Linux Anti Virus for Websites
Image via Wikipedia
Just because you run linux does not mean you completely forgo anti virus. Your website can be broadcasting Windows viruses or malware. Clamav, run from the command line, will scan your web directories recursively to identify various concerns. Install Clamav:
Then you can run Clam manually or you can install a cron job for it to be run automatically. Running Clam as root allows you to scan the higher level directories. The following command will scan the entire computer and remove viruses and malware:
sudo clamscan -r / --remove
Set this as a cronjob to run in the middle of the night; add it to the root crontab list:
0 2 * * * clamscan -r / --remove

Subsequently check your auth.log file, in /var/log, for login attempts. If you see countless failed login attempts you have been the victim of a brute from [...]

Particularly to the mysqld section!!: log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log binlog-do-db=exampledb server-id=1 Exampledb is the database that you intend [...]

You’d be surprised what you can accomplish when you aren’t even close to your computer. Using Rsync you can completely backup your /home directory. I back it all up, except one directory, which I handle differently. rsync –exclude=”~/.VirtualBox” /home /media/backup I mount a usb hard drive to /media/backup. Make sure you set proper permissions: sudo [...]
