HHVM is an open-source virtual machine designed for executing programs written in Hack and PHP. HHVM uses a just-in-time (JIT) compilation approach to achieve superior performance while maintaining the development flexibility that PHP provides.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitNgLJYg2iWU3g4-YgY8YJrBJP_X07_UM07SmfUOfOzuj7x0yFPnU2ys4F2kv5vwUjylPvxW6f2jTaipCANjL0IuNJfvOWhMTy7aG1chK8UuO33UG9EUFHavWdk2oLM6CI_4pbbctjG_kK/s1600/WikipediaHHVM650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitNgLJYg2iWU3g4-YgY8YJrBJP_X07_UM07SmfUOfOzuj7x0yFPnU2ys4F2kv5vwUjylPvxW6f2jTaipCANjL0IuNJfvOWhMTy7aG1chK8UuO33UG9EUFHavWdk2oLM6CI_4pbbctjG_kK/s1600/WikipediaHHVM650.jpg" /></a>

Login with the root and create a database for our WordPress installation. 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">sudo mysql -u root -p
create database testdb;
grant all privileges on testdb.* to wpdbuser@localhost identified by 'wp@123';
flush privileges;
quit
</pre>
Install and Configure HHVM: 
 
Let’s add HHVM repository to your system. 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0x5a16e7281be7a449 
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main"</pre>
Update the Ubuntu repositories and Install HHVM 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y hhvm
</pre>
Once the installation is complete, configure Apache web server to use HHVM. 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">sudo /usr/share/hhvm/install_fastcgi.sh</pre>
Run below command to start HHVM automatically on system boot up. 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">sudo update-rc.d hhvm defaults</pre>
Here, We’ll use HHVM as a PHP alternative. 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">sudo /usr/bin/update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/php php /usr/bin/hhvm 60</pre>
Now start HHVM service. 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">sudo systemctl start hhvm</pre>
Verify the php version. You should get the similar output like below. 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">$ php -v

System Requirements 
 
Make sure that you complete the following tasks before you start the installation process: 
 
1. Setup Hostname 
This hostname cannot be the same as any domain that is on your server (for example, if example.com is a domain on your server, use hostname.example.com as your fully qualified hostname). 
 
You can use the following command for hostname setup eg. srv1.hackthesec.co.in 
 
hostname srv1.example.com 
2. Setup Server IP addresses 
Define additional IP address, subnet address, and default gateway IP address for your server — your service provider can provide you with this information. 
 
3. Software Requirements 
You must have a clean/fresh installation of supported operating systems: 
CentOS 6, RedHat 6 or CloudLinux 6, MINIMAL installation and English version only! 
CentOS 7 is NOT supported. 
 
4. Hardware Requirements 
32 bit operating systems require a minimum of 512 MB RAM 
64 bit operating systems require a minimum of 1024 MB RAM (recommended) 
 
Recommended System: 4 GB+ RAM so you would have the full functionality such as Anti-virus scan of emails.

HOW TO INSTALL CWP 
 
 
Follow steps below to setup CentOS Web Panel on your server: 
 
Step 1 – Login to your server as root or as user with sudo privilege: 
 
Step 2 – Go to /usr/local/src directory and download CWP installer package there: 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 68, 68); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); color: white; font-family: "Courier 10 Pitch", Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; max-width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; padding: 18px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: normal;">cd /usr/local/src
wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-latest</pre>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCumkp8N-EKNmJ431ei3V3clDBLB5dOiXGEkVukFp8AuA1DkTgPzgkXZu0eo02G_UWvJW2IqvQxdpaWEB_WC9xIoE6NbIIA8-Zk4Vxi1o0pZrdbG3Y3W9hzsvhmTQ_7cyN-eodwOzKZax/s1600/cwp_download.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCumkp8N-EKNmJ431ei3V3clDBLB5dOiXGEkVukFp8AuA1DkTgPzgkXZu0eo02G_UWvJW2IqvQxdpaWEB_WC9xIoE6NbIIA8-Zk4Vxi1o0pZrdbG3Y3W9hzsvhmTQ_7cyN-eodwOzKZax/s1600/cwp_download.png" /></a></div>
 
Step 3 – Once downloaded, issue one simple command below to start the installer: 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 68, 68); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); color: white; font-family: "Courier 10 Pitch", Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px; max-width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; padding: 18px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: normal;">sh cwp-latest</pre>
The whole process is fully automatic. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSopw4SkzWe3Riuuzsz4sTRkinxzg3T2tQJHOss3rsWUG3oT5LWdHnoBx1yCMmgmt9eruHb3iFQ7nbCgv_j8iVsv1vTy0KbZfEg82frn6Rbs6sekewbh_4CQgOxRPaJRDr5LaIYF9p_-Ct/s1600/cwp-install-process.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSopw4SkzWe3Riuuzsz4sTRkinxzg3T2tQJHOss3rsWUG3oT5LWdHnoBx1yCMmgmt9eruHb3iFQ7nbCgv_j8iVsv1vTy0KbZfEg82frn6Rbs6sekewbh_4CQgOxRPaJRDr5LaIYF9p_-Ct/s1600/cwp-install-process.jpg" /></a></div>
The CWP installation progress will take some times because several software will be compiled from source (especially PHP) for improved performance, security and flexibility. In my case it is almost like installing WHM/cPanel.Once the process is done, you’ll see something like this: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkppCekvY8ZZ1HJ79of1ohnaCKjLCcLOlyg0DvBBYrku-jq5nDkiw2HerQBKt4yWKg3FsdeQfdVztT3_DhfQLcF1vgZlGQS1zTYyrgiFSWtkZl9RkUA_kTbH5IkuWpuJcCDuhTCcZiC-nA/s1600/cwp-installed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkppCekvY8ZZ1HJ79of1ohnaCKjLCcLOlyg0DvBBYrku-jq5nDkiw2HerQBKt4yWKg3FsdeQfdVztT3_DhfQLcF1vgZlGQS1zTYyrgiFSWtkZl9RkUA_kTbH5IkuWpuJcCDuhTCcZiC-nA/s1600/cwp-installed.jpg" /></a></div>
 
Step 4 – Now hit Enter on your keyboard and your server should reboot automatically. Next time you try to login to your server via SSH, the display will be different. You will now see CWP welcome message. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjasChe2omZRknNfe_J0yitTgF1TyuoL4Qu90yMEXGfUh1Sj76zAOeh9TKNBkibQymExrUNUXraoajGTKC6lMSqHnH_6UTiBzVrbXm3mAGZYBTfCisNy2p7vY6XgLZPHMSQHeYx69jOTiB5/s1600/cwp-ssh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjasChe2omZRknNfe_J0yitTgF1TyuoL4Qu90yMEXGfUh1Sj76zAOeh9TKNBkibQymExrUNUXraoajGTKC6lMSqHnH_6UTiBzVrbXm3mAGZYBTfCisNy2p7vY6XgLZPHMSQHeYx69jOTiB5/s1600/cwp-ssh.jpg" /></a></div>
Step 5 – Open up your favorite web browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc) and open your newly installed CWP admin GUI at one of these URLs: 
 
Log in to your CWP server using the link provided by the installer on your server 
CentOS WebPanel Admin GUI at http://SERVER-IP:2030/ 
Username: root 
Password: your root password 
 
- Setup nameservers 
- Setup shared ip (must be your public IP address) 
- Setup at least one hosting package (or edit default package) 
- Setup root email 
& now you are ready to host domains…

Install Kloxo-Mr on Linux 
Kloxo (formerly known as Lxadmin) is a free, opensource web hosting control panel for the <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/RHEL">Red Hat</a> and <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Centos">CentOS </a>Linux distributions. 
 
Kloxo allows the host administrators to run a combination of <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/lighttpd_web_server">lighttpd </a>or <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Apache">Apache</a> with djbdns or BIND, and provides a graphical interface to switch between these programs without losing data. Kloxo Enterprise can transparently move web/mail/dns from one server running Apache to another running lighttpd. It is also known as a good free alternative to cPanel hosting control panel.

Installing HAProxy For Load Blancing And Protecting Apache From DDos

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
HAProxy For Load Blancing And Protecting Apache 
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is particularly suited for very high traffic web sites and powers quite a number of the world's most visited ones. Over the years it has become the de-facto standard opensource load balancer, is now shipped with most mainstream Linux distributions, and is often deployed by default in cloud platforms.  
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgPa7Usd4c8YIVUD4JNC30RhJVlkhu9vYhOMa1pF6q2-pKyCbDfhAB_kSKelVuBM10VGpjA3DR0A3F7scFBYZUjAwEe-I1s3UE9n_3Ia-V7fFmwaF2ttWFsjAKi3lCEdkY0TPWvAFBx6L7/s1600/HAProxy-hackthesec.co.in.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgPa7Usd4c8YIVUD4JNC30RhJVlkhu9vYhOMa1pF6q2-pKyCbDfhAB_kSKelVuBM10VGpjA3DR0A3F7scFBYZUjAwEe-I1s3UE9n_3Ia-V7fFmwaF2ttWFsjAKi3lCEdkY0TPWvAFBx6L7/s1600/HAProxy-hackthesec.co.in.jpg" /></a></div>
 
Its mode of operation makes its integration into existing architectures very easy and riskless, while still offering the possibility not to expose fragile web servers to the net, such as below :

version 1.5 : the most featureful version, supports SSL, IPv6, keep-alive, DDoS protection, etc... 
version 1.4 : the most stable version for people who don't need SSL. Still provides client-side keep-alive 
 
version 1.3 : the old stable version for companies who cannot upgrade for internal policy reasons. <a href="http://www.haproxy.org/#desc" target="_blank">More Info Here</a>

<div>
In the above file replace 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.4 with your server ip address.</div>
Change your Apache port to 8181 as in configuration file we are using that server srv 0.0.0.0:8181 maxconn 254. 
In WHM goto Tweak Settings and find Apache non-SSL IP/port and change it to 8181. 
Restart apache 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">/etc/init.d/apache2 restart</pre>
Start haproxy 
<pre style="background: rgb(68, 67, 65); border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; clear: none !important; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; overflow: auto; padding: 10px !important; width: auto !important; word-break: break-all;">haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg</pre>
Now we have to check if its working. Go to your stats page to see 
serverip:8811 
 
 
Replace serverip with your server ip used in configuration file and you will see full result generated by haproxy

How to Protect Apache Server From Denial-of-Service (Dos) Attack

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Protecting Apache Server From Denial-of-Service (Dos) Attack 
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users, such as to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is where the attack source is more than one, often thousands of, unique IP addresses. It is analogous to a group of people crowding the entry door or gate to a shop or business, and not letting legitimate parties enter into the shop or business, disrupting normal operations.

Criminal perpetrators of DoS attacks often target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways; but motives of revenge, blackmail or activism can be behind other attacks. 
 
The scale of DDOS attacks has continued to rise over recent years; web security company, CloudFlare, reported in 2016 they consistently mitigated attacks of 400Gbps. 
What is mod_evasive? 
 
mod_evasive is an evasive maneuvers module for Apache to provide evasive action in the event of an HTTP DoS or DDoS attack or brute force attack. It is also designed to be a detection and network management tool, and can be easily configured to talk to ipchains, firewalls, routers, and etcetera. mod_evasive presently reports abuses via email and syslog facilities. 
Installing mod_evasive 
Server Distro: Debian 8 jessie 
Apache Version: Apache/2.4.10 
 
mod_evasive appears to be in the Debian official repository, we will need to install using apt 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"># apt-get update
# apt-get install libapache2-mod-evasive</pre>
Setting up mod_evasive 
 
We have mod_evasive installed but not configured, mod_evasive config is located at /etc/apache2/mods-available/evasive.conf. We will be editing that which should look similar to this 
<pre style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.42857; margin-bottom: 10px; overflow: auto; padding: 9.5px; word-break: break-all; word-wrap: break-word;"><IfModule mod_evasive20.c>
 #DOSHashTableSize 3097
 #DOSPageCount 2
 #DOSSiteCount 50
 #DOSPageInterval 1
 #DOSSiteInterval 1
 #DOSBlockingPeriod 10

#DOSEmailNotify you@yourdomain.com
 #DOSSystemCommand "su - someuser -c '/sbin/... %s ...'"
 #DOSLogDir "/var/log/mod_evasive"
 </IfModule></pre>
mod_evasive Configuration Directives 
 
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>DOSHashTableSize</li>
<li>DOSPageCount</li>
<li>DOSSiteCount</li>
<li>DOSPageInterval</li>
<li>DOSSiteInterval</li>
<li>DOSBlockingPeriod</li>
<li>DOSEmailNotify</li>
<li>DOSSystemCommand</li>
<li>DOSLogDir</li>
</ul>
 
 
This configuration is what I’m using which is working well and I recommend it if you don’t know how to go about the configuration 
<pre style="background-color: whitesmoke; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.42857; margin-bottom: 10px; overflow: auto; padding: 9.5px; word-break: break-all; word-wrap: break-word;"><IfModule mod_evasive20.c>
 DOSHashTableSize 2048
 DOSPageCount 5
 DOSSiteCount 100
 DOSPageInterval 1
 DOSSiteInterval 2
 DOSBlockingPeriod 10

DOSEmailNotify you@yourdomain.com
 #DOSSystemCommand "su - someuser -c '/sbin/... %s ...'"
 DOSLogDir "/var/log/mod_evasive"
</IfModule></pre>
As you’ll replace you@yourdomain.com with your email. Since mod_evasive doesn’t create the log directory automatically, we are to create it for it: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"># mkdir /var/log/mod_evasive
# chown :www-data /var/log/mod_evasive
# chmod 771 /var/log/mod_evasive</pre>
Once setup is done, make sure mod_evasive is enabled by typing: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"># a2enmod evasive</pre>
Restart Apache for changes to take effect 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"># systemctl restart apache2</pre>
Testing mod_evasive Setup 
 
mod_evasive set up correctly,  now we are going to test if our web server has protection again DoS attack using ab (Apache Benchmark). Install ab if you don’t have it by typing: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"># apt-get install apache2-utils</pre>
Current stat of our /var/log/mod_evasive 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">root@hackthesec:/var/log/mod_evasive# ls -l
 total 0
root@hackthesec:/var/log/mod_evasive#</pre>
We will now send bulk requests to the server, causing a DoS attack  by typing: 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"># ab -n 100 -c 10 http://serverip/</pre>
Sending 100 request on 10 concurrent requests per request, the current stat of my /var/log/mod_evasive directory is now 
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">root@hackthesec:/var/log/mod_evasive# ls -l
 total 4
 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 18 May 16 22:10 dos-10.42.0.1</pre>
Checking Apache access logs at /var/log/apache2/access.log we can see all connections from ApacheBench/2.3 were dropped to 403:
