With more than 67% of web servers running Apache, it is by far the most widely
used web server platform in the world. Apache has evolved into a powerful system
that easily rivals other HTTP servers in terms of functionality, efficiency, and
speed. Despite these impressive capabilities, though, Apache is only a beneficial
tool if it's a secure one.
To be sure, administrators installing and configuring Apache still need a sure-fire
way to secure it--whether it's running a huge e-commerce operation, corporate
intranet, or just a small hobby site.
Our new guide, Apache Security, gives administrators and webmasters just what
they crave--a comprehensive security source for Apache. Successfully combining
Apache administration and web security topics, Apache Security speaks to nearly
everyone in the field. What's more, it offers a concise introduction to the
theory of securing Apache, as well as a broad perspective on server security
in general.
But this book isn't just about theory. The real strength of Apache Security
lies in its wealth of interesting and practical advice, with many real-life
examples and solutions. Administrators and programmers will learn how to:
- install and configure Apache
- prevent denial of service (DoS) and other attacks
- securely share servers
- control logging and monitoring
- secure custom-written web applications
- conduct a web security assessment
- use mod_security and other security-related modules
And that's just the tip of the iceberg, as mainstream Apache users will also
gain valuable information on PHP and SSL/ TLS. Clearly, Apache Security is packed
and to the point, with plenty of details for locking down this extremely popular
and versatile web server.
