Linux/FreeBSD server tuning and security
Do you have "root" access to your own webserver but barely know what to
do with it? Is your website running too slowly, or not
behaving exactly as you'd like? If you have an online presence, then it is
important to take the time to consider how technical issues could affect
your business. Runaway processes,
unnecessary services, or an out of date system can impact the security
and performance of your servers. If you've ever had
to experience the frustration of your website going offline, having
your disks fill up unexpectedly, or worse, being victimised by a
malicious hacker, then you already know how technical issues can affect
your business. If you haven't, then count yourself lucky, but now is the
time to take steps to avoid having these problems sneak up on you.
2 Byte Consulting can help. Our expertise in the security, stability, and
performance tuning of unix based systems (such as Linux and FreeBSD) means
that you can focus on doing your business, and let us take care of the
technical issues involved with making sure your servers stay healthy and secure.
Whether it's a one-time peek into the state of your server, or an
ongoing plan to keep your system running swiftly and safely, our line
of consulting services can help keep the technical side of your business
on track.
Basic Sanity & Security Check
This service is designed to be a quick and affordable way for you to
gain some peace of mind regarding how your server is performing in terms
of:
- CPU and RAM utilisation (Do you have enough horsepower and memory for
your needs?)
- Running processes (What is running on your server and why?)
- Signs of abuse (Are there any signs of a break-in or misuse?)

estimate.
Complete server tune-up
If your server is lacking regular maintenance, there is a good chance
that it is no longer secure or that it is not performing as well as it
should. An unmaintained server can easily become a jump point for hackers, or
fail unexpectedly due to disks filling up or exceeding the performance capabilities
of the system.
Let the experts at 2 Byte Consulting ensure that your system stays
up to date on security patches and that it is running in tip-top shape.
A complete server tune-up will assess and correct:
- Unnecessary running processes
- Unused or insecure services
- Insufficient or incorrect firewall settings
- Unnecessary setuid(?) binaries
- Incorrect file and directory permissions
- Inadequate log file creation and archiving
- Unemptied temporary file space
- Unpatched security vulnerabilities
- Improper device driver usage
This service can be delivered either one-time, or on a continual basis.
