My current project is a home-based file server to help more better understand Cybersecurity. What's your 2 cent?

I'm currently using Amahi on Fedora Server. I've heard Samba is a preference.

The best way to understand cybersecurity is to change your mindset from single layer protection to multi-layer protection with "implicit deny" hardening. Having a single layer of protection is foolish and is not used in the real world of enterprise computing.

SGT (Join to see) - Set up ACL's and MAC address permissions...especially if you're using any wireless in your home network.

I would also close every TCP/IP port in the stack except the ones you absolutely need at the hardware firewall and any software firewall you have on your server. a good tool to check what applications are communicating on what ports is wireshark. If your hardware firewall has content scanning turn that on as well. Get a quality intrusion detection/prevention tool for the server itself. Set application level policy and don't ever let anyone use a web browser on the server to surf the web. The SANS institute is a good resource for more info on cybersecurity as a whole.

I'd be interested in your experience with Amahi and its functionality. I've never used it but thought about it before. I could make good use of cloud based file server. Just need to find some free time...

I'll try to remember to update the forum once I've built some competency within it. It's already getting interesting. I'm not a big Fedora user.

First improvement should be removing "more better" from the title. I think just "better" will suffice :P
