RED SCARF Suite components

by Double Bastion - Updated September 21, 2023

Below is the list with all the components of RED SCARF Suite. The 8 components developed and maintained by Double Bastion are marked with the Double Bastion logo. The other 38 components are developed and maintained by other companies who own their names and logos. (You can find more about these companies by following the links to their official websites or Wikipedia pages, on the ‘info’ note of each application.)

The version of each application is very important, since not all versions function well together. When a new version of an application is released, we install and test it, to check if it functions well within the suite, if there are any conflicts, bugs, etc. Therefore, before you upgrade any component to a new version, it’s recommended to check if that version has been verified to function well within the suite and included on this list.

If you want to be informed when it’s safe to upgrade RED SCARF Suite components and when the instructions in the ‘Complete Guide to a Complete Linux Server’ get updated, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

11Debian 12 (bookworm) | Kernel: 6.1.0-10-amd64Debian is a Linux distribution consisting entirely of free software. Debian is recommended by its performance, stability, wealth of software packages, well-thought package management system and developer community dedicated to the free software philosophy. The real reason for its high quality, which made it the most popular operating system for servers, is the ethical standards that underpin its development, outlined in the famous Debian Social Contract, whose text can be read here. This is because ethical principles are always coupled with strong motivation and honest and sustained effort to improve the software, which in their turn lead to high technical finesse.

22Nginx 1.22.1Nginx is a free and open source web server that can also act as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache server. Nginx uses an asynchronous event-driven approach to handling requests, rather than threads, like Apache. Nginx is by far better than Apache, mainly because it can handle a much larger number of concurent HTTP requests and because it uses dramatically less RAM memory. Nginx was built with the explicit goal of outperforming Apache and it does it overwhelmingly.

44PHP8.2.7PHP is a general-purpose programming language specifically suited for server-side web development. It's the most popular scripting language for web development because it's highly effective, easy to use, the code is easy to debug and maintain, it's highly compatible with many relational database management systems and the documentation is impressive. The real reason for its quality and unmatched success is the way it was born: it developed organically, out of practical necessities, by the incremental contributions of some outstanding minds with an in-depth understanding of real life programming. The remarkable speed improvements achieved with PHP 7 reaffirmed the tremendous future potential of PHP.

1111Postgrey 1.36Postgrey is a Postfix policy server that implements greylisting. When Postfix receives a mail delivery request from a sender that it does't recognize, the email will be rejected with a temporary error. If the email is legitimate, the sending server will try again after a few minutes, as is required by the SMTP specification, and if sufficient time has passed, the email will be accepted. Spam filtering tools and antivirus applications are intensive users of memory and CPU, so, stopping spam before it enters any filtering processes is an efficient way of reducing spam while sparing the server's hardware resources.

1919WPS Hide Login1.8.5WPS Hide Login is a lightweight WordPress plugin that allows the site administrator to change the default login page name (wp-login.php) to any custom name. Changing the default login URL has been proved very effective in fighting against brute force attacks. Before beginning to try various passwords to fraudulently log in to one's admin area, an attacker has to first find the login URL, which is not trivial. If the administrator of the WordPress website also disabled logging in with email address (by installing the plugin 'No Login by Email Address'), the email address being easy to find by an attacker by looking at the contact page, etc., and the administrator also took the precaution to use a username difficult to guess (different from admin, administrator, webmaster, etc.), then any attacker trying to log in, will have three obstacles ahead: the first is to find the login URL, the second is to find the username and the third is to find the password.

4242OpenVPN 2.4.7OpenVPN implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques to create secure, encrypted network connections. It can be used in multiple scenarios, such as to encrypt Internet traffic to/from users connected through untrusted public access networks or to create encrypted connections over the Internet between private networks with different locations. It uses OpensSSL and TLS for key exchange. It can easily traverse NATs and firewalls. User authentication can be done by pre-shared secret keys, certificates or username and password. The OpenSSL library is used to encrypt both the data and the control channels. An additional layer of security can be added to the connection by using HMAC packet authentication. When a user wants to access the Internet from an untrusted public access network such as the Wi-Fi access point of a hotel, using a VPN is a must. OpenVPN allows installing a VPN server on one's own VPS or dedicated server, thus bringing real control, privacy and security to such connections.

The program can also be configured to automatically send the abuse report email to the entity that owns the offending IPs that were banned more than once.
