About this Gig
Is your new VPS server exposed to online threats? A default Linux installation is not secure and can be vulnerable to attacks within minutes of going online.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, data centers, and Linux administration, I offer a professional hardening service to protect your server from hackers, malware, and data theft. As an IT specialist and security professional, I will meticulously implement a multi-layered security strategy on your server.
What I will do to secure your VPS:
- SSH Hardening: Change the default port, disable root login, and enforce key-based authentication.
- Firewall Configuration: Set up and configure a robust firewall (UFW/firewalld) to block unauthorized ports.
- Intrusion Detection: Install and configure tools like Fail2Ban to automatically block malicious IPs.
- System Updates: Ensure all software packages are up-to-date to patch known vulnerabilities.
- Malware & Rootkit Scans: Perform a full system scan to detect and remove any existing threats.
- Service Auditing (Premium): Review and disable any unnecessary services to minimize your server's attack surface.
Operating system:
Linux
FAQ
What Linux distributions do you support?
I support all major distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat, and Fedora, which I have been administering for over a decade.
Will this service impact my live website or application?
The security enhancements are designed to run without service interruption. However, a server reboot may be required to apply some system-level changes. It is always recommended to perform hardening before your site goes live.
What information will you need from me?
I will require SSH login credentials for your server (IP address, username, and password). A user with root or sudo privileges is necessary. All credentials are treated with the strictest confidentiality.
Is this a one-time service?
Yes, this gig is for a one-time hardening of your server. Security is an ongoing process, but this service will establish a very strong security baseline to protect you from the most common threats.
