Linux Server Security

You'll learn best practices to reduce the attack surface of your systems. You'll cover a test scenario assuming your Linux server is compromised, and take steps to counter the vulnerability and significantly reduce the attack surface by hardening the system. You will assess the vulnerability of Linux servers, brute-force passwords, and perform port scanning and security scans using testing tools such as Nmap, OpenVAS, and more. You will learn how to prevent rooting, disable direct root logins, work with SELinux, and fix SELinux file labeling errors. By the end of the course, you will be confident enough to take control of your Linux servers and use hands-on techniques to protect your server from internet attacks.
