[KLUG Members] RE: at-home cops, evading the

[Doug Rehfeldt]

Couldn't you just use your @home web space with a static page that 
redirects to your web server at your house(?) on a high level port? 
Using port redirection you could then accept the connection at your 
firewall on this high level port and 'redirect' it to Port 80, or even 
better yet, just change the Apache listening port in the Apache 
http.conf file. With the problems of Code Red and other worms affecting 
port 80, the listening port change is probably a better option anyway. 
I also recommend authentication to the web server.  There are several 
ways to handle this which requires a little more in-depth discussion.

BTW:  was Apache access authentication ever covered in any of the past 
KLUG presentations?  I attend very few meetings due to current work 
responsibilities, but that will change very soon, and I would be very 
interested in this topic in greater detail and would attend, and even 
assist with, the presentation.
