Re: Honours Project - Ideas?

To the few who replied thank you. Because of my lack of knowledge I failed to 
supply enough information. I believe that I will most likely use Apache for 
this project unless there are other recommendations. I'd like to stick with one 
form of server and platform so that I can concentrate on the attacks and 
network hardening techniques. I think this may prove to be the best approach as 
I can spend more time focusing on this.

The advice given was great. It seems hardening documents may be the basis of 
strengthening the network. 

I'd like to ask for more detailed thoughts from you guys if possible. Will 
focusing on DoS attacks give me enough to play with or are other attack methods 
worth looking at? Any in particular? Is Apache the best server to use in this 
project? Do you guys have ideas as where I should look into for research into 
attacks/solutions to attacks and research for my literature review?

Thanks
