Hello,
Is the following configuration sufficient for SSH?
Code:
Port Number
ListenAddress IP
PermitRootLogin no
StrictModes yes
MaxAuthTries 3
MaxSessions 2
IgnoreRhosts yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
KbdInteractiveAuthentication no
AllowTcpForwarding no
GatewayPorts no
X11Forwarding no
PrintMotd no
PermitUserEnvironment no
Compression delayed
Protocol 2
UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
Changing the port number won't make much of a difference. However, turning off password authentication by setting "PasswordAuthentication no" in the configuration. Make sure that you can log in with either SSH keys or SSH certificates first though.
If you are really pushing the limits, then you might trim away shorter moduli.

It's a very short AWK script and is shorthand for if the fifth column is greater than or equal to 3071 the print out the whole line. See: https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html

Only if it is clear to you what each of the new settings do and what the effects will be. Study each one in 'man sshd_config'
You won't be able to protect your system (anything) if you don't understand what you're doing. You should check all advice, you never know which is reliable and which is not.
It is not against any LQ member or poster, just in general [not on LQ]. If you are not sure, the result is likely to be unpredictable.
