So what does that mean? Is really that easy to get in? How about this Zeus/3.4 on Solaris?

I'm a big fan of Solaris servers....but I can't discount the Mac web server we had that ran for 4 years straight...never a problem and never needed a security patch for the web software. I guess there is security through obscurity :-) :-)

Uhh...www.nissan.com is owned by a small computer store.
Nissan has been fighting this guy for years now trying to suck all of his funds dry to get the domain cause they were too stupid to register first. The computer store owner is still fighting it and I applaud him for it. It's quite disgusting what Nissan is doing to this guy...

Zues has had it's share of bad programming also but IIS is a full time baby sitting job especially since most script kiddie tools that are built on windows and Microsoft has alot of enemies. Any good coder with a compiler, debugger and a knowledge of assembly will search for holes til wee hours in the morning.

Apache by far has had a really good track record (especially since the code is freely available to the world) up until last month a group named gobbles came out with a chunked encoding buffer overflow that worked on numerous versions of apache

By far the too most secure webservers I've come across are:
Stronghold (commercial apache)
Netscape Fastrack 3.6 sp3 (the old one, obscurity)

and the platform, of course would be solaris, its the maxima of OS'es
phew just made it max related.

Solaris is great but it too has its share of hacks and required patches (and it can be quite slow depending on what you're doing with it). But then again, who doesn't have security issues. My favourite is still FreeBSD. It's free, isn't complete chaos like Linux is, and it's much more secure than Linux. (We're talking servers here, not workstations. I know FreeBSD isn't as up to date as Linux but who needs that for a server).

And..uuh...to keep it Max related, FreeBSD is a supercharged Max compared to Slowlaris being a Max. (Well, for me anyway..to each their own).
