Fix Misconfigured Apache Webserver
webapp-owasp-top10-security-misconfig | Level: Easy | Total Lab Runs: 0 | Premium Lab |
Infrastructure security is as important as application security if not more. A misconfigured or vulnerable service can allow the attacker to gain access to the system even when the application/website is secure. Hence, it is important to make service hardening configuration changes.
In this lab, an attacker simulator (with testing/verification system) is provided to the user. The CLI access to a machine running a misconfigured Apache webserver is also provided. The user has to make webserver hardening related configuration changes to the apache machine and make sure that all tests provided in the attack simulator are passed.
Objective: Fix the misconfiguration and pass all tests!
Guidelines
The fixes for the tests present in the Attack Simulator are not mutually exclusive. So, changing the configuration to clear some tests might fail the previously passed tests. So it is recommended to perform these fixes in a sequential manner.
On some browsers, the last line of the console window is not visible. To fix that, uncheck the Headers checkbox on the top right corner of the window.
The following activities are strictly prohibited on this website unless otherwise explicitly stated as allowed in the mission statement:
- Using automated scanners
- Using brute force attacks
- Denial of Service attacks
- Attacking other student machines in challenges where you might achieve a shell on the vulnerable system

Users violating the above will be either temporarily or permanently banned from the website.
If you are unsure about an activity, then please contact support to confirm that it is allowed on our website.
Technical Support for this Lab:
There is a reason we provide unlimited lab time: you can take as much time as you need to solve a lab. However, we realize that sometimes hints might be necessary to keep you motivated!
We currently provide technical support limited to:
- Giving hints for a lab exercise
- In rare circumstances, if you have totally given up (NO!!!) then tell you how to solve it. This will be limited to sharing the solution video or lab report
- A lab exercise fails to load or has errors in it
If you need technical support, please email attackdefense@pentesteracademy.com clearly mention the name and link of the lab exercise and other essential details. The more descriptive you are, the faster we can help you. We will get back to you within 24 hours or less.
