Root Login Alert!

Want to get notified as soon as someone access your root ssh account? This is the best way to do so.

NOTE: This process requires a linux server.

So lets get started!

1. Login to root SSH

2. cd /root

3. pico .bashrc

4. Scroll to the end of the file then add the following:
echo ‘ALERT! – Root Shell Access (YourserverName) on:’ `date` `who` | mail -s “Alert: Root Access from `who | cut -d”(” -f2 | cut -d”)” -f1`” you@yourdomain.com

Replace YourServerName with the handle for your actual server
Replace you@yourdomain.com with your actual email address

5. Crtl + X  then Y

Now logout of SSH, close the connection and log back in! You should receive an email address of the root login alert a few minutes afterwards.

Have Fun
