If you are a ServerMask fan or interested in network security, this informative article from Don Davidson over at Arxceo Corporation, a Port80 Software partner, is worth your time.

This article is an extension of the discussion in Mask Your Web Server for Enhanced Security and Complete Stealth and Better Security with ServerMask ip100 and IP1000 Appliances, also worth reading if you have not had the chance...
ServerMask for IIS 3.0 is now in beta testing (sign up today!) and will be released in the next few weeks. We are also working on a new article covering the fundamentals of Web server security, different in focus but very similar in scope to our previous tome on Web performance: Fundamentals of Web Site Acceleration.
More to come,
