If your running linux take every background process you have running and do a "______ exploit" google search on each one. (you may want to include version numbers) That often helps me know exactly what things I'm running may be at risk and respond appropriately.
Its also good to actually learn how to hack boxes because the more you know the safer you are.
Praying doesn't work because.... well... there is no god.
If anyone need security audit of owns servers we can provide that. We have some posts on bugtraq and any computer security sites Contact me if interesting
No, its not a true... My friends is security analyzers the same as cert.org... Bugtraq is only way to notify everyone...
Huh? Can you say that again res?
You said your friend runs a site called "Security Analyzers" that is similar to cert.org & Bugtraq is not the only source for security updates... right?

(I think thats what he said)
Of course we read bugtraq, but only for update our knowledge base... Also we have our research centre for security analyzing and development... We found 9 big holes in Microsoft products and 4 holes (remote roor spawm) in *nix-clones...
I got hacked a few months ago by a cp outfit who turned my server into a cp spam factory. What I did was:
1. Reinstall the OS (Linux)
2. Use iptables to block almost 100% of the server, even including common things like SSH, etc. Obviously you have to put in some back doors so you can manage it, but most importantly of all, never use plaintext protocols like telnet, ftp, etc.
3. That leaves the only possible exploits as coming in through apache or dns or something you can't turn off. As long as you always run the latest patch of those, its not that likely you'll get hacked.
