Talk of Ivan Buetler, November 11, 2010
What makes the difference between a web application firewall and a web entry server? In the
talk of Ivan Buetler you learn more about web entry servers, architecture, pre-authentication,
shared memory based session store, session hiding and service level accesscontrol.
The talk will start from a clean apache web server that will then be turned into a reverse
proxy, from where mod_security enables the web app firewall capabilities. In the next step, the
audience will learn and see how to turn this WAF into a Pre-Auth engine with url based access
controls and session hiding features.
At the end of the talk, we have setup a fully operational, secure and open source web entry
server in front of Facebook.
