These days, the biggest threat to an organization's network security comes from its public Web site. Unlike internal-only network services such as databases - which can be sealed off from the outside via firewalls - a public Web site is generally accessible to anyone who wants to view it. This paper lists ten of the "Worst offenders" of security misconfigurations, and demonstrates their potential impact on the applications. It also provides some best practices for locking down the configuration files to ensure that they are not unintentionally modified by well-meaning (but uninformed) programmers or administrators.
