Our Ubuntu Server Hardening Script is the perfect solution for quickly and easily securing your new server. This script is intended to be run on a fresh box and will provide a quick start to securing your new server. The script includes several important security features that will help protect your server from potential attacks and breaches.
The script first updates and upgrades all packages on the server to ensure that all of the software is up-to-date and secure. Next, it installs and configures ufw firewall, which is a simple and easy-to-use firewall for Ubuntu. This firewall will help to block unwanted incoming traffic and protect your server from potential attacks.
The script also installs and configures fail2ban, which is a tool that helps to protect your server from brute-force attacks. This tool monitors your server’s log files and automatically bans IP addresses that are attempting to brute-force their way into your server.
Additionally, the script assists with the creation of a new user and adding it to the sudo group. This allows you to have a non-root user with elevated privileges, which is generally considered more secure than using the root user account.
The script also secures SSH by disabling password authentication and root login, and configures ClamAV, an open-source antivirus software, to help you detect and prevent malware on your server.
Overall, our Ubuntu Server Hardening Script is an essential tool for anyone looking to quickly and easily secure their new server. It offers a comprehensive set of security features that will help to protect your server from potential attacks and breaches.
DISCLAIMER: Just by using this script, doesn’t mean that your server is completely secure and immune from any risks or threats. These are just the bare essentials needed to ensure minimal protection. Every server is subject to different risks depending on their environment and you are ultimately responsible to ensure that all required precautions are taken.
