Apache is the most popular Web Server in the world. Because of its success, Microsoft doesn't even try to compete with Apache. Version 2 was released earlier this year, and is expected to have a life span of many years.
Hardening Apache will focus on every aspect of Apache security: configuration, jailing, secure logging, and Denial of Service Attacks. This will be the most thorough and updated book on the market. Most of the other titles are more fragmented in subject area, but Hardening Apache will be the comprehensive guide. It can be used as a step-by-step guide to advance one's knowledge of Apache, or it can be used for immediate problem solving. Each chapter offers a summary of its contents for easy reference.
