We are currently running two servers. One of the servers is solely dedicated to the mysql database. My question is would it be a good idea to have the mysql port on a different one than the standard 3306 just so that hackers would have a hard tie finding it.
I know that they can always scan the ports but we will block out all port access from the outside world using portsentry but was just wondering if that extra added level of security would be achieved by running on a different port number.
