[users@httpd] Apache on the different platforms

[Jason Long <ha...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

Hello,If a vulnerability is found in the Apache web server, then does that vulnerability work both in Apache under Linux and Windows operating systems?

Thank you.

After working over ten years on Apache systems, many different distros,
many different OS's and vers., I can say that more than anything my biggest
vulnerability has been the ever-changing landscape of the internet itself,
constant updates and browser changes, and continuous EOL and lack of
product support.

Nevetheless, I try to preserve the technology that works. A good firewall
and smart policies go a long way. I also use nmap to continuously monitor
networks and custom scripts for alerts and other recognitions.

Jason:
A dynamic link library on windows(. dll) is like a shared library(. so) on
linux
-Greg

Frank:

For me personally, what I am working on is PCI compliant payment
processing. I am trying to process Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, in compliance
with PCI standards for a series of *NAS VENDING MACHINES* -- I am the lead
R&D/owner in my team; I have research assts. and several volunteers.
Similarly, I am trying to create bank accounts/retirement accounts for my
employees and manage their company spend budget with a terminal card /
debit card / or other payment card. Ideally we would like to keep iterating
on a system such that we can move beyond the "expiration date"
feature/security tool and issue a card that expires naturally with its user.

This sounds like a homework question... what problem are you trying to
solve, exactly?

It depends on the vulnerability, and if some library is the culprit, and if
that library is present on that operating system.
