Lsyncd is an rsync-based tool that monitors specified directories (including subdirectories) for updates and modifications, then syncs those changes to a specified destination.

Pre-Flight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for installing VIM (Visual editor IMproved or Vi IMproved), an open-source text editor, on Fedora 23.
• We’ll be working as root on a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 23 server. If you need to install vim on Fedora 22, visit this tutorial.
• If you’ve received the error “-bash: vim: command not found” while following any of our other tutorials, following the instructions below will resolve it.

Step #1: The Installation

As a matter of best practice we’ll update our packages:

Overview

On January 18, 2016, cPanel announced that it had discovered vulnerabilities affecting all current versions of its control panel software. At the time of the announcement, cPanel issued a Targeted Security Release for each software tier, which the company said addresses 20 vulnerabilities in cPanel and WHM.

Git is an open-source version control system used for source code management.

The Server Name Indication protocol (SNI) allows a web server such as Apache to determine the domain name for which a particular secure incoming connection is intended outside of the page request itself.

Overview

A flaw in OpenSSH, discovered and reported by Qualys on Jan. 14, 2016, could potentially allow an information leak (CVE-2016-0777) or buffer overflow (CVE-2016-0778) via the OpenSSH client. Specifically, an undocumented feature called roaming, introduced in OpenSSH version 5.4, can be exploited to expose a client’s private SSH key.

Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are common threats that every publicly accessible web server faces. The purpose of such attacks, in the simplest terms, is to flood a server with connections, overloading it and preventing from accepting legitimate traffic.

In addition to being able to manage traffic from a specific country or a list of countries, CSF allows you to manage access by country to specific ports. This can be useful if you need to ensure that a particular service is available globally (such as your web server on port 80) but want to restrict international access to services such as WHM/cPanel, SSH, or FTP.

One of the most-requested features on cPanel servers is the ability to manage and filter traffic at a country level. With the ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) plugin in WebHost Manager, you can do exactly that.
