I hardened the server. Changed the SSH port. Disabled root login. Added keys. Configured the firewall.
Still got root access from the internet. 😳
The issue wasn’t a zero-day exploit or some advanced hacker technique, it was a single firewall default set to ACCEPT instead of DROP. One overlooked setting opened the door.
Big reminder for every sysadmin and homelab owner:
⚠️ Secure defaults matter more than fancy tweaks.
⚠️ Audit your configs, not just your intentions.
⚠️ Logs are useless if nobody checks them.
Sometimes the most dangerous vulnerability is a misconfigured default. 🔐

Choosing the right file-sharing protocol can save you hours of headaches 🔧💻
🟢 NFS = Fastest for Linux-to-Linux environments
🔵 Samba = Best for mixed OS setups (Windows/macOS/Linux)
🟣 SSHFS = Secure and simple for remote access over SSH
Different tools. Different strengths. Pick what fits your workflow. 🚀

Trying to prep for RHCSA but stuck setting up labs?
You’re not alone.
Most people waste hours:
• Downloading ISOs
• Configuring VMs
• Fixing crashes
• Starting over
And barely practicing.
What if you could just open a tab and start?
No setup. No excuses. Just real practice.
🚀 Try browser-based RHCSA labs
