How secure is your hosting company ? - GoFuckYourself.com

JFPdude · 02-10-2005, 05:32 PM

Do they make sure when a tech leaves he can no longer access anything?

Or do they run their business like they pay those techs?

Non payment of a tech could also mean no security of the servers after the tech leaves.

hint hint

JFPdude · 02-10-2005, 05:39 PM

hmm no one is concerned ?

maybe I should have posted a would you hit it?

Is there any good way for me to test the security of my servers? Like hire a security consultant?

That would be a good place to start.

Another way would be to check who has access to your server IE: who is listed in the passwd file

BRISK · 02-10-2005, 05:55 PM

Got any suggestions on who to hire as a security consultant?

Can you prove that you know a lot about server security?

tungsten · 02-10-2005, 06:07 PM

good point but if you're hosted with a reputable company thats not something to worry about

Want references ?

People I have worked for:

Oxeo.com
Techiemedia.net
Prohosters.com
Pimpshost.com
some others ...

Along with that I have had access to many other servers throughout the years providing support and security.

Are you that tech?

Yup.

Cleaning off my desktop tonight I was going through all my email Icons on my desktop and lo and behold I found an email address still working after I haven't worked for this company in 6 months ...

I have all emails to and from support ...

This is bad security for a hosting company.

As stated Techiemedia is not the company ...
Oxeo is not the company either as they have top notch security.
Prohosters also has had me blocked since the day I left them.

Is there a reason that you have worked for so many different companies? Do you keep getting fired, or do you keep quitting?

That would be between me and them ...

However contracts end ... people go their seperate ways ... people move out of state ... things happen.

That doesn't inspire me with confidence to hire you.

Ok there are other tech security people on this forum feel free to hire someone you feel confident with.

The main thing about security is making you feel safe and if you don't feel safe with me so be it

i have a hacker friend that got hired by a HUGE security firm when he was 17, he has worked all over the world for them since then

every time I move servers I have him check it inside and out....he is fucking awesome...he even does hacking attempts at it...and then we fix what is needed

Please put Brisk in touch with this guy sounds like a good candidate.

Risky,

If someone tried to hack our servers we would sue them, and report them to fbi for a full investigation.

Be carefull some hosting companies have this in their policies.

I would say to find a reputable IT firm, mainly one that will contact the host to get details. Not one that would just try to break in and tell you he was denied ect...

Also this type of company will not be cheap $1000 to $2000 to start if they are reputable.

We have our networks scanned weekly:

Your right that would be cool,

I just remember once a customer called and said my hacker friend couldn't hack your server, great job.. and I said who is he so we can prosecute.

I hate to sound like a hard ass but security is very serious for hosts as you know.

In this case we actually let it go since the customer was long term and didn't realize it's bad to test security by trying to hack it.

Good luck my man.

BTW, I would help you bhut I think you host would not approve anothe rhost testing their security.
