The issue is far bigger than just doing a few things to close
your system up. How valuable is your system for the 'mission' it
provides? What about your data? What backup and/or disaster recovery
processes have you prepared?
I'd actively migrate to a more recent edition of the OS, and put processes in place to keep patches updated.
There
are a number of places to get hardening guidance... YMMV. There is the
Center for Internet Security, DISA and NIST. Those are pretty good
starting point.

Subject: my fedora 13 machine has been cracked
Someone has broken into my fedora 13 machine. Aside from closing unused ports on the firewall and router and disabling unused services, what should I be doing to harden my set up? Tripwire? AIDE? What else? Thanks in advance!
