Hello,
I have a vserver and I would like to constantly run a python script on it. It is a simple socket server application where multiple clients can connect to. The coding is not the problem.
My question is now how secure it is? And I do not mean if anyone can see the data. For this server I need to open a port in the firewall (to this python scripts server socket so to speak). Is it possible for a hacker to somehow break throuth the python script an use that open port to hack the vserver?
May be far fetched but I know enough about security to know that I know nothing if I am not an expert.
Thanks
