Abstract: Scripts is SIPB’s shared hosting service for the MIT community. However, it does quite a bit more than your usual $10 host: what shared hosting services integrate directly with your Athena account, replicate your website on a cluster of servers managed by Linux-HA, let you request hostnames on *.mit.edu, or offer automatic installs of common web software, let you customize it, and still upgrade it for you? Scripts is a flourishing development platform, with over 2600 users and many interesting technical problems.

This is an updated version of a guest lecture on server security for MIT Lincoln Lab's Capture the Flag class last semester. We'll discuss a couple of public-facing SIPB services, their security models, and how we're able to run things in such a public environment safely. We'll also compare them with standard (out-of-the-box) server configurations for the same types of applications.
