We have just released an exciting update! We have integrated native support for OpenLiteSpeed into our agent, joining Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed in the ranks. 

This means our users can enjoy faster, more secure websites, thanks to the smart combination of BitNinja's security features and OpenLiteSpeed's quick web serving capabilities.

OpenLiteSpeed: Its Rising Popularity 

Let's dive into what makes OpenLiteSpeed stand out. Developed by LiteSpeed Technologies, OpenLiteSpeed is a free, open-source web server software. It's built on the foundation of the original LiteSpeed web server. It is a high-performance, commercially available server known for its efficiency and ability to handle heavy traffic. Unlike its predecessor, OpenLiteSpeed offers the community the freedom to use and modify it at no cost. 

It's not just about being free. OpenLiteSpeed is popular for its ease of installation, configuration, and support for programming languages like PHP, Python, and Perl. It boasts impressive performance and scalability, making it a perfect choice for high-traffic websites. 

BitNinja Meets OpenLiteSpeed

Understanding the significance of OpenLiteSpeed, we at BitNinja aimed to harness its potential fully by developing a seamless integration with our security agent. This integration is designed to parse web server configurations via the ConfigParser module, including detailed analysis and walking through OpenLiteSpeed configurations and include statements. 

Our integration not only enhances compatibility but also introduces a host of advanced features designed to streamline security and management processes for all users. We have integrated sophisticated tools to improve certificate management, server port configurations, and virtual host data handling. This means more efficient security operations, easier management, and, ultimately, a safer environment for web servers with OpenLiteSpeed.

Simplifying Security: OpenLiteSpeed and WAF 3.0

Our adventure with OpenLiteSpeed has been thrilling, especially with the new HTTP3/QUIC protocol. Although it's a bit tricky because HAProxy and Nginx don't fully support it yet, these challenges have made us smarter.

On the horizon, we're excited about the development of WAF 3.0, which promises full support for HTTP3/QUIC. This next-generation Web Application Firewall, powered by a shift to Caddy and incorporating the Golang-based ModSecurity, Coraza, is set to revolutionize CMS protection. WAF 3.0 is gearing up to offer faster, more efficient, and lighter security solutions, marking a significant leap forward in web application firewall technology.

Our support team stands ready to assist with these configurations, ensuring you're never alone in optimizing your web server security. We strongly encourage you to contact them if you encounter any anomalies or face any issues. By working together, we can swiftly address these challenges and continuously improve our processes to serve your needs better.

Changelog Highlights

Our integration introduces notable enhancements:

- Refined malware detection configurations, reducing resource consumption without sacrificing efficiency.

- New options in the IPFilter to customize the TTL of IP addresses in the challenge list, enhancing control over traffic management.

Looking Forward

With the integration now in place, users now have immediate access to the enhanced cloud-config capabilities. This development marks a significant step forward in streamlining and enriching user experiences.

This development not only signifies BitNinja's commitment to supporting the latest in web server technology but also ensures that our users' websites remain fast, reliable, and secure. The integration with OpenLiteSpeed represents a significant advancement in our service offerings, and we can't wait for our users to experience the enhanced performance and security it brings to their websites.
