# Server Hardening Summary ## 🛡️ Security Measures Implemented ### SSH Security - **Primary SSH (Port 22)**: Key-based authentication only, password authentication disabled - **Backup SSH (Port 2222)**: Emergency access when Tailscale is down - Restricted to authorized IP addresses - Same security settings as primary SSH - Currently authorized IP: YOUR_WAN_IP - **SSH Hardening**: Disabled root password login, reduced login grace time, limited auth tries ### Firewall Configuration - **UFW Firewall**: Active with default deny incoming policy - **Rate Limiting**: SSH and HTTP connections rate-limited to prevent brute force - **Service-Specific Rules**: - SSH: Ports 22 and 2222 (rate limited) - HTTP/HTTPS: Ports 80 and 443 (rate limited) - Gaming Services: Minecraft (25565), Garry's Mod (27015), PufferPanel (8080) - Revolt Chat: Ports 3000, 5000, 9000 - **Tailscale Integration**: Tailscale network (100.64.0.0/10) trusted ### Intrusion Prevention - **Fail2ban**: Active with 6 jails protecting: - SSH (both ports 22 and 2222) - Nginx HTTP authentication - Currently 34 IPs banned on SSH - **Ban Settings**: 1-hour bans after 3 failed attempts within 10 minutes ### Web Server Security - **Nginx Hardening**: - Modern TLS protocols only (TLS 1.2+) - Secure cipher suites - Security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) - Server tokens hidden ### System Security - **Automatic Updates**: Security updates configured for automatic installation - **User Account Security**: Non-essential accounts secured - **System Monitoring**: - Security check script: `/root/scripts/security-check.sh` - Logwatch installed for system monitoring - Backup access manager: `/root/scripts/backup-access-manager.sh` ## 🔧 Management Tools ### Backup SSH Access Manager Location: `/root/scripts/backup-access-manager.sh` Commands: - `./backup-access-manager.sh status` - Show current status - `./backup-access-manager.sh add-ip ` - Add IP to backup access - `./backup-access-manager.sh remove-ip ` - Remove IP from backup access - `./backup-access-manager.sh connect-info` - Show connection instructions ### Security Monitoring Location: `/root/scripts/security-check.sh` - Run manually or via cron for security status checks - Monitors fail2ban, firewall, SSH, and system updates ## 🚨 Emergency Access Procedures ### When Tailscale is Down 1. Ensure your current IP is authorized for backup SSH access 2. Connect using: `ssh -p 2222 root@YOUR_SERVER_IP` 3. Use the backup access manager to add/remove authorized IPs as needed ### Current Backup Access - **Port**: 2222 - **Authorized IP**: YOUR_WAN_IP - **Authentication**: SSH keys only (no passwords) ## 📊 Current Security Status ### Active Protections - ✅ SSH hardened (key-based auth only) - ✅ Firewall active with rate limiting - ✅ Fail2ban protecting SSH and web services - ✅ Nginx with modern TLS configuration - ✅ Automatic security updates enabled - ✅ Backup SSH access configured - ✅ System monitoring in place ### Services Protected - SSH (ports 22, 2222) - Nginx web server - Gaming services (Minecraft, Garry's Mod) - PufferPanel management interface - Revolt chat services ## 🔄 Maintenance Recommendations 1. **Regular Updates**: System will auto-update security patches 2. **Monitor Logs**: Check `/var/log/auth.log` and fail2ban logs regularly 3. **Review Access**: Periodically review authorized IPs for backup SSH 4. **Backup Keys**: Ensure SSH keys are backed up securely 5. **Test Access**: Periodically test backup SSH access method ## 📞 Support Commands - Check firewall status: `ufw status verbose` - Check fail2ban status: `fail2ban-client status` - Check SSH configuration: `sshd -T` - View security logs: `tail -f /var/log/auth.log` - Run security check: `/root/scripts/security-check.sh`
