Hi Guys,
I would like advice for best practices to secure my linux boxes. Know if I have been hacked, know of security breaches, etc.
Can anyone provide advice?
Check out Bastille Linux. It's not a distro, it's a system hardening tool, and many things it does are referred to by the NIST guidelines.
I, personally, used a firewall/router that I build using it on RH 9, and for around 10 years, never had an intrusion.
