I have a question - I am thinking of running a web server off of my computer, and I want to know if there is a way that I can make it secure. Really secure.
I know that hackers, if determined and knowledgable could probably get in if they want to, but I want to be able to setup something, where you have to use a username and password to get into it - and where it is pretty secure. Nothing like Javascript, or asp, which are pretty damn easy to get through, but something hopefully a little more secure...like possibly a secure server?? Any help..???
I would be running this off of my computer, which has Windows ME on it(Yeah, I know - it really does suck - but it is already partitioned, and I dont want to bother w/ everything again, so :-P)...and I am just wondering if there is some sort of server program I can download, if that is what I would use to make it a secure server, or what I would have to do.
I know a fair amount of HTML/DHTML/ect, so I am not a complete idiot - but most other stuff that has to do w/ programming goes over my head - but I can learn, so if someone could point me in the right direction here, if it does have to do w/ some sort of programming, then I would greatly appreciate it.
thx
