如何监控您的 VPS 登录尝试和文件更改

当您管理自己的 VPS 时,安全不仅仅是设置强密码或使用 SSH 密钥,更重要的是实时监控登录行为和文件变更

如果有人尝试暴力破解登录,或修改了系统文件,您需要第一时间得知,并及时采取措施。本文将介绍几种常用的工具和方法,帮助您全天候守护 VPS 安全。


🔍 为什么需要监控?

网络攻击往往悄无声息。黑客通常会:

  • 多次尝试猜测密码(暴力破解)
  • 修改系统文件、配置或植入木马
  • 在网站目录中注入恶意代码
  • 利用 rootkit 隐藏入侵行为

通过监控登录尝试和文件变动,您可以及时发现异常并采取措施,避免更大损失。


🛡️ 使用 Fail2Ban 监控登录尝试

Fail2Ban 会监控登录日志(如 /var/log/auth.log),当检测到多次失败尝试后,会自动封禁对应 IP。

安装命令:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install fail2ban -y

基本配置文件:

/etc/fail2ban/jail.local

示例配置(SSH 登录防护):

[sshd]
enabled = true
port = ssh
filter = sshd
logpath = /var/log/auth.log
maxretry = 3

Fail2Ban 会结合防火墙规则自动封锁恶意 IP。


🗂️ 使用 AIDE 监控文件变更

AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) 是一款强大的文件完整性监控工具。

安装命令:

sudo apt install aide -y

初始化数据库:

sudo aideinit
sudo cp /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new /var/lib/aide/aide.db

检查文件状态:

sudo aide --check

可结合 cron 定时任务进行每日自动检查,并通过邮件发送报告。


🔁 使用 inotify-tools 实时监控目录

如果您想实时监控网站目录(如 /var/www/html),推荐使用 inotify-tools

安装命令:

sudo apt install inotify-tools -y

实时监控命令:

inotifywait -m -r /var/www/html

适用于开发者和网站管理员快速响应文件变更。


✉️ 邮件提醒(可选)

结合 mail 命令或自建监控平台(如 Zabbix、Prometheus)可实现自动邮件通知,一旦发现可疑行为立即提醒您。


🧠 安全建议

  • 使用 SSH 密钥登录 VPS
  • 禁用 root 用户远程登录
  • 修改默认 SSH 端口(如 22 改为 2222)
  • 每日查看登录日志
  • 定期备份和保留审计记录

💡 Hosteons VPS 全面支持上述工具

无论您使用的是:

🚀 Instantly Secure and Set Up Your VPS with Hosteon’s Initial VPS Setup Script

Managing a new VPS can be overwhelming, especially when starting with a fresh Linux installation. That’s why we at Hosteons created a smart, interactive script to help new VPS users quickly set up their server with best practices in place—regardless of whether you’re using Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, CentOS, or Rocky Linux.


🎯 What This Script Does

Our open-source script, initial_vps_setup.sh, automates essential initial tasks, including:

  • 🔐 Creating a new sudo user
  • 📛 Checking if the user already exists and giving the option to update sudo access
  • 🧰 Installing basic tools (curl, wget, git, htop, unzip, etc.)
  • 🧱 Enabling firewall with UFW or firewalld based on your distro
  • 🔐 Optionally generating a secure SSH key pair (displays private + public key for user)
  • 🚫 Option to disable root SSH login
  • ✅ Sets correct permissions and groups

🛠️ Compatible with All Major Linux Distributions

Tested and supported on:

  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • AlmaLinux
  • CentOS
  • Rocky Linux

The script auto-detects your OS and executes distro-specific commands where needed.


📜 Easy to Use

Just log in as root on your new VPS and run:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hosteons/Initial-VPS-Setup-Script-for-Linux/main/initial_vps_setup.sh | bash

You’ll be guided through a few interactive prompts—no manual file editing required.


💻 Example Output and Access Instructions

After setup, you’ll get:

  • Username and SSH access instructions
  • SSH key (if generated)
  • Sample sudo usage instructions like:
sudo apt update
sudo systemctl restart nginx

🔐 Why It Matters

  • Security First: Disabling root login and using SSH keys makes brute-force attacks significantly harder.
  • Consistency: Every VPS is provisioned the same way—ideal for sysadmins managing multiple servers.
  • Time-Saving: No need to copy-paste multiple commands or look up tutorials.

❤️ Built and Maintained by Hosteons

🔐 Automatically Install Fail2Ban with Smart Jail Detection on Your VPS (Script by Hosteons)

Here’s a complete WordPress blog post draft to promote your Fail2Ban Auto-Installer script from GitHub:


🔐 Automatically Install Fail2Ban with Smart Jail Detection on Your VPS (Script by Hosteons)

At Hosteons, we’re committed to making server security easier for everyone. Whether you’re running a small VPS or managing a fleet of Linux servers, protecting against brute-force attacks is critical.

That’s why we’ve created a Fail2Ban Auto-Installer Script that not only installs Fail2Ban but also auto-detects and enables jails for common services like SSHApache, and Nginx — all in one click.

👉 GitHub Repository:

https://github.com/hosteons/Fail2Ban-Auto-Installer-With-Jail


✅ Key Features

  • Installs Fail2Ban on UbuntuDebianAlmaLinux, and CentOS
  • Detects installed services (e.g., sshd, nginx, apache) and enables jails accordingly
  • Skips jails for services not found on the system
  • Handles log file paths intelligently based on distro
  • Verifies and restarts Fail2Ban only if configuration is valid
  • Smart checks if Fail2Ban is already installed
  • Minimal and safe — logs errors clearly

🧠 How It Works

When you run the script:

  1. It detects your Linux OS flavor.
  2. Installs Fail2Ban (if not already installed).
  3. Checks if apache, nginx, or sshd is active.
  4. Adds only the appropriate jails with correct log paths.
  5. Restarts Fail2Ban and confirms its status.
  6. Provides clear output so you know it’s working.

This ensures Fail2Ban doesn’t fail due to missing log files or services — a common issue in manual configurations.


📥 How to Use

  1. Download the script:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hosteons/Fail2Ban-Auto-Installer-With-Jail/main/fail2ban_auto_installer.sh
chmod +x fail2ban_auto_installer.sh
./fail2ban_auto_installer.sh
  1. That’s it. The script handles the rest!

🔐 Easily Change Your Windows RDP Port with a One-Click Script

One-Click Windows RDP Port Changer Script 🖥️

Managing a Windows VPS often requires securing RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) access. One of the most effective and simplest ways to harden your Windows Server is to change the default RDP port (3389). But doing it manually via the registry and firewall can be tedious and risky.

That’s why we at Hosteons created an open-source, one-click PowerShell script that simplifies the process.

👉 GitHub RepoWindows RDP Port Changer Script


✅ Features

  • Changes RDP Port via Windows Registry
  • Updates Windows Firewall to allow the new port
  • Enables RDP if it’s currently disabled
  • Fully open-source and free under the MIT License
  • Supports Windows Server 2012/2016/2019/2022

📦 How to Use

  1. Login to your Windows VPS as Administrator.
  2. Open PowerShell.
  3. Run the script directly:
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hosteons/Windows-RDP-Port-Changer-Script/main/rdp_port_changer.ps1 | iex
  1. Enter your desired RDP port when prompted.

⚠️ Important: Make sure your port is not blocked by external firewalls (such as cloud provider rules). Also, ensure you have console/VNC access in case the new port is misconfigured.


🤖 Automation Friendly

This script can be integrated into automation flows for server provisioning or batch management. Perfect for sysadmins managing multiple Windows VPS instances.


🔐 Why Change Your RDP Port?

  • Reduces brute-force attacks from bots scanning port 3389
  • Hides your RDP service from default port scanners
  • Adds an extra layer of obscurity in your defense
