All this hacking and compromised boxes finally motivated me to spend a few hours figuring how a semi-newbie can secure his box; I managed to get through the install of PortSentry just fine (yay!), I am stumped on how to start-up Portsentry, what am I missing? What do you folks that use it recommend as far as settings? tcp,udp,stcp,atcp,sudp or audp? TIA Frank
Hi Frank,I wanted to run Portsentry in advanced mode on my RaQ2...I never could get it to start using the -a switch for either tcp or udp. The only way it would start was with the basic -tcp and -udp flags. Just recently heard that it may be because I installed using the "generic" option instead of linux. I haven't had time to try reinstalling but I hope to in the near future. I think the switch you choose is a personal preference otherwise.
