What is quark?

The main objective of this project is to specialize in one task: efficiently managing static web directories. Many current solutions are either excessively intricate with unnecessary features like CGI support and dependence on external libraries or they lack critical elements such as TLS, virtual hosting, or partial content handling. Quark intends to find a middle ground by concentrating solely on serving static content while still offering advanced functionalities typically seen in more elaborate systems, all with a focus on security through techniques like chroot, privilege escalation, and rigorous parsing without using dynamic memory. We believe that most of the web can function effectively without dynamic elements, contending that the rising complexity of server-side applications is a key factor in diminishing web efficiency. Today’s approach often involves handling everything on the server side—such as parsing requests, modifying files and databases, and producing HTML—frequently employing unsuitable languages like PHP or JavaScript, which can introduce significant security risks and inefficiencies. By streamlining these operations, we aspire to foster a web environment that is both simpler and more secure, ultimately benefiting users and developers alike. This focus on static content not only enhances performance but also reduces the attack surface for potential vulnerabilities.

What is kWS?

kWS is a highly efficient web server tailored for Android mobile devices, enabling users to host websites and deliver files via HTTP. It follows the HTTP-1.0 protocol and incorporates both basic and digest authentication methods to ensure better security. The server also supports server-side includes (SSI) and features directory indexing, which allows for file downloads in tar, tgz, and zip formats. Users benefit from resumable downloads and integrated Dynamic DNS updates, with the capacity to accommodate up to 20 concurrent connections while providing extensive HTTP logging. Additionally, kWS includes HTTPS/TLS support utilizing BKS and PKCS12 keystores, protecting files through password-based encryption with 128-bit AES and Triple DES. It also supports GZip compression and offers directory indexing in various formats such as JSON and XML, allowing for index sorting which enhances its customizability with the ability to manage as many as 999 parallel connections per port. Users can configure settings at the directory level and enjoy compatibility with several Dynamic DNS providers, including ZoneEdit. Furthermore, kWS is designed to automatically initiate upon device boot, significantly improving its user-friendliness and accessibility. This server solution not only simplifies the hosting process but also empowers users to efficiently serve files on mobile platforms. Its robust feature set makes it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to optimize their web server experience on Android devices.
