I'll take another run at it tomorrow night. Hopefully the second time there won’t be the same issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a different admin front end on my server, for convenience sake, but I do most of my work from the command line. Anyway, I hope you have a good firewall parked in front of that box. One thing I would do (If you are not already) is use a geoip database to block every country that doesn't require access to your system. There isn't much server overhead using geoip. Good luck with it. It is a mess indeed, so I just reduced my maintenance work to fixing hacks and related holes. At some point issues will take over and force me to start from scratch. I used to use GeoIP based banning linked in iptables, with a new IP database being pulled via cron every night, but we have international customers and too many got trapped by false negative IP range matches. Also, now most intrusions come from hacked servers within countries that are deemed safe. Last attack even came from a US based server. Most admins are dumb. You can provide them with all evidence and they still don't fix their ****, so I gave up on notifying anybody. Even RIPE doesn't care anymore when an entire IP range is invested and abused. Hosters sitting in certain countries know exactly what is going on and don't even respond to reports, and crap coming from China is often done through their government. But most hack attempts come from simple kiddo BS bot networks, trying to access old scripts with holes, spamming pop / ssh / ftp logins or trying to send spam from outdated php scripts, and they are rather primitive. I use Fail2ban for example. Anything trying to log in anywhere and failing 3 times within 1 week gets a perma ban. Got some 50k IPs banned last time I checked. Another script checks emails being sent from php scripts. Anything sending the same mail twice or repeatedly triggered from the same IP ends up in the same ban list. Maybe at the end of the summer I'll look into an all new shop and server. But until then I'm trying to get away from the news, politics, as well as IT crap, and enjoy life by going to the beach, doing some projects, and not giving a **** about anything for a change. 2020 truly sucked and with Dems now at the wheel, the car can only end up against the wall. Time to get away from that shitshow... Edited January 13, 2021 by crockett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostinTexas Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Well pooh. I was all excited about congratulating you on the move. Oh well, still wishing a seamless and uneventful move when you get it where you want it and make the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep telling yourself... ”I’m on the new site without any problems.” ”I’m on the new site without any problems.” ”I’m on the new site without any problems.” Won’t make it better but maybe it will seem better. FWIW I briefly felt that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampfox762 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hope it works this time Eric. I appreciate a guy like you, who takes his own time to make something like this available to "people of a persuasion". Thank you sir. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times a healthy tension is a good thing. It keeps all parties sharp and motivated. It isn't much fun for either usually, but not always a bad thing.
