local security

LAN security options for the server:

  • Whole disk encryption (prevents bypassing security by reading the disk with another computer).
  • Dedicated server (reduces exploitable surface area).
  • Automated Linux updates
  • Firewall blocking all but ssh and the Noodle http[s] ports (reduces exploitable surface area).
  • ssh keys (prevents password guessing on ssh).
  • IDS, and resource alerts
