FRPWPS: A Filter Driver and Reverse Proxy Based Web Protection System

Website attack has seriously affected the owner’s profit and the security of the Internet. In this paper, a Filter Driver and Reverse Proxy based Web Protection System (FRPWPS) with a version control-based safe recovery mechanism is proposed. FRPWPS consists of five sub systems including web file monitor, content publish, web reverse proxy, backup and recovery, and monitor center. The file filter driver is used to protect web program files from illegally tampered. The protected websites are run behind a web proxy with intrusion detection function. The backup and recovery subsystem is realized by a FTP protocol. Experiments analyze the functions and costs of FRPWPS, and results show that it can work well and achieve good performance for web protection.
