Securing SSH - wAlber47/Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

  • In order to Secure SSH, you must make a small change to a file in Linux.

    • Navigate to /etc/ssh, then run nano sshd_config.
    • From here, you will be in a text editor, look for the option 'Permit Root Login'. Once you find it set it to 'no'.
    • Once you save the file, run sudo service sshd restart. Try to log into root from ssh.
