 Hi, my name is Akash Mahajan and I'll be speaking at Root Conf 2012 on Securing a Linux web server in 10 steps or less Now the idea of the talk is that sometimes people think security is inaccessible security is difficult to do and They're not really aware. You know what goes on in making sure that the server they're using to serve their web application or or their mashup is you know needs to be secured in some Places this is called infrastructure security But the point I'm gonna make and the idea that I'm gonna you know plant in your head is that this can this can be done in some several easy steps and without too much of you know the unknown and and Just following a nice methodical structure. So what I'll be covering is I'll definitely be talking about a Linux server a web server running on Linux most likely Apache and the kind of server that I'm looking at is AWS or a virtual private server where you have root, you know It's I'm not gonna talk about something like good idea post-kater. Well, you just get a shared space and a non-privileged user account This talk will not be about application security I will not be talking about the last top 10 or you know If what if your application is not secure because that's the next step because there's a root conf the sources admins The idea is to you know stick with the server part of it The this will definitely be about files permissions and you know how you structure an application and How a sys admin or someone who's doing system administration on the server is able to figure out if a particular way of Setting permissions is secure or not The talk will be easy to follow and at the end you can use it like a checklist It may not cover everything, but it will definitely give you a head start in having a checklist of things to check for and You know because it's a checklist. So there's a structured approach and I will spend some time Discussing why you take a certain approach because the idea is not to learn about the tools or Something else for the structure, but I'll be showing actual commands. So if you get a laptop, you have an Ubuntu VM You know running you can try these things if you have good access and I'll definitely be covering a lot of internet memes So come attend my talk. Thank you. Bye
