Hey everyone — Derek here, maker of LTH Shield. I kept seeing the same gap: people are shipping vibe-coded apps and spinning up Ubuntu/Debian VPS boxes left and right, but “security” still means either a $0 bash script you forget about… or enterprise EDR priced for a SOC. LTH Shield is the middle path — one install command for hardening + monitoring (fail2ban, FIM, baselines), and optional Snort AI IPS when you need it, without putting a heavy stack (or a model) on every host. Would love feedback from: solo founders / small teams running a few VPS anyone who’s been burned by SSH noise or a neglected box folks comparing this to “just fail2ban + UFW” or the big EDR vendors What’s your current setup for Linux host security, and what still feels too hard or too expensive?
