I might get a bit too stressed about standing up a server than I should, but this notion has always been in the back of my mind, prompting me to hurry the fuck up and secure everything before some bot detected I was remiss we in having this or that in place in the initial setup. So, it's like a sprint trying to get all security in place.
I don't share my servers with others like a lot you guys do, so it's a little simpler. Implementing host.allow and host.deny (ALL:ALL) does the trick. Over the course of 24 hours, I think, conservatively hundreds of bots visit.
