Shut down those unused services
Samhain Labs | internet services
Once again the joatBlog led me to a really good article.
I’ve already shut down all unnecessary services on my Internet facing servers, but using the basic techniques in this article, I was reminded of another service I had added to my systems but no longer use. Scared me for a moment or two when I saw a service running on an unfamiliar port, until I figured out what it was.
This is rather old, basic, stuff, but that’s usually what fouls people up. They forget the basics.
