Many of the high-profile attacks on prominent Web sites within the last couple of years are a direct result of poor Web site or Web application security. With more than 60 percent of Web sites using the Apache Web server and the Apache-based open source Web development environment-and with the risk of sabotage greater than ever-Apache administrators and developers need to know how to build and maintain secure Web servers and Web applications. Maximum Apache Security details the complex security weaknesses and risks of Apache, and provides hands-on solutions for keeping a Web site secure and buttressed against intruders. It includes up-to-date coverage of both Apache 2.0 as well as Apache 1.3.
