hacked - looking for doc/suggestions on hardening/securing systems from the start

[NoSpaze]

Common rootkits that exploit weaknesses of old systems. I'd say it's
enough to keep updated systems. If want some more hardening, close
opened ports, use a firewall or iptables, create a DMZ, use strong
passwords, disable unneeded services.

Re included the list. There are people who reads the threads. Sorry for
the top-posting, I started :(

Merry christmas.
