ModSecurity is an open source intrusion detection and prevention engine for web applications. It operates embedded into the web server, acting as a powerful umbrella – shielding applications from attacks. ModSecurity supports both branches of the Apache web server.

Rfx Networks Recommended:

“mod_security is great and I encourage it be used by everyone; it does have the potential to break some web applications but so far iv seen very few issues to say the least. Likewise it is easy to fix any applications that may break with the granular filter rules that can be setup to either deny or allow certain content. Overall mod_security is a needed addition to apache, providing a layer of security yet unseen for apache. I highly encourage you read the reference document on the modsecurity.org site (under documentation) to better understand each directive and the role it plays in protecting your server and sites.”

Requirements:
Apache Web Server 1.3x or 2.x
