How can I perform a security audit on my Redis database?

To perform a security audit on your Redis database, start by reviewing your configuration settings. Ensure that you have strong authentication and that the default port is not exposed to the internet.

What specific configuration settings should I check?

Check the 'requirepass' setting to ensure a strong password is set, and review the 'bind' directive to limit access to trusted IPs.

Are there any tools that can help with the audit?

Yes, you can use tools like RedisInsight for monitoring and security checks, or third-party security scanners that support Redis.

What are some common vulnerabilities in Redis?

Common vulnerabilities include weak authentication, exposed ports, and misconfigured access controls. Always keep your Redis version updated.
