Background: 15 years of experience in software and apparently spoiled because it was already set up correctly.
Been practicing doing my own servers, published a test site and 24 hours later, root was compromised.
Rolled back to the backup before I made it public and now I have a security checklist.
Well, if you actually do that, bully for you, that’s how that should be done if you have to expose services.
Everyone else there is probably DMZing their desktop from what I can tell.
