Background: 15 years of experience in software and apparently spoiled because it was already set up correctly.
Been practicing doing my own servers, published a test site and 24 hours later, root was compromised.
Rolled back to the backup before I made it public and now I have a security checklist.
Why do like, houses have doors man. You gotta eliminate all points of egress for security, maaaan. /s
There’s no particular reason to disable root, and with a hardened system, it’s not even a problem you need to worry about…
