rDNS

rDNS - Reverse DNS lookup (rDNS) is a process to determine the hostname or host associated with a given IP address or host address. (wikipedia).

Any want of you facing the problem, unable to lookup your rDNS for your DNS server?.I also got this problems with my rDNS lookup. After a few day seek for the solutions how to make sure the rDNS work properly, finally i found the solution. Any local/public IP from Telekom Malaysia (TM), must ask from their site to enable the rDNS.By default they not allowed the rDNS if we are not request it.To request it we can email : dnsteam@tm.net.my / dndadm@tmnet.com.y or lock report to iCOMS.After do want of this method, finally my rDNS work properly. So far their respond better.

Advanced SSH security tips and tricks

The SSH server configuration file is located in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf. You need to restart the SSH service after every change you make to that file in order for changes to take effect.

Change SSH listening port

By default, SSH listens for connections on port 22. Attackers use port scanner software to see whether hosts are running an SSH service. It's wise to change the SSH port to a number higher than 1024 because most port scanners (including nmap) by default don't scan high ports.

Open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and look for the line that says:

Port 22

Change the port number and restart the SSH service:

/etc/init.d/ssh restart
