They are the unsung heroes that continue to work in the background to guarantee that every click, every search, every touch that you make on the Internet occurs seamlessly.

But wait, what is a web server meaning and how does this rather handy and mystical performance happen? Going further, one will learn web server definition, their categories, and how they work as a synchronized duo, providing access to data as fast as possible. We will pull the ‘veil’ off this crucial technology with the help of which the world stays connected at all times and how some of the operations happen behind the scenes. Well then, sit back and hold on tight to your seat for a ride into the world of web servers, their types and discover which is good for you.

What is a Web Server? Web Server Meaning Explained

Fundamentally, to define web server can be confusing; it is not an item but rather a convergence of hardware and software in harmony. The hardware part is an advanced computer connected to the Internet twenty-four-seven and optimized for achieving high data access rates. This solid and sturdy object is the physical equivalent of the library that contains the vast collection of link lists – web pages, images, videos, etc.

The software component, therefore, is the strategic mastermind of the systems. It resembles a world-class librarian who comprehends a certain language, namely Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This can be known by every person who receives their browser, types a web address, and presses the enter key; an HTTP request is initiated. This request is sent across the internet within a host server; the request is specific and relates to the information asked. The web server software then translates this request, looking for the precise HTML, image, or other files.

Widening Attack Surfaces with Unicode

Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) is a webserver created for the Windows NT family. IIS allows users to read, write, and execute programs and files within specific directories, giving them the ability to serve static and dynamic files to the web.

In order to keep users inside particular directory structures and thereby keeping them from gaining full control of the system, IIS has path-checking code designed to keep users from using the backslash character to traverse up the directory tree and enter locations that belong to other users. In 2000, Microsoft included support for the Unicode character set in order to take advantage of Unicode's 2-bytes/character allotment which allowed users to represent tens of thousands of possible characters. This enabled support for more languages, including Chinese and Arabic. Unfortunately, the added complexity allowed multiple representations of the backslash character, like "%5c" for example. Transitioning from the Unicode representation of %5c to \ occurred after the path-checking code, and this oversight allowed for worms like Sadmind and CodeRed to deface web pages. The vulnerability was fixed with the MS00-057 patch. Sources: www.giac.org/paper/gcih/115/iis-unicode-exploit/101163 www.securityfocus.com/bid/1806/exploit
