Servers for Hackers: Fresh Server Security Setup

Frustrated by Magento? Then you’ll love Commerce Bug, the must have debugging extension for anyone using Magento. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro, Commerce Bug will save you and your team hours everyday. Grab a copy and start working with Magento instead of against it.

Updated for Magento 2! No Frills Magento Layout is the only Magento front end book you'll ever need. Get your copy today!

I’ve had these three free videos on my watch list for a while now. In twenty one minutes Chris Fidao runs you through the basic things you’ll want to do whenever you spin up a new VM somewhere.

The videos cover setting up a non-root ssh user, locking down who can log in via SSH and forcing those same people to use SSH keys instead of passwords, using fail2ban to setup automatic rate limiting of people bots trying to access your server, and using iptables to setup firewalls rules that will only allow SSH and HTTP traffic into your servers.

If YouTube’s defacto house style and influencer culture (hey guuuuuuuuuuys) have turned you off of video content you should still check these out. Chris does screencast teaching/learning right.
