Secure a server?

[GeeZus]

How much would a general "Securing a server" going to cost?

OR is it fairly simple with just afew lines via ssh?

The server it self, users won't be able to login via ssh btw.

Let me know please, it might come in handy for some users here.

It is never as easy as just a few lines in ssh. As for a price for a good job. Lots of big companies that do it charge by an hourly fee, so there really is no way to say. A rough ball park in my opinion for a proper job would be from 100 - 200+ atleast

for one single server or that monthly? o.O

@GeeZus
One time fee for most places

Hmm, say i pay $100 to the person, then i chuck 10+ servers that be ok? lol

Just might come in handy this VERY SOON that's all.

For one how secure do you mean?

Their are multiple things you can do, but it all depends is their a panel?
Is their not a panel?
What OS is it?

When you say you don't want users to login via ssh do you mean ip access? Or would you rather change the port randomly and use a firewall like CSF to disable port scanning which would ban users who are scanning making it impossible to find the port.

Do you also need r00tkit advisors? Do you need custom auto kill scripts...

I can go through a list of a number of things which "can" be done to fully secure a server, But it depends on how much your willing to pay.

A lot of companies will charge by the hour unless you get a cheap wannabe who charge a monthly charge to "monitor" and secure your server which is a weekly once in a while check until something happens.

iptables -A INPUT ! -s xx.xx.xx.xx --dport 22 -j DROP
