Amazing video and tutorial, superb video and information, waiting for lots of videos on all kinds of technical troubleshooting and practical real world scenarios for VMWARE, thanks a lot
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I definitely planning to create more content covering a wide range of technical troubleshooting and practical real-world scenarios for VMware. Stay tuned for more helpful videos, and thanks again for your support!
sure, will do that. Thanks. OS hardening involves securing an operating system by reducing its attack surface and mitigating potential vulnerabilities. Here are general steps and best practices for hardening an OS: 1. Update and Patch Management: - Regularly update the OS and all installed software. - Apply security patches as soon as they are released. 2. User Account Management: - Limit administrative privileges: Only assign admin rights to users who absolutely need them. - Enforce strong passwords: Use complex passwords and change them regularly. - Disable unused accounts: Remove or disable default and unused accounts. - Implement account lockout policies: Prevent brute force attacks by locking accounts after a certain number of failed login attempts. 3. Service and Application Management: - Disable unnecessary services: Turn off services that are not needed. - Minimize installed software: Only install software that is necessary for the system's function. 4. Network Configuration: - Firewalls: Enable and configure the system firewall to block unnecessary ports and services. - SSH Configuration: Disable root login over SSH and use key-based authentication instead of passwords. - Network Time Protocol (NTP): Use NTP to synchronize system clocks securely. 5. File and Directory Permissions: - Set appropriate permissions: Ensure that files and directories have the correct permissions to restrict access. - Use Access Control Lists (ACLs): Further define permissions for specific users or groups. 6. Security Policies and Auditing: - Security policies: Define and enforce security policies for users and systems. - Auditing and logging: Enable logging of critical system events and regularly review logs for suspicious activity. 7. Kernel and OS Configuration: - Kernel parameters: Configure kernel parameters to enhance security (e.g., disable IP forwarding, enable SYN cookies). - OS settings: Harden OS-specific settings, such as disabling USB ports if not needed, configuring bootloader passwords, and more. 8. Data Encryption: - Encrypt sensitive data: Use file and disk encryption to protect sensitive data. - Secure communications: Use protocols like TLS/SSL to encrypt network communications. 9. Intrusion Detection and Prevention: - Install IDS/IPS: Use Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to detect and prevent malicious activities. 10. Backup and Recovery: - Regular backups: Perform regular backups of critical data and system configurations. - Test recovery procedures: Ensure that you can restore data from backups in case of a security incident. 11. Specific OS Hardening Guides: For Linux: - Disable unused network protocols: Edit `/etc/modprobe.d/` to blacklist protocols. - Secure boot settings: Modify GRUB settings to prevent unauthorized boot modifications. - SELinux or AppArmor: Use SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) or AppArmor for mandatory access control. - Auditd: Configure the audit daemon to log security-related events. For Windows: - Group Policies: Use Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to enforce security settings across the domain. - BitLocker: Use BitLocker to encrypt drives. - Windows Defender: Ensure Windows Defender or another antivirus software is enabled and updated. - Local Security Policies: Configure local security policies to enhance security (e.g., password policies, user rights assignment). Example of OS Hardening for Linux: 1. Update System: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y 2. Set Strong Password Policies: Edit `/etc/login.defs` and `/etc/pam.d/common-password` to enforce strong password policies. 3. Disable Root SSH Login: Edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`: plaintext PermitRootLogin no Restart SSH service: sudo systemctl restart ssh 4. Enable Firewall: sudo ufw enable sudo ufw allow ssh sudo ufw allow http sudo ufw allow https sudo ufw deny 23 5. Install and Configure Fail2Ban: sudo apt-get install fail2ban Create a local configuration file: sudo cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local Configure as needed and start the service: sudo systemctl start fail2ban sudo systemctl enable fail2ban By following these steps, you can significantly enhance the security posture of your operating system.
Sure Sir, Will do it. For a comprehensive understanding of VMware vSphere concepts, refer to our video series from 1 to 42. ruclips.net/p/PLjsBan7CwUQAFA9m2dYEL2FmeRdRiyWBD
Well content,very effective slides,speed is good maintain the tone from start to end, very humble voice.you elaborated very effectively.Thank you so much!!!i am hoping and waiting more videos from you.can you share some knowledge on AWS, docker, kubernetes and jenkins please???
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! I'll definitely consider your suggestions for future videos. AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins are all fantastic topics, and I'll make sure to include them in upcoming content. Stay tuned for more videos!
From ISO: This would mean the OS was installed from a disk image, usually from a virtual DVD/USB drive. This method is often used for fresh installations, particularly in isolated environments or when custom OS versions are required.

Did you install OS from iso or network?
From ISO: This would mean the OS was installed from a disk image, usually from a virtual DVD/USB drive.
This method is often used for fresh installations, particularly in isolated environments or when custom OS versions are required.
