Optimization Tips: 1. Graph performance statistics with MRTG. In order to keep track of how well your Nagios installation handles load over time and how your configuration changes affect it, you should be graphing several important statistics with MRTG. This is really, really, really useful when it comes to tuning the performance of a Nagios [...]

Best Practices Use a Dedicated Monitoring Box. I would recommend that you install Nagios on a server that is dedicated to monitoring (and possibly other admin tasks). Protect your monitoring server as if it were one of the most important servers on your network. Keep running services to a minimum and lock down access to [...]

OpenVPN can be downloaded here. For security, it’s a good idea to check the file release signature after downloading. The OpenVPN executable should be installed on both server and client machines, since the single executable provides both client and server functions.

Most wireless networks are completely unprotected when you first set them up. However, in just a few minutes, you can protect your wireless network by using the same method banks use to protect your password when you log on to their Web sites: encryption. Encryption scrambles data on your wireless network so that only computers [...]

The first step of securing the server is to prepare a chrooted environment for the Apache server with PHP module. At this point, we should perform all the steps described in the “Chrooting the server” section of the previous article. In addition, before running Apache in chrooted environment for first time, we must also copy [...]

The last step of securing the server is implementing the logging of the GET and POST payloads, and implementing protection against Cross-Site-Scripting and SQL Injection attacks. In order to perform that, we will use the mod_security module, which we enable by adding the following line into httpd.conf: AddModule mod_security.c To enable logging of the GET [...]
