Security is still a issue....

10 May 2025 Saturday

After about three failures of the web server I am slowly coming to the conclusion that perhaps I have been hacked. It could of course just be pure lack of competance on my part and a pure configuration/hardware issue. But it is strange that the web server has now just gone down and ceased working. I am of course looking at myself

Mt 7:5 “Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

However it could also be a hack. Even by a bot. My “security” such as it is, is minimal or non existent! So I guess it was inevitable that sooner of later I would attract a hack.

Whatever caused the failures I am now looking into security. And especially SSH and public and private keys.

So get the tutorials and books and start looking at ways to beef up with security. I am slowly beginning to understand SSH and public and private keys. But it is taking time. I may have to do a course. I am just having problems installing it on the raspberry pi. I have done what the tutorials/instructions seem to be saying and yet the thing aint connecting!! I dont know what I am doing wrong.

I am thinking about installing Ubuntu. And then using the Ubuntu to install the keys on the Pi. This way I know the keys will be right.

Of course.....but perhaps there is no “of course” about it, I need to use FAITH!!!

Here I am presented with(to me) a difficult problem and as yet no solution.
