Initial Server Setup

1 - login in the server

$ ssh root@ip

2 - change root password

$ passwd

3 - create new user

$ /usr/sbin/adduser user_name

4 - install gvim

$ apt-get install vim-gnome 

5 - give the user root privileges

$ visudo

#set the new user

user_name ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

6 - configure ssh

$ vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Port xxxx

Protocol 2

PermitRootLogin no

#add it at the bottom

UseDNS no

AllowUsers user_name #replace user_name with your username

Now reload the ssh

$ reload ssh

Install Fail2Ban

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-ssh-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-12-04

$ sudo apt-get install fail2ban
$ sudo cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
$ sudo vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

[ssh]

enabled = true

port = xxxx # port setted in sshd_config

filter = sshd

logpath = /var/log/auth.log

maxretry = 6

restart fail2ban

$ sudo service fail2ban restart

Setup firewall

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-using-ip-tables-on-ubuntu-12-04

# Prevent killing ourself
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# open ssh and web trafic port - xxxx is the port setted in sshd_config
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport xxxx -j ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
# block all remaning trafic
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
# add loopback inteface (in first position)
$ sudo iptables -I INPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT

Saving and restoring IP tables.

$ sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent
# yes for ipv4 and ipv6
# start iptables persistent
$ sudo service iptables-persistent start
