About:
ModSecurity is an intrusion detection and
prevention engine for Web applications (sometimes called a Web application firewall). Operating embedded or as part of an Apache reverse proxy, it increases Web application security, protecting Web applications from known and unknown attacks. It is flexible and easy to configure. It monitors HTTP traffic (including POST payloads), detects or prevents attacks, enhances logging, performs anti-evasion, and allows administrators to create custom rules to suit their specific needs. It excels in HTTP traffic monitoring and just-in-time vulnerability patching.

A Required Apache Module
by MuppetMania - Feb 26th 2004 20:01:43
I'm using this on a number of sites and I recommend anyone else worried
about security do the same.
It's got an easy to understand configuration file, it's easy to install
and it works exactly as advertised. I've seen a number of hack attempts
blocked by this module. I'm running a number of PostNuke sites and I feel
more at ease doing so, knowing that a number of the usual exploits of these
sites can be blocked with the use of modsecurity.
The author is also very fast to respond to any requests for help and
offered me great advice and help with the inital problems I faced (Not
reading the manually properly...)
