Hello everyone,

In this tutorial I'm going to show that how can you create passwordless login to VPS.

1. Download PuTTY Key Generator from here: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/late...ttygen.exe
And then start it.


2. You can change "number of bits in a generated key" to "4096" if you would like to be more secure.


3. Then click to  Generate and make some random moves with your mouse.

4. When It's finished, then save Public and then save Private key to a safe location on your HDD and to a second place too, for example a flashdrive.
It will ask that "Are you sure that you want to save this key without passphrase to protect it?".
Simple click to Yes.

5. Create a new text file with authorized_keys.txt name and copy the PuTTY Key Generator's windows content into this file.

6. Login to your VPS over SSH with root.

7. Enter these commands:
To check where you are, you must be in your home directory
If you are not in home, then you must go there
To create a new .ssh directory
To create and edit authorized_keys file
(if you get a "-bash: nano: command not found" error then you must first install nano with "apt-get install nano" command)
Simple copy your authorized_keys.txt file's content to this newly created file or you can copy directly from PuTTY Key Generator's windows content into this file.
Save and exit.

8. Enter these command to modify permissions

9. Open and edit sshd_config file
Search the PermitRootLogin line.
Delete "Yes" or "No" and replace with "without-password".
Save changes and exit from nano.

9. Restart your VPS

10. Locate your private key in Putty

/Connection/SSH/Auth/Browse

11. Save connection in Putty and Connect

In this example I entered Google's DNS IP address (8.8.8.8). You have to replace it with your own VPS's IP address.
If you changed your SSH port in the previous tutorial then don't forget to use the right port.
Under the "Saved Sessions" enter your VPS's name (for example Post4VPS) and then click to save.

And you are ready. Putty won't ask for password anymore!

Times Of India

Hello Everyone,

In this tutorial I'm going to show you that how can you make the basic things that you can secure your Debian/Ubuntu based VPS server.

Let's start!

• 1. Login to your VPS server over SSH.
  
  If you have a root account, then login with root.
  If do not have a root account then you must login with the user that is available, but  you must write sudo before every commands.
  
  
• 2. If you are on your server first update the packages list with
  
  
  Code:

  apt-get update
  
  
• 3. After that update and install the newest packages with
  
  
  Code:

  apt-get upgrade
  
  
• 4. Install unattended-upgrades
  
  
  Code:

  apt-get install unattended-upgrades
  
  
  With this package you can easily install security updates in the future.
  
  
• 5. Run unattended-upgrades
  
  
  Code:

  unattended-upgrade -v
  
  This will install security updates. This will take 1-2 minutes.
  After it is finished then restart your VPS.
  
  
  Code:

  reboot
  
  
• 6. Set the correct date, time and timezone
  
  
  Code:

  dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
  
  First choose the continent that you are on. http://kepfeltoltes.hu/151021/1_continen...es.hu_.png
  Then select the city where you are living. http://kepfeltoltes.hu/151021/2_citiy_se...es.hu_.png
  Nota bene: If you would like to see your local time then do this above.
  But you can choose your VPS's physical location too if you would like to see how much is the time where the VPS is located at.
  
  
• 7. Disable answering to PING requests
  
  First install my favorite command line text editor which is nano.
  
  
  Code:

  apt-get install nano
  
  Then open and edit a text config file with nano
  
  
  Code:

  nano /etc/sysctl.conf
  
  Simple copy and paste these two lines to the end of the file:
  
  Code:

  net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1
  
  Then press CTRL and X at the same time to exit from Nano.
  Then save and overwrite the old file by pressing Y then ENTER keys.
  
  
• 8. Change default SSH port, lower login grace time and disable root login with nano
  
  
  Code:

  nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  
  Find these lines:
  
  
  Code:

  Port 22
  You can change this to anything, but I advise to choose from 10000 to 65535 range.
  
  
  Code:

  LoginGraceTime 120
  Lower it 12
  
  
  Code:

  PermitRootLogin yes
  Change it to no.
  :exclamation: Warning! Disable root login is advised only if you have got at least one other account on your VPS that you can login with.
  If you don't have an another user on your VPS other than root and you disable root login then you won't be able to login to your VPS server anymore.
  Then press CTRL and X at the same time to exit from Nano.
  Then save and overwrite the old file by pressing Y then ENTER keys.
  
  :idea: But you can create a second user easily.
  Use numbers in the username and if someone would like to hack your server then he has much harder work to guess the username with numbers and then guess the password too.
  
  
  Code:

  adduser Sec0ndUser --force-badname
  
  Then enter the new user's password, then repeat it.
  You don't have to fill the other fields, simple press ENTERs.
         Full Name []:
         Room Number []:
         Work Phone []:
         Home Phone []:
         Other []:
  Is the information correct? [Y/n]
  
  If you logged in to your VPS with normal user and would like to do modifications then you can use sudo before every command to gain root access, or simple change user with the su command.
  
  
• 9.Install and configure Fail2ban
  
  Your VPS is a public server on the web and everyone can see it.
  A lot of hackers would like to get into it and steal your data and resources to send SPAM emails or attack other servers with your VPS.
  To prevent this we disabled ping answers, root login over SSH, changed SSH ports. But we always can do more.
  To install one of the best security software for Linux enter this:
  
  Code:

  apt-get install fail2ban
  
  To configure we have to edit config files with nano:
  
  Code:

  nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf
  
  Find these lines and make changes like I did:
  
  Code:

  bantime  = 80000
findtime = 30000
maxretry = 2
[ssh]
enabled  = true
port     = ssh,12345
  
  Note: 12345 should be your previously chosen SSH port number in Step 8.
  Then save it.
  
  You can check when and where the hackers from want to access your VPS by typing:
  
  Code:

  cat /var/log/fail2ban.log
  
  Don't worry, of course fail2ban successfully stopped them.
  Here you can see their IP addresses.
  If you would like to know that where they are from, then enter this:
  
  Code:

  wget -qO- http://getipaddr.net/more/index.php?ip=8.8.8.8
  
  
  Code:

  8.8.8.8
Country: United States
Country code: US
Region: CA
Region code: California
City: Mountain View
94040
Latitude: 37.386
Longitude: -122.0838
Timezone: America/Los_Angeles
ISP: Google
Organization: Google
ASN: AS15169 Google Inc.
rDNS: 8.8.8.8
  
  This just example, you must replace Google's IP address with the hackers' IP address that you can find in fail2ban.log.
  
  
• +1 Choose the right password
  Your passwords should be very long and very complex.
  You don't have to remember to it, simple use a password manager application.
  I suggest to use KeePass. It's free and opensource.
  You can donwload it from here: http://keepass.info/
  

Congratulations!
If you did all of the above then you are ready with securing with your VPS server.
