I just installed EasyPHP, which is basically a combination of Apache, PHP and MySQL for dummies. I'd like to make my router forward incoming requests to my computer, so that everyone on the Internet could fetch data from my computer using the Apache server.
However, I was wondering if there are many risks in this. For example:
- Could someone get full control of my computer this way?
- Is my computer more exposed to secutiry risks?
- Could I (practically) get DDOSed?
The last question might be exaggerating, but I'm just curious.
