06:06.07caverdudeis it bad if I startup tomcat as root?
06:06.11caverdudeor install it as root?
06:06.25caverdudehow can tomcat be exploited if I did?
06:10.25jasonbcaverdude: In my opinion, it's fine.
06:10.32caverdudeok
06:10.34caverdudethanks
06:10.47jasonbcaverdude: But, don't install it as root if you do not have the time to code your webapp such that it is secure.
06:11.03caverdudehrm
06:11.04caverdudeok
06:11.16caverdudewell a book suggested making a tomcat user
06:11.47jasonbAlso, if you do not believe you're experienced enough to know the main couple/few security things to watch out for as a webapp developer, then don't install it as root.
06:11.59jasonbIn general, Tomcat itself is *very* secure.
06:12.08jasonbBut, they didn't write your webapp.
06:12.29caverdudetrue
06:12.43caverdudethanks
06:13.27jasonbGenerally, it's plenty secure to run it as root on port 80.
06:13.49caverdudeok thanks
06:13.52caverdudeI feel better now :)
06:14.11jasonbI'm not aware of even a single case where a server running Tomcat that was running as root was hacked via HTTP.

06:21.30yassinehey jasonb
06:21.46jasonbhey there yassine!
06:21.53jasonbHow's it giong?  How's the baby?
06:22.16yassinegrowing and growing :)
06:27.12jasonbOutstanding.  Mine as well.
06:27.35jasonbIs yours smiling yet?
06:34.33yassinejasonb, whats that ?
06:34.55jasonbyassine: I assume you didn't see Chapter 6, Security in the first edition of our book?
06:35.37jasonbYou can download that chapter as a PDF here: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/tomcat/chapter/index.html
06:36.19jasonbIn there, I explained about Cross Site Scripting (XSS), HTML injection, etc.  And, I wrote a Tomcat Valve that filters bad user input to prevent it from happening.
06:37.02jasonbSince then, Filters have become more popular, so I also implemented a Filter that does the same thing as the Valve.
06:37.40yassineahh i see
06:38.21jasonbI often thought it wouldn't be real tough to take a Valve and make it into a Filter, since they're similar.. as long as the Valve's functionality did not depend directly on any Tomcat-specific API.
06:39.24jasonbSo, I set out to translate my BadInputValve into a Filter that does the exact same job.
