Ask HN: Lua App Servers?
I'm getting into Lua and wondering what's the list of active application servers? I've come across
- redbean
- openresty
- mako/barracuda
What am I missing?
- evanjrowley 3y agoCisco iOS XE uses a Lua app server for it's HTTP(S) interface. Not sure if it's a custom in-house, COTS, or implementation of one of those FOSS Lua app servers. I suppose it's worthwhile exploring if any of these app servers are vulnerable to the same type of exploitation[0]. >"The implant is based on the Lua programming language" >The implant is saved in the file path “/usr/binos/conf/nginx-conf/cisco_service.conf.” [0] https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/actively-exploited-cisco-0-day-with-maximum-10-severity-gives-full-network-control/#:~:text=The%20implant%20is%20based%20on%20the%20Lua%20programming%20language https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/actively-exploited-...
