Re: [Guide] Securing Your Server & Site!!

ok for people who are going to say "no DMZ is bad"

read this before you spam:
The main advantage of implementing a DMZ instead of just using a firewall is that when an attacker compromises a public server, the risk to the internal servers is reduced because the public servers and internal servers are separate from each other. When the compromised server resides in a DMZ, the attacker isn't able to directly attack other more-sensitive servers on the internal network. The firewall blocks any attempt by the DMZ computers to connect to internal computers, except for specifically allowed connections. For example, you might configure your firewall to let the Web server in the DMZ connect to an internal Microsoft SQL Server machine through a specific TCP port. If an intruder compromises the Web server, he or she might be able to attack the SQL Server machine on that port. However, the intruder won't be able to attack the SQL Server machine's other services and ports or other computers on the internal network. . . .

Re: [Guide] Securing Your Server & Site!!

Running Server on Windows Vista:

my advice is use the server on "Windows 2003 Server" windows vista true has a little bit more security than windows server but the C++ and Visual are more advanced on Vista than Windows 2003

Windows 2003 is better to run a server for more features and smoother:
its ment to run servers (duh).

According to the hackers I've talked to on IRC, this guild will not resolve any of the latest hacker attacks.

But it's some good tips anyway :)

well bleh it helps somewhat.. it takes more skills to hack a server with this guide but see the problem is.. home pcs are hackable no matter what.

having a dedicated server lowers the risk by a lot XD

1. DMZ opens ALL ports, so you will need a good firewall then to block all standard closed ports (http, ftp, smtp, ...). In your small text you just say that if you run a lan and have DMZ on, the only possible "victim" will be the lan server where the DMZ is active, but THAT is your Kal server...

If ppl don't know how to open a port, don't let them run a server ^^

2. Why do you think Dedicated servers cannot be hacked that easily? Protected home computers and routers are way more secure than dedicated servers without any firewall.

Of course you need some knowledge of networking and firewalls etc.

3. XAMPP is nice, you only need to know how to configure it well, as Shortor said.

4. Why remove the Stones of Return??? Just make an own teleporter and give the Stones of Return that dialogue...


apart from that its a nice guide...

netstat-a oooh nice lol
well if you get a fake ip it will prevent people from hacking your computer =D you cant track down an ip that doesnt exist..

about the dmz, yeah i know thats why i said turn it on at your own risk.. makes it easier to open the needed ports, and yeah dedicated servers are hard to hack.

oh well as i said the guide isnt close to be done, im looking for more ways to secure "servers who run on home pc" =P hehe
