It takes constant vigilance, but there are things you can do to give yourself the best chance of avoiding a hack. The consequences of an exposed port that you've forgotten or never knew about can be dire. What's more, while IPtables is a fantastic bit of kit, it's not always obvious what's on the list of ports that are open and when that list changes.

Most of the time, it's because someone, somewhere is trying to goad a machine into misbehaving.

On every Devopera build, we include an array of tools that make that job a little easier.

doapache handles most of the details, but it relies on Puppet Labs' apache module. The module was locating the HTTPD pidfile in /var/run/httpd.pid, but it didn't update the /etc/init.d/httpd start/stop script. That means that Apache could start properly, but not stop, because it couldn't find the newly created pidfile.

Frequently Devopera clients need the servers we support to pass pre-emptive PCI scans from the likes of McAfee and Comodo / HackerGuardian, which necessitates patching a few daemons, such as Apache HTTPD. This week I had to install Apache HTTPD 2.2.29 (current at the time of writing) on Cent OS 6.
