Guys
What are the security implications of using the inbuilt Apache web server that comes with the QNAP and Synology NAS's to host a web site ? (I'm only asking for QNAP and Synology - as my purchase will be one of these) Especially if you use the Bitorrent client on the NAS ? Or would it be better not to use the Bitorrent client ?
Has anyone got any experience of this ?
I believe Apache can be hacked just like IIS. Just How secure is the Apache Web Server feature on the NAS's ?
As I understand firmware updates are limited to just a few a year, so any security holes are unlikely to be adressed swiftly ? If I am wrong on this - then please let me know.
I am intending to host several web sites on a NAS.
