Php sessions helps creating persistence for the php based applications. The Elastic load balancer follows the Round robin algorithm to deliver the traffic to the backend servers. If a request asking for the authentication is served from a server it generates a token which is used to check the authenticated users. The problem comes when the request has been authenticated by a server reaches to other server due to ELB sending next request to another backend server but since it does not have that session id so it won't be able to authenticate in that case. To Overcome this problem in AWS, you can use the Session Stickiness on the ELB. The ELB would generate a token and send it to client in the form of cookie. In this case ELB would be able to determine which server authenticated and would create a persistence between the server and the client request so that everytime the request comes from that client is delivered from the same server as defined in the timeout value. For e.g if ...

PHP sessions is a way to help create a sense of persistence for php based applications. Most systems just set the php sessions to go to files, usually /tmp. Settings can be adjusted with the following: session.save_handler = files session.save_path = "/tmp" for systems having issues with persistence because of CDNs like Akamai, we can put the php session data into memcache. To configure php to use memcache, do the following: Install and setup pecl memcache (pecl install pecl/memcache) Setup a memcached instance for Edit php.ini to use memcache (extension = memcache.so) session.save_handler = memcache session.save_path = " tcp://66.76.89.51:20113 "

Ansible in short is an IT Automation , configuration management and provisioning tool. It uses playbook to deploy, Manage, Build, test and configure anything from full server environments to websites to custom source code for applications. It brings together aspects of environment Management that have been traditionally separate and managed independently.

If you are using an Jump Server(bastion) to connect to other server like webservers than you need to create a tunnel first in order to connect the filezilla for the SFTP file transfer. Winscp has a built in tunnel  which you can use to connect to the Ec2 instance without any need for tunneling through ssh. 1. You would first need to connect to the server using the ssh as follows ssh -i username.pem -D 8001 username@ 2. Next open the Filezilla and click on the Settings in the Filezilla Settings  > Generic Proxy > Socks 5 >  Proxy host: 127.0.0.1 Proxy Port:8001 Save the Settings now. Thats it , now connect in the normal way as you use to connect via filezilla i.e. sftp://internal-server-ip username and password and port 22 and click connect. You should be connected now. Remember you would always need to do ssh first and than connect via filezilla to the Ec2 instance.

The Hotlinking is a kind of attack where exploiter can simply copy the Web-application code over the random sites with the unrelevant high amount of traffic so that every time there is a request on that page out web-application code would also be loaded , this specially cause problem in case of images, videos, media, css and js. This can choke your network and can exploit too much of your resources.
