| description | Enterprises are turning to Internet technology to
circulate information, interact with potential customers
and establish an e-commerce business presence. These
activities are depending highly on Web server and
maintaining good server security has been a
requirement for avoiding any malicious attacks
especially web defacements and malware. Web server
administrators should be alert and attentive to the
status of the server at all time. They need to be
persistent in monitoring the server in order to detect
any attempted attacks. This is an advantage for a web
server that is maintained by a big company that has a
big budget to hire a knowledgeable web server
administrator, for a new established small company it
will only burden their expenses. To overcome this
problem, this paper proposes a low cost system called
Autonomous Web Server Administrator (AWSA) that is
fully developed using open source software. AWSA
combines several computing concepts such as Virtual
Machine, Intrusion Detection System and Checksum.
AWSA offers a Virtual Machine based Web server that
has the ability to automatically detect intrusions and
reconstruct corrupted data or the file system without
any human intervention. |
