Software Development for Blocking File Change Attacks on Web Servers

Abstract

Today web servers, websites, web based applications, cloud applications, e-government applications etc  are  used actively in many areas. With the increase in the usage of Web servers some of the security needs are emerged.  Especially disrupting services made to the web server, to access information and change the information as a result of attacks on sites and applications can be quite seriously damaged. In our study a software has been developed as a measure to the attacks by estimating or stealing the FTP password to the web server. This software is installed to the serving server and sites are observed. The software always follows the desired files. If a change is wanted to be done in the file or the file is wanted to be deleted completely optionally Access is completely blocked or it lets to delete the file after that closes FTP, brings it back into the previous item. In this way, the file which belongs to this attack attempt has been obtained. Optionally, notifications via email or sms are sent to the server administrator or site owner.

Key words: Blocking FTP attacks, webserver attacks
