Route RPKI validation April 1st, 2022
RPKI is a security framework by which network owners can validate and secure the critical route updates or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) announcements between public Internet networks. BGP is essentially the central nervous system of the Internet and one of its fundamental building blocks. The main function of BGP is to facilitate efficient routing between Autonomous Systems (AS), by building and maintaining the Internet routing table. The Internet routing table is effectively the navigation system of the Internet and without it, traffic would be unable to flow between its constituent networks. Unfortunately, routing equipment alone cannot distinguish between legitimate and malicious routing announcements,...
RIPE – Atlas Anchor February 17th, 2022
We have become an even more integral part of the RIPE Atlas project by hosting an anchor, a device that allows for latency analysis of traffic between autonomous systems.https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/7073/RIPE Atlas anchors play an integral role in the RIPE Atlas network by acting both as enhanced RIPE Atlas probes with more measurement capacity, as well as regional measurement targets within the greater RIPE Atlas network. Anchors are able to perform many more measurements than a regular RIPE Atlas probe, and the large amount of data they collect is made available to everyone. In addition, anchors act as powerful targets that can...

cPanel getting SSL A+ rating from SSL Labs

Paolo Caparrelli cPanel 22 June 2022

I was able to get an A+ rating from ssllabs by using these simplified steps:

At Home / Service Configuration / Apache Configuration / Global Configuration, I set:

SSL Cipher Suite:
ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS

SSL/TLS Protocols: All -SSLv2 -SSLv3 -TLSv1
(for my limited audience, I chose to disable TLSv1.0 but maybe not right choice for big public websites yet)

Then at Home / Service Configuration / Apache Configuration / Include Editor, I edited Pre Main Include (All Versions) and pasted these two lines:

Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains;"
SSLHonorCipherOrder on

I then rebuilt Apache and I'm getting A+ ratings. Note that I have a mix of always-SSL and never-SSL websites hosted on my server, and they all continue to work fine. The header Strict-Transport-Security is even returned on my never-SSL websites, which doesn't seem right, but the docs at Wikipedia say it is always ignored on non-SSL responses and that matches my experience so far. ssllabs shows the header being returned/recognized on my SSL websites.

This blog post from last year also suggests editing Pre Main Include ( Getting an A+ on SSL Labs test in on all cPanel domains in 5 minutes – kris.io : virtualization & cloud ) rather than directly editing conf files. I mention this since it's easier to edit Pre Main Include and it might persist better & avoid closing you off from future updates to the core conf templates.
