Because there is not that much to do here I work on my Linux Vserver most of the time. I connect to it over ssh and use only the shell for it. Mostly I play a bit and install software and server solutions for fun and experience. At the moment I try to get my Linux VPS as secure as possible. I started to install fail2ban a linux software that creates logs and bans IPs that fail to connect via ssh to often. Its fairly powerful and in combination with sendmail its even capable to send me mails with information’s about logins and failed connection attempts. Now I try to get a program that captures network traffic to write a log file and send it me per mail in a time interval. To see if suspicious IPs connect to the server or anything eats my bandwidth. Maybe I write a entry when I have that done and with which tools.
