Securing your Linux server
Wednesday, 09 February 2005
When you have root access (SSH) to your server you can make it more secure by doing:
chmod 000 /usr/bin/perlcc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/byacc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/yacc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/bcc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/kgcc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/cc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/wget
chmod 000 /usr/bin/gcc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/i386*cc
chmod 000 /usr/bin/*c++
chmod 000 /usr/bin/*g++
chmod 000 /usr/lib/bcc /usr/lib/bcc/bcc-cc1
chmod 000 /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/cc1

chmod 750 /usr/bin/curl

And if you need it to install something:


chmod 755 /usr/bin/perlcc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/byacc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/yacc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/bcc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/kgcc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/cc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/wget
chmod 755 /usr/bin/gcc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/i386*cc
chmod 755 /usr/bin/*c++
chmod 755 /usr/bin/*g++
chmod 755 /usr/lib/bcc /usr/lib/bcc/bcc-cc1
chmod 755 /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/cc1

It's not the best solution but it works. Watch out with wget some scripts need it.
