I'm planning to switch for ever to linux - archlinux:



I implemented nft firewall to block all input comming to the box, no port expose, no daemon listening on a port.



further I'm considering to use linux-harden kernel instead of linux one, but really don't like this idea because I want to know what patches need to apply for my system, this also bad idea because it can burden my daily use and reduce productivity.



I'm thinking about something that check integrity of the box in real time - like antivirus on windows but don't know what to use here? Do you have suggestions?



I also need something to regularly scan and check vulnerabilities on the box so I can close it asap.



Is there any that you can suggest to harden my further box?



Thanks in advanced. Hope this is in the right forum.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
