Because more administrators use Apache to serve web pages than any other product, the software's followers are not necessarily open source advocates but mainstream users who know a good bet when they see it. So, our new guide not only offers a concise introduction to the theory of securing Apache, but covers broad concerns about 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 will learn how to get Apache up and running, and gain useful information on PHP, SSL and TLS, Denial of Service (DOS) attacks, server sharing, logging and monitoring, and access control. They'll also learn ways to secure web applications, conduct a Web Security Assessment, and use mod_security.
