Deployment Security

File Permissions

All configuration files include deployment commands with appropriate permissions:

# Service files
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/*.service

# Scripts  
sudo chmod +x /opt/honeypot/response.sh

# Config files
sudo chmod 644 /etc/nginx/sites-available/*
sudo chmod 600 ~/.config/copyparty/copyparty.conf

Service Security

# Enable services securely
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now servicename.service

# Verify service status
sudo systemctl status servicename.service

Security Validation

Configuration Testing

# Test nginx configuration
sudo nginx -t

# Verify SSH configuration
sudo sshd -t

# Check systemd service syntax
sudo systemd-analyze verify /etc/systemd/system/servicename.service

Security Scanning

# Check listening ports
ss -tlnp

# Verify service users and permissions  
sudo systemctl show servicename.service

# Check file permissions
find config/ -type f -ls

Security Updates

Regular Maintenance

  1. Weekly: Review honeypot logs, update fail2ban rules
  2. Monthly: Update service configurations, security patches
  3. Quarterly: Full security audit, penetration testing
  4. Annually: Certificate renewal, security policy review

Configuration Backup

All configurations are version-controlled in git:

# Backup current configs
git add config/ docs/
git commit -m "Update security configurations"

# Restore from backup
git checkout HEAD -- config/

Security Contacts and Escalation

Log Locations

  • Security Incidents: /var/log/security.log
  • Authentication: /var/log/auth.log
  • Honeypot: /var/log/honeypot.log
  • Service Logs: journalctl -u servicename.service

Incident Response

  1. Immediate containment (block IPs, disable services)
  2. Evidence preservation (copy logs, take snapshots)
  3. Impact assessment (check for compromise)
  4. Recovery procedures (restore from known-good configs)
  5. Post-incident review (update procedures and configurations)

Compliance and Standards

Security Frameworks

  • Network Security: Defense in depth with multiple layers
  • Access Control: Principle of least privilege
  • Monitoring: Comprehensive logging and alerting
  • Incident Response: Documented procedures and escalation

Audit Trail

  • All configuration changes tracked in git
  • Service modifications logged via systemd
  • Security events captured in dedicated log files
  • Regular security reviews documented in commit messages
