prevent common web-based DoS attacks and filter php-based attack trends (i.e: php injection exploits). OpenSSH and OpenSSL servers have been upgraded to the very latest secure versions. OpenSSH has also been hardened. I have removed all unused software from the server. it will significantly decrease the chance of server compromise due to software exploits. All unnecessary services have also been suspended. I have removed all default system users and groups that aren't being used and pose additional security threat. LCAP limitation has been put into place. It will limit the ptrace option which allows attaching to, and controlling the execution of, arbitrary and malicious processes. I have tweaked sysctl.conf in order to harden the TCP/IP stack from syn-flood attacks and other network abuse. I have installed BFD, which notifies you of authentication failures. BFD works with the firewall to place real time bans on offending IPs. This system will send you an email if it detects an attack on the system so we may investigate further. Libsafe has been installed, it filters common software attacks and overflows. I have hardened host.conf in order to prevent dns lookup poisoning & spoofing protection. CHKRootKit and RKhunter have been installed. They will detect rootkits and notify you via email if any have been found. /tmp and /var/tmp have been hardened in order to prevent the execution of malicious scripts. APF Firewall has been installed. Anti-Dos / Anti-Spoof rulesets have been activated on the firewall. Tripwire has been installed and will dispatch emails whenever filesystem integrity is breached. Snort is up and running and is set to auto-block any IPs that try to flood any of the servers. Detailed report is dispatched every time DoS/DDoS attack takes place. LES has been installed to add an additional level of local environment security to prevent against environment based attacks. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards Mike
