Walk me through how you would harden a fresh internet-facing Linux server.
1
Leave direct root SSH login enabled with one very strong shared password so admins can sign in quickly when needed.
2
Minimize services, restrict SSH to keys, patch, run a default-deny firewall, enforce least privilege, and enable logging.
3
Install every available package and service up front so nothing is ever missing when a user later needs it.
4
Disable the host firewall entirely so that legitimate application traffic is never accidentally dropped or blocked.
Tip: press 1–4 to answer, Enter for next.
