I am running a small Linode Server (Ubuntu), serving 4-5 wordpress and static websites. The linode has recently been flagged as being used for bruteforce attacks. I am fairly confident that the server set up has been correct i-e ssh auth keys, no root password etc etc. However as it still got hacked, would like an expert audit as in what happened, how to fix and how to mitigate it for the future. If done nicely, would love to offer monthly payment to provide managed services.

Hello there, The issue most probably is with your wordpress websites which have been hacked (old wordpress version, plugins/themes which were not updated recently or un-secured wordpress website). In these situation the problem is not the server itself but the websites hosted on that server. I can look into your wordpress websites and try to identify the compromised files in your wordpress websites. Clean them, update everything and fix the security problems with your wordpress websites. I suppose you have root access to your server since it would be easier this way. If you have questions please contact me. Regards, Bogdan

I'm a linux systems administrator with 20 years experience and a qualified penetration tester. I have experience in forensic analysis and recovery of compromised Wordpress servers. There's every chance that your server has been set up well but one of the Wordpress systems was compromised and used to launch the bruteforce attacks. I will provide feedback on your current configuration, any evidence of the method of the compromise, and advice on configuration changes required to your server and Wordpress systems to mitigate future attacks.
