I learn so much from you, Mr Ware. Your teaching style meshes exactly with my learning style. I just keep coming back to your tutorials and opinions here to get more and more information. What a resource you are for all of us doing server work! I tell my colleagues about you, but they are more advanced than I am, so I think they already know a lot already of what you present here. I also like the anecdotes and humor that embellish your presentations. Great job, Sir.

Agreed 👍

I really enjoy your content because it's content and not fluff or filler. I think it's important to cover the things working under the hood and I appreciate the work you put into your videos. Thank you! You've mentioned systemd a few times. Could you elaborate and maybe discuss alternatives?

On SystemD, I recently watched: . The Tragedy of SystemD kzread.info/dash/bejne/oZN1q9lykqrVl9I.html

DJ WARE is the man !

For all the videos thus far I watched, I kept thinking “lynus” was a reference to Linux Torvald. 😅

A wonderful vid - I learned so much new stuff.

@@CyberGizmo Yes - please keep them coming! I host my websites on my own on a VPS and my defense strategy is religiously updating OS and web apps, a system firewall + WAF for my websites, PKI authentication, IP access restrictions and use of 2FA wherever possible, but I know very little about how to audit myself and next to nothing on how to detect actual intrusions, even if very unlikely.

awesome, thanks!

Another great video, rkhunter is a fantastic tool.

I use it all the time, especially for the initial setup since I am using USB keys to load a new image

Thank you!!!!!!! I am learning so much

Nice and informative vid! However, writing sudo 10000 times maybe next time just go through root with su :)

using directly root is very dangerous

And what about software like tripwire?

Good Question, tripwire is a great tool I just use AIDE, I used to use tripwire, but for me personally I like the simplicity of AIDE a little bit better over Tripwire. But nothing wrong with Tripwire at all just a personal preference.

Hmm with rkhunter 8 rootkits, with chkrootkit none!?

Odd difference but they do not use the same method to detect and rkhunter will get quite a few false positives since it looks for file names which match known rootkits

There are rootkits, and viruses, and malware and just about everything that exists in the world of Windows and Mac. You would hope that the people using Linux?...are smart enough to know what NOT to click on, download, install etc. I think there's some kind of correlation between Windows and Linux. See, when my Mom who's 70+ was using Windows (back in the Windows XP / Windows 7 eras) it seemed she was constantly getting hit with a virus or some kind of unwanted app. After moving her to Linux Mint? (and making it looks as "Windows-ish" as possible) it seems she no longer needs my "help"?...LoL! Because the days of me having to come by and remove another toolbar, or get rid of some icon that just miraculously showed up on her Desktop? seem to be over, its even to the point where I showed her numerous times how to Update, and she doesn't even call me over for THAT anymore. SO...can it be that the older one gets when using Linux the BETTER of a computer user they become? HAhahaha!!! LoL! Thanks for these videos though....trying to get familiar with both Networking & Linux....and Security & Linux and these have helped tremendously. One question though.....and this is for not just you DJ Ware, but to all in this comments list. I currently don't have the available "hardware" to build / run a true"network" where there's a server, and various clients with their own nodes etc. What do you all recommend for someone who has just a desktop and a laptop to get familiar with actually working on a network? I don't know if VirtualBox....VM Ware....etc is what I'm looking for? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

One thing that happened for me is that sudo dpkg -V picked up a modification of rkhunter's mirrors.dat file as such: ??5?????? /var/lib/rkhunter/db/mirrors.dat However, I only ran sudo rkhunter --update, and I did change /etc/rkhunter.conf to provide UPDATE_MIRRORS=1 MIRRORS_MODE=0 WEB_CMD="" so, I am not quite sure why I didn't get the lower case "c" in the STDOUT to indicate the files was "correctly" modified.
