than you should read manpages and at least take a look at
iptables --list --numeric --verbose
(it shows up in my Applications list!) but what do I do to ensure my PC's
safety?....
use a portscanner like nmap to test for open ports and close them if not needed
it happens really fast that whatever app starts listening on a prt and for ports
1024 this does not need admin permissions
I've gone ahead and installed ClamAV...and that works fine...I run it every
Friday...and to date...it's
NEVER found "threats"...but I'm just wondering what I could do to "harden" my
security...(not to mention it will
come in handy as hands-on experience when I get my RHCSA cert....which I'm
attempting to get!) any pointers or tips
would be greatly appreciated!
* nmap
* nessus
google for "intrusion detection"
Excellent! Thanks a million Reindl!
