Hi guys, this question might seem strange to you, but I want to know what I should do to understand if my website is secure against hacking. How can I find a team or person who knows how to hack? How can I be sure of their knowledge and skills?
 
Security audits are not cheap FYI. I can't technically offer my help officially because my account is too new and I want to respect the rules here, but I can list some things to check on.

Are you running your own VM? Check that SSH is locked down, root cannot login, ports other than the ones you need for your site are closed off and keep your box up to date. If you're running a webapp, be sure to keep dependencies updated as well.

You should note that I am not a security professional by trade or job title, I hold no certs and I'm not a "hacker" but I have spend enough time in the space to know the common holes to look for a fix. I also do my fair share of... shall we say "exploration" on the internet in my spare time.
 
Thank you, my website uses Hostiger cloud hosting.The website coding was done by a programmer.I want to know if the programmer has access.Are the codes clean?Is the shell placed by the programmer?
 
What is your website? I'm passionate about this stuff and I'm sure there are others here too that can take a look.
