Apache

Apache HTTP Server

The oldest and most widely used web server. It receives requests and serves web pages; it is configured using `.htaccess` files in directories.

Why it matters

It still powers a huge portion of the internet. Understanding `.htaccess` is essential for redirects, blocking, and security audits.

What's missing without it

Without control over `.htaccess` files in directories with uploaded files, the server may execute code uploaded there.

When it is used

During migrations, redirects after URL changes, and incident analysis.

How we use it

Attackers can exploit `.htaccess` to force PHP execution in directories where it was intended to be disabled.
