ModSecurity

Posted: May 28th, 2005

I came across ModSecurity:

ModSecurity is an open source intrusion detection and prevention engine for web applications (or a web application firewall). Operating as an Apache Web server module or standalone, the purpose of ModSecurity is to increase web application security, protecting web applications from known and unknown attacks.

I read Introducing mod_security and I think I’ll try ModSecurity one of these days. The author also wrote a book – Apache Security. If I was currently runing apache somewhere I’d consider reading it. He also has a blog.
