nftables is the modern replacement for iptables, ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables, and it ships in the RHEL 8 kernel by default. It uses a single unified rule language, supports atomic rule set replacement, and performs better at scale due to its netlink-based architecture. While firewalld can use nftables as its backend, many system administrators prefer […]
Introduction How to Set Up a Python FastAPI Application on Debian 11 is a fundamental operation for any administrator maintaining a Debian 11 Bullseye server. Debian 11 Bullseye ships with the Linux 6.12 kernel, updated toolchains, and a fully refreshed package archive — meaning version numbers, configuration file paths, and some dependency chains differ from […]
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second layer of security to SSH logins by requiring both something you know (a password or private key) and something you have (a time-based one-time password generated by an authenticator app). On RHEL 8, the Google Authenticator PAM module is available through EPEL and integrates with OpenSSH via PAM and […]
Introduction How to Install Ruby on Rails on Debian 11 is a fundamental operation for any administrator maintaining a Debian 11 Bullseye server.

Lynis is a battle-tested open-source security auditing tool that scans your Linux system, identifies misconfigurations, and produces a prioritised list of hardening suggestions. On RHEL 8, it is available through the EPEL 8 repository and runs entirely from the command line without requiring a daemon or persistent service. After each scan, Lynis assigns a hardening […]

SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) is a mandatory access control (MAC) framework built into the Linux kernel and enabled by default on every RHEL 8 installation. Unlike discretionary access controls such as standard Unix permissions, SELinux enforces policy rules that confine processes to only the files, sockets, and capabilities they legitimately require, limiting the blast radius of […]
Introduction How to Install and Configure Maven on Debian 11 is a fundamental operation for any administrator maintaining a Debian 11 Bullseye server. Debian 11 Bullseye ships with the Linux 6.12 kernel, updated toolchains, and a fully refreshed package archive — meaning version numbers, configuration file paths, and some dependency chains differ from Debian 11.

ClamAV is an open-source antivirus engine widely used on Linux servers to scan for malware in email attachments, uploaded files, and shared storage directories. Although Linux malware is less common than its Windows counterpart, RHEL 8 servers often act as intermediaries that receive and redistribute files to mixed-OS environments, making antivirus scanning an important layer […]
OpenVPN is a mature, battle-tested VPN solution that uses TLS for control-channel encryption and supports both UDP and TCP transports, making it highly adaptable to restrictive network environments. On RHEL 8 it is available from the EPEL repository, and the Easy-RSA toolkit simplifies the PKI management needed to issue server and client certificates. This guide […]
