Excited to share I discovered that a hacker had gotten into a friend’s business website. The websites of businesses (which weren’t designed all that carefully, with security in mind) are the most common way that hackers find a way to break in. Did you know that? Note: It’s a Saskatoon business, and I’ll leave it unnamed further than that, for confidentiality.
If you’d like to hire me to investigate your website for any traces of hacker activity, please get in touch.
A website of mine was getting thickly attacked by bots. This has become even worse than in the last few months. My Monthly Network Transfer limits were under threat to be exceeded, at my cloud hosting provider. So I installed Anubis to protect my site.
After only one day of use of Anubis, the volume of traffic to my site all of a sudden reduced by about 40%.
Anubis can be quite tricky to install.
I’ve got copyparty working behind a proper reverse proxy. This allows it to be publicly accessed using a nice domain name with SSL.
A reverse proxy (on a cloud VPS) re-directs the https traffic into my home lab where Copyparty is running on a Raspberry Pi 4:
Some geek friends of mine did some stress testing all at once on this Copyparty server. It could take a savage, nasty beating and survive.
