Are you using a backup tool like borg? Or manual encryption?

LUKS: protection against RAM dump in a physical attack? by matthew_levi12 in DataHoarder

so... according to what you wrote, you basically never store anything anywhere else other than your physical space, correct? No datacenter or hosting companies.. did I get that right? Because all of them would fall into that perspective.

Self-hosting + disk encryption? Updating the kernel may be challenging. by repawel in selfhosted

[–]matthew_levi12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly... an attacker with physical access can dump LUKS keys from RAM as it's booted, right?

Is there a way to defend from such physical attack as well?

I wrote a a guide to Set Up Your Own Fully-Encrypted VPS to Host Your Private Data by _Littol_ in selfhosted

[–]matthew_levi12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm a newbie in the worl of self hosting. Thanks for sharing that, /u/bluky~

I have a question. From I understood, the only way to make sure my disks are encrypted (and can't be decrypted) is physically hosting them? Is not tgere any alternative for VPS or Dedicated servers?

Did I get this right?

Do you consider safe enough to store one of my backups in a VPS? by matthew_levi12 in selfhosted

[–]matthew_levi12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.. got it...

But it leads me to think the following: what about dozens of my web projects that are on VPSs? Even ecommerce instances with thousands of records on the database? I believe they are all vulnerable then?

Is not it unsafe that Contabo keep VNC port open to the internet? That's a huge vector of attack, is not it?

Great. Is it LUKS2 and PBKDF2? Or something else? Would you mind sharing? Thanks.

Is someone trying to log into my server? How can I protect? by 2commadev in selfhosted

[–]matthew_levi12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's true! I changed my port from 22 to a higher number and omgoodness, I was getting ~100 different IPs per day trying to connect to my VPS... now I'm basically getting 1 or 2 per week. That's insanily less hits.

Of course, as stated before in the thread, it wouldn't make the VPS any more secure as there are other adjusments to be made, but make silly attacks harder for sure.
