Author: By Etel Sverdlov About vsftpd The first two letters of vsftpd stand for "very secure" and the program was built to have strongest protection against possible FTP vulnerabilities. Step One—Install vsftpd You can quickly install vsftpd on your virtual private server in the command line: sudo apt-get install vsftpd Once the file finishes downloading, the VSFTP will be on your droplet. Generally speaking, it is already configured with a reasonable amount of security. However, it does provide access on your VPS to anonymous users.

Author: DigitalOcean Introduction One of the first lines of defense in securing your cloud server is a functioning firewall. In the past, this was often done through complicated and arcane utilities. There is a lot of functionality built into these utilities, iptables being the most popular nowadays, but they require a decent effort on behalf of the user to learn and understand them. Firewall rules are not something you want yourself second-guessing. To this end, UFW is a considerably easier-to-use alternative. What is UFW? UFW, or Uncomplicated Firewall, is a front-end to iptables. Its main goal is to make managing your firewall drop-dead simple and to provide an easy-to-use interface. It’s well-supported and popular in the Linux community—even installed by default in a lot of distros. As such, it’s a great way to get started securing your sever.

Author: LEB Have you ever wished you could monitor the performance of your server after the fact? Or did you ever want to get some statistics of your server, about it’s performance and the amount of resources used? Look no further: Munin is here! Munin is a resource monitoring tool that helps you monitor server performance and analyze problems after they happened. Munin uses RRDtools, a data logging and graphing system, for storing and displaying logged data. It’s plug and play and has over 500 plugins available. It’s open source and freely available. In addition to all that, it has networking capabilities so a monitoring master can hold the data for all nodes in a cluster (more on that next week). So, I’m going to show you how to set up and configure Munin on a single node and check those graphs. As usual, written for and tested on both CentOS and Ubuntu.

The Test Author: kbeezie I’ll show you a very simple demonstration of Nginx’s Limit Request module and how it may be helpful to you in keeping your website up if you are hit by excessive connections or HTTP based denial-of-service attacks. For this test I’m using a copy of my site’s about page saved as about.html, and the Blitz.io service (which is free at the moment) to test the limit_req directive. First I test the page with the following command in Blitz, which will essentially ramp the number of concurrent connections from 1 to 1,075 over a period of 1 minute. The timeout has been set to 2 minutes, and the region set to California. I also set it to consider any response code other than 200 to be an error, otherwise even a 503 response will be considered a hit.
