Your company's Apache web server is attacked, and the default website is replaced with the attacker's own uploaded “hacked” web site. You are responsible to identify and understand this attack, and then recommend how to stop it. 

Premium lab on a professional cyber range: Apache Shutdown (3hrs)  

Your company's Apache web server is attacked and disabled. The attacker gains access to the server and uploads backdoor files and scripts that send the server’s username and password to the attacker every minute to maintain access to the server.
