Security Challenge

I was reviewing the results of my IPNS Scanner and found that a new blog is listed: ParanoidPenguin.net. In addition to being available on the http(s) web, it is also available on the ipfs web. I don’t know (yet) if the IPFS version is official (the site being a static site generated by hugo makes me think it is likely).

Browsing over the articles, one in particular stood out to me, this one on web server security. I run a web server for me to have access to personal services while away from my home network, and as they are exposed to the internet at large, I decided to point the services the security challenge references. I’m not going to give out either the URL or the test results, but I will say, that if you run a web server, you should also use these services and then secure whatever you can. Unless you have already run these or similar tests, or are obsessive about security, then you will have a list of things to do.

And once you see then, you can’t unsee them.
