Safe, so far.  I’ve managed

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 21, 2002

Safe, so far.  I’ve managed over the years to keep my home firewall machine safe from the outside world, but my server has been rooted twice, and one machine that I sysadmin as a volunteer as been rooted once in the past four years.  It pays to stay on top of things…  Nice job by this user..  Good Gravy, That was Quick!. Eventually, I hope to don the mantle of sysadmin, when I host my own domain and Web server at the end of my DSL line. Naturally, security is important to me; I don’t want my box to be the one that is used to spray the net with crap, so I’ve been moving slowly, making sure I understand everything I intend to put on the wire. I knew the Internet had become a less friendly place, populated by more and more jerks, but until tonight, I had no idea just how supremely virulent some of them were. [kuro5hin.org]
