Server Hacks!

[LinkHunter]

I know that some of you probaby have encountered a server or account hack to where pesky hackers insert files and such to operate from a site!!

What are some good ways to prevent people from accessing your server?

I have my ways but they are not always 100%

Can you share?

I think most solution always work for a while. I used to manage my servers myself but when I had more than five, I find it difficult to manage them all myself.

I will actually recommend that you get a server management company to harden your service for you, it cost about $99. They will lick the server down, remove demons you don need, close ports you do not use, rout well know port to listen on a different port address to foll hackers etc.
I think its $99 worth investing.

I agree with Temi, while I know whats going on, I maintain a server admin who is a security expert. In order to secure a server, you sort of need to know how to hack one.

I would advise you to start installing a good and well-known firewall. In addition, you may want to install a good antivirus package. If you own a dedicated server I would seriously apply these two softwares and you should definitely have a better security.

Our company is just about completed the works to getting back online after a serious server breach which basically killed our server so much so that it made it unoperable.

Mind you i think the idiot got caught as he used his own ip.

Not the sharpest tool in the tool shed really.
