    anything about sever security and how to configure the server to protect it from hackers and viruses?

  • 14 years ago

    A good start would be to have a firewall with all ports blocked except the server ports (ie. 80, 21) and an anti-virus program that automatically runs every weekend to find and kill viruses.

    I run a server and this has sufficed so far (looking at the logs is interesting, though - you WILL get lots of intrusion attempts) - if i get hacked i'll post again to warn you all :P
