Downtime this week

Downtime of server later this week - nearly done :-)

i have written a powerpoint which has now nearly 70 pages...
I need one day or more to reinstall the server.

  • Backup all databases
  • Backup the filesystem
  • Scan the backup for exploits ad spyware, crapware, rootkit
  • Reinstall the server with Suse 10.0 and Plesk 8.2
  • Increase security -> ssh only with PKI and protocol 2, permissions.d, appArmor, se linux
  • Review Plesk packages -> no PHP4, mySQL4 for example
  • Install required modules in Apache: mod_evasive, mod_security, mod_limitip, php5 runing with fastcgi and suexec
  • Maybe  install http://www.hardened-php.net/hardening_patch.14.html#what_is_the_hardening-patch
  • Domains and Subdomains will be newly created
  • Restore evrything -> all password will be changed
  • Alle administrator panel (Joomla, + plesk) will be with htaccess protected
  • Crontab -> chkrootkit, exploit.sh,  rkhunter,

So it will be a very intensive day...sorry for the downtime
