[QUOTE="SpudR, post: 402132, member: 54104"] You are kinda missing the point - getting access to your server will be through the security exploits inherent in the version of the software you are using. There are known exploits in Apache for instance that can give you access to the entire server as an admin (or root), and access ALL files on the system... Not sure if this link will get deleted, but have a read of this: [url=http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Web-Server-Defacements-Part1.html]Web Server Defacements (Part 1)[/url] If it doesn't scare the pants off you I don't know what will..! Once your server has been compromised, there is no end to the mayhem - Zombie PC anyone?
