Encrypted files on a server

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 509 / 2 Years ago, sat, september 25, 2021, 1:29:10

There is a way of encrypting the data files stored on the server to harden them against direct access or hacking.

The website is in /var/www as usual and uses PHP to access data on another drive mounted as /home/data if that is any help. I coded up the site myself and with my level of coding I doubt it it is uncrackable.

I'm also concerned that someone may gain physical access to the computer, and get access to the data that way.

If you are concerned with physical disk security, have a look at eCryptfs
and this Linux security article.

Also; since you had a break in, you might consider Console Security.

For overall security, look into these Ubuntu security guidelines.

One last thing ; have a look at this great Linux Foundation publication on Linux security.
