[WEB SECURITY] Open Source Web Firewall (Part 1) Reverse Proxy with Facebook

["Ivan Buetler" <ivan.buetler@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am recommending the use of web application firewalls in front of the
web server farm. This helps as additional line of defense in case of a
zero day vulnerability. Watch the movie below if you want to learn how
to turn an apache web server into a reverse proxy. For the sake of this
explanation I have chosen "Facebook" as the backend application, but it
could be any application you like.

The movie is PART 1 of a series of upcoming reverse proxy and web
application firewall movies. Later, I will show how to turn this
explicit reverse proxy into a web application firewall with
pre-authentication, web filtering, session store (session hiding) that
meets current forensic requirements. 

Feedback is welcomed
