Malware scanner

Is installing Linux Malware Detect (maldet) a good way to protect the server?

Sure, I’ve been using bitninja, although it a bit pricey. Is it for web sites? If you using wordpress you can get free scanners like wordfence.

To protect the server from what? What’s the attack vector you’re trying to address?

Malicious software (Backdoors) and malicious files (fishing).
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.

That’s the payload. What’s the attack vector you’re concerned about?

I haven’t been attacked. Is there a need for malware detection to protect the server?
