Worked perfectly. &nbsp; I searched the file for the entries but did not find them. &nbsp;I just added them to the end of the file exactly as you referenced above and restarted Apache. &nbsp;No more OS and Apache version info on my errors and network scans. &nbsp;Thanks!<br />

I just created a web server running on ubuntu 9.1 with apache2, &nbsp;php5 and mysql. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I was just running a security scan on the server using Nessus. &nbsp; When it was done it told me that it was able to find out the operating system running on the box is:<br />
&nbsp;---- Remote operating system : Linux Kernel 2.6 on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) <br />
<br />
I would like to be able to hide this information from scans. &nbsp; Can anyone tell me how to do this using ubuntu, apache, or whatever other mechanism works.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
