Server Security Made Easy | Live Attack & Protection | Apache Load Balancer Lab Setup

Описание: 🔒 In this full-stack cybersecurity lab demo, I set up a secure Apache Load Balancerwith:

Backend Servers (Python HTTP servers on Parrot OS)
HTTPS-enabled Apache Web Server
ModSecurity with OWASP Core Rule Set (WAF)
Fail2Ban to auto-ban attack IPs
GoAccess for real-time traffic monitoring
All hosted inside VirtualBox VMs

💥 Simulated attacks like XSS, SQLi, and 404 spam were blocked live using WAF and Fail2Ban combo!

🎯 What you’ll learn:
Apache load balancing basics
Configuring HTTPS
Setting up ModSecurity WAF with OWASP rules
Auto-banning attackers using Fail2Ban
Real-time traffic monitoring with GoAccess
Hands-on lab demonstration with Kali Linux, Parrot OS, and Ubuntu Server

📌 Perfect for cybersecurity students, enthusiasts, and those preparing for interviews or projects.

💻 Tools used:
Apache2
Python HTTP Server
ModSecurity + OWASP CRS
Fail2Ban
GoAccess
VirtualBox
