Securing Slackware server
by dalgrim from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JF7G)
I'm looking for some suggestions on securing my slackware 15 server. For now it's only running a couple video game servers for my kids and a mariadb (mysql) that I use for development. I have a firewall (dedicated hardware router/firewall/IPS) that only allows the appropriate IP4 ports through however IPv6 is a thing and not knowing as much about it I'm concerned about security on the linux box.
I have disabled SSH password logins, requiring keys.
I stay up to date with slackpkg+
I routinely manually check the last and lastb looking for any strange logins <-- I'd like a more automated way to check this, maybe something like "fail2ban".
I only run the network processes/applications I actively use.
Any other suggestions or resources?
