Apache Security Review by Brian P. Irwin
A very easy read, on what could have been a dry topic
In the almost four years since this book was published the area of security, and of web security in particular has continued to move on at a significant pace. While there are many new specifics in this area, the underlying principals of this book are still fundamentally sound and a you get a very strong foundation in Apache in general, and Apache security specifically.
Unlike many O'Reilly books that punish you for reading from cover to cover, this one is very well edited, avoids telling you in a chapter what it told you in three previous chapters and the Ivan's writing style makes this a very fast read.
The section on mod_security is a lot longer than would normally make sense, but since Ivan wrote it this is not unexpected.
A very good read, and I hope at some point an updated version is released to cover the evolving area of web security.
