Hello,
A good way to protect your server agains some people is hidding software versions.
-----------//---------------//------------
Apache Webserver
httpd.conf
<IfModule mod_security.c>
...
SecServerSignature "SP NAME"
...
</IfModule>
...
ServerSignature On
-----------//---------------//------------

Dovecot
dovecot.conf
login_greeting = SP NAME SERVER
-----------//---------------//------------

Proftpd
proftpd.conf
...
<Global>
...
ServerIdent On "SP NAME SERVER"
(or)
ServerIdent Off
...
</Global>
-----------//---------------//------------

Bind
named.conf
...
options {
..
version "SP NAME";
}
...
-----------//---------------//------------

Exim
exim.conf
smtp_banner = SP NAME
...
-----------//---------------//------------
If you have any idea how to do this with other software please post it here.

Tks,

Thanks that's actually really good info.

Question though, what do you put in the SP Name part? Or do you just leave it SP Name?
 
I've used SP NAME but you can put anything you want like: ftpd v1, smtpd v1...


Regards,
