Edit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2:
#do not open ssh ports here
FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP=""
FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT=""
#add this rule
FW_SERVICES_ACCEPT_EXT="0.0.0.0/0,tcp,22,,hitcount=3,blockseconds=60,recentname=ssh"
#Restart firewall:
rcSuSEfirewall2 restart
Now attacker will just have three attempts to break in.
Sometimes you’ll find a download of a deb file that you cannot find in the repositories, or a suitable rpm file for your openSuse installation. If that’s the case you can attempt using alien.
1. su (type root password)
2. Install alien: zypper in alien
3. Run: alien -r packagename.deb –scripts
Thats the command to convert to rpm from deb, you should probably use –scripts because some packages need scripts that run and they need to be converted as well. So now you’re all done. Check to see if the application works. It may not work in all cases.
