The Ninth Commandment of system administration

27 Jun 2005:
“For every network service you run, you’ve opened one more window on your server
to the world. Firewalls are great for defending servers against attacks from the
outside, but attacks don’t always come from the outside. If you have a server
inside your firewall hacked, the attacker can continue hacking away at other
servers without worrying about the firewall stopping his progress. For this
reason it is important to schedule network audits of all of your servers.” Story
