A fresh VPS is not a secure VPS.
Provisioned a fresh VPS yesterday, and before deploying any applications, I started hardening the server.
Within hours, the SSH logs were already showing automated brute-force attempts:
Invalid user admin from 195.178.110.227
So before deploying applications, or databases, I hardened the server by:
- Creating a dedicated non-root user with sudo privileges
- Disabling direct root SSH login
- Disabling SSH password authentication
- Cleaning up unnecessary SSH configuration
- Configuring firewall rules
- Adding brute-force protection
- Validating and reloading the SSH service
- Monitoring SSH logs for suspicious authentication attempts
And this happened within hours of the VPS getting a public IP.
Bots are constantly scanning the internet for exposed servers.
This is a good reminder that security comes before deployment.
the best way to learn backend is from first principles.

some of us just prefer reading, understanding the fundamentals, and going deep.
