Open source tools and standards to lookup known files
Shameless plug: I wrote a small poc module to use hashlookup's bloom filter in yara (https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara). The idea is to easily discard files that are known to be safe and so to avoid launching thousands of yara rules on a file for nothing. One can also use it to keep track of some files that meet certain conditions for instance. The module can store any string in these filters so I see a lot of useful use-cases for this little thingy :)

Risks of hosting a website out of my house
Monitoring & Active Measures - Exporting firewall events to an external time-series database like I describe above is good to see who is touching your firewall or accessing your web site. Using an Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata, which is a free package on pfSense, and deploying file system integrity monitoring, such as the open-source Wazuh on the exposed server are also good approaches to protecting yourself.

Server Hardening
Active Measures - Includes (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata or Snort on pfSense, and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), such as the commercial Tripwire and dated, open-source Tripwire, or the open-source Wazuh installed on servers. These can be combined into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system like the open-source solution, Security Onion. Wazuh itself has evolved into a SIEM.
