Flash Media Server Security

If the Flash Media Server and an application server are both behind a firewall, they can 
communicate with each other and no outside party can eavesdrop on the data to gain access to 
private information.

You can also configure a firewall to provide additional protection against outside attacks. For 
example, if the server is being flooded by a particular IP or range of IP addresses, you can 
configure the firewall to ignore messages from those IP addresses.

The server allows you to strictly control which users can connect to it and where they can 
connect from. You can also configure a firewall to control the ports users inside and outside 
your network can connect to.

Log file precautions 

A log file is a file that contains information about events that have occurred on the server. 
When using log files, you are vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks by applications that can 
fill the hard disk—for example, by making high volumes of connection requests. To prevent 
this problem, write an operating system script to delete or back up the log regularly. You can 
also configure the duration and rotation of these files in the Logger.xml file.
