    Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers

    Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers Adam Pi´orkowski1, Aleksander Kempny2, Adrian Hajduk1, and Jacek Strzelczyk1 1 Department of Geoinfomatics and Applied Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow, Poland {adam.piorkowski,jacek.strzelczyk}@agh.edu.pl http://www.agh.edu.pl 2 Adult Congenital and Valvular Heart Disease Center University of Muenster, Muenster, Germany [email protected] http://www.ukmuenster.de Abstract. A load balancing issue for heterogeneous web servers is de- scribed in this article. The review of algorithms and solutions is shown. The selected Internet service for on-line echocardiography training is presented. The independence of simultaneous requests for this server is proved. Results of experimental tests are presented3. Key words: load balancing, scalability, web server, minimum response time, throughput, on-line simulator 1 Introduction Modern web servers can handle millions of queries, although the performance of a single node is limited. Performance can be continuously increased, if the services are designed so that they can be scaled. The concept of scalability is closely related to load balancing. This technique has been used since the beginning of the first distributed systems, including rich client architecture. Most of the complex web systems use load balancing to improve performance, availability and security [1{4]. 2 Load Balancing in Cluster of web servers Clustering of web servers is a method of constructing scalable Internet services. The basic idea behind the construction of such a service is to set the relay server 3 This is the accepted version of: Piorkowski, A., Kempny, A., Hajduk, A., Strzelczyk, J.: Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers.

    The Squid caching proxy Chris Wichura [email protected] What is Squid? • A caching proxy for – HTTP, HTTPS (tunnel only) –FTP – Gopher – WAIS (requires additional software) – WHOIS (Squid version 2 only) • Supports transparent proxying • Supports proxy hierarchies (ICP protocol) • Squid is not an origin server! Other proxies • Free-ware – Apache 1.2+ proxy support (abysmally bad!) • Commercial – Netscape Proxy – Microsoft Proxy Server – NetAppliance’s NetCache (shares some code history with Squid in the distant past) – CacheFlow (http://www.cacheflow.com/) – Cisco Cache Engine What is a proxy? • Firewall device; internal users communicate with the proxy, which in turn talks to the big bad Internet – Gate private address space (RFC 1918) into publicly routable address space • Allows one to implement policy – Restrict who can access the Internet – Restrict what sites users can access – Provides detailed logs of user activity What is a caching proxy? • Stores a local copy of objects fetched – Subsequent accesses by other users in the organization are served from the local cache, rather than the origin server – Reduces network bandwidth – Users experience faster web access How proxies work (configuration) • User configures web browser to use proxy instead of connecting directly to origin servers – Manual configuration for older PC based browsers, and many UNIX browsers (e.g., Lynx) – Proxy auto-configuration file for Netscape 2.x+ or Internet Explorer 4.x+ • Far more flexible caching policy • Simplifies user configuration, help desk support,

Firewalls and access control list on original point of origin. Squid supports caching of routers alone may not bring an acceptable level of many different kinds of Web objects, including security for your organization. Even if their those accessed through HTTP and FTP. Caching primary role is to reduce network traffic and frequently requested Web pages, media files and improve performance, HTTP proxy servers (also other content accelerates response time and called cache servers) are likely to be installed as reduces bandwidth congestion. A Squid proxy an additional security layer and as a web surfing server is generally installed on a separate server monitoring system. Having secure proxy servers is than the Web server with the original files. Squid critical because many users depend on it for their works by tracking object use over the network. work. Several proxy server products are available Squid will initially act as an intermediary, simply nowadays. Since commercial products are very IJERTpassing the client's request on to the server and expensive, alternative products such as openIJERT saving a copy of the requested object.

    Introduction

    HTTP Request Smuggling in 2020 – New Variants, New Defenses and New Challenges Amit Klein SafeBreach Labs Introduction HTTP Request Smuggling (AKA HTTP Desyncing) is an attack technique that exploits different interpretations of a stream of non-standard HTTP requests among various HTTP devices between the client (attacker) and the server (including the server itself). Specifically, the attacker manipulates the way various HTTP devices split the stream into individual HTTP requests. By doing this, the attacker can “smuggle” a malicious HTTP request through an HTTP device to the server abusing the discrepancy in the interpretation of the stream of requests and desyncing between the server’s view of the HTTP request (and response) stream and the intermediary HTTP device’s view of these streams. In this way, for example, the malicious HTTP request can be "smuggled" as a part of the previous HTTP request. HTTP Request Smuggling was invented in 2005, and recently, additional research cropped up. This research field is still not fully explored, especially when considering open source defense systems such as mod_security’s community rule-set (CRS). These HTTP Request Smuggling defenses are rudimentary and not always effective. My Contribution My contribution is three-fold. I explore new attacks and defense mechanisms, and I provide some “challenges”. 1. New attacks: I provide some new HTTP Request Smuggling variants and show how they work against various proxy-server (or proxy-proxy) combinations. I also found a bypass for mod_security CRS (assuming HTTP Request Smuggling is possible without it). An attack demonstration script implementing my payloads is available in SafeBreach Labs’ GitHub repository (https://github.com/SafeBreach-Labs/HRS).
