Lab04 Securing SSH - nicholaslamon/SYS255 GitHub Wiki

This lab was about securing the remote ssh connection to the DHCP server. This was done by accessing the ssh config file by using the command vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config and then using vi commands to rewrite a line.

The line in question is PermitRootLogin which by default is left on "yes". Once that is changed to "no" and saved, the DHCP server will deny anyone logging into the computer via ssh to directly log in to the root level.
