Debian-related Tinkering
I've been a fan of Debian for a number of years, using it
for my primary operating system since 2001. This is a collection
of tricks or customizations that may be useful for people,
but which don't belong in Debian mainstream.
-
fixing ugly fonts
- Some of the default font configuration is painful. How to fix it.
-
logcheck customizations
- A collection of filters for logcheck that make it less noisy. The out-of-the-box configuration gives too many alerts and lowers the signal/noise ratio.
-
ssh rate throttling
- A simple iptables script that simply rate-limits all incoming ssh (or any TCP) connections. Useful for dicouraging ssh brute-force attempts.
