Secure, Safe, Fast Linux Hosting

I know that Secure, Safe, Fast Linux Hosting sound silly as nothing can be fast and secure at the same time, but I've compiled a list of things that are worth doing if you are maintaining your own server. This list is clearly targeted for people running an open source stack made of Apache, MySQL, PHP and Linux.

This list is an ongoing work, thta is why it has also a version number in it (v1.0). As soon as I will learn new tricks, the list will be updated.

By clicking read more, You'll be able to go through the checklist, or maybe you'll prefer the mindmap version HERE

Make your Linux server safer: remove SUID/SGID root settings from binaries

First let's refresh some definitions...
set user ID (SUID)

The SUID permission causes a script to run as the user who is the owner of the script, rather than the user who started it. It is normally considered extremely bad practice to run a program in this way as it can pose many security problems.

set group ID (SGID)

The SGID permission causes a script to run with its group set to the group of the script, rather than the group of the user who started it. It is normally considered extremely bad practice to run a program in this way as it can pose many security problems.

Latest versions of the Linux kernel will even prohibit the running of shell scripts that have SGID/SUID attribute set.
