Description
Hiawatha is a webserver that has been written with 'being secure' as its main goal. Hiawatha has many security features that no other webserver has.
Hiawatha does not have all the fancy features, but it is fast and really easy to configure. Rootjail, run CGIs under any uid/gid you want, prevention of SQL injection and cross-site scripting, banning of clients who try such exploits and many other features make it an interesting webserver for those who need more security than what others are offering (please note that while the author claims it's secure, this software has not been audited by the OpenBSD team).
Note: The project website says: "Due to lack of interest in this project, I no longer actively support and promote Hiawatha. I still use Hiawatha a lot myself, so development will continue, but likely very slow. New versions will still be released via this website."
In the other systems
The newest version among them is 12.4, as upstream numbers it.
