CPU Affinity is a technique that allows processes on a multi-core processor to be targeted to specific CPU cores. The idea behind it is to improve the performance and stability of the system by making optimal use of the processor's resources. Assigning CPU affinities allows processes to run on...

ModSecurity is an open source web application firewall (WAF) module that can run as an Apache module or as a standalone application. It can be used to protect web applications from various types of attacks by filtering and monitoring incoming HTTP traffic requests. ModSecurity can be configured...

Event-Driven and Process-Based are two different architectural models for implementing applications, particularly in the area of server software.With a process-based architecture, a new process is started for each incoming client request to process the request. This means that each time a...

SSL handshake offloading is a process in which the SSL/TLS handshake is offloaded from a web server to special hardware or a software appliance. The aim is to relieve the web server of the CPU-intensive SSL/TLS encryption and to improve the efficiency of the SSL/TLS handshake.With the...

TLS Certificate Compression is a method for compressing SSL/TLS certificates. It was introduced to reduce the size of the certificates exchanged between the client and the server during the SSL/TLS handshake. The idea behind certificate compression is that the certificates are transmitted in a...

TLS record buffering is a mechanism used to improve the performance of TLS (Transport Layer Security) encrypted connections by reducing the number of network connections required.Normally, when using TLS, each block of data transmitted over the network is split into TLS records and...

Atomicorp is a company specializing in the development of security software. The company offers a range of solutions to protect web servers and cloud infrastructures from threats such as malware, hacking attacks and other security risks. Atomicorp also offers the ModSecurity Web Application...

A buffer overrun attempt is a type of security vulnerability that occurs when a program attempts to write data beyond the end of a buffer or memory allocation. This can cause unexpected behavior, such as program crashes, memory corruption, or unauthorized access to sensitive information....

The chroot (change root) ability is a Unix-based feature that allows a process to run in a confined environment where it can only access files and resources within a specified directory tree, also known as a "chroot jail". By using chroot, an administrator can create a segregated area on a...

Dynamic TLS Record Size is a feature that makes it possible to optimize the size of TLS data sets (records) for better performance and greater security. Normally, the size of the TLS records is statically determined by the application or the server and is therefore the same for all data...
