Security vulnerability? Quite an overstatement for using port 22.

Changing the port does nothing to mitigate that.

Ya that's what I was saying. It's an overstatement to call using the default port a "security vulnerability."

JaredBusch

@stacksofplates gotcha

CloudKnight

changing port does not make any difference to security but I suppose if hackers are only scanning common ports it disguises it a little. I personally have no issue using port 22 with keys and strong password, also with root access disabled to ssh.

Alex Sage

@StuartJordan That's the way to go

I don't think any actual hackers limit to common ports.

Ya it takes like an extra 7 seconds to scan the rest (at least with nmap)

If you use something like Salt you can go to no ports open at all. Short of that, I stick to standard ports.

I've seen you say that before. Their documentation says you need 4505 and 4506 open.

Your aren't looking at the right thing. That's the server not the Minion.

Ah, you didn't specify above, just said Salt.

Similar to Ansible pull. Just need 80 or 443 open on the git server.

Your servers don't have ports open when you use Salt. We are talking ability the removal of SSH ports from your servers. All of your servers (aka minions) can be sans SSH ports. Of course they still need their service ports open like 80 or whatever. But SSH is not needed, no access ports are.

Ansible pull isn't the same. Salt leaves full, instant control in place.
