Overview
ModSecurity is an Apache module that functions as an embeddable web application firewall. It provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring and real-time analysis with no changes to existing infrastructure.
It is also an open source project that aims to make web application firewall technology available to everyone.
ModSecurity configurations are far too varied and complex to describe here. To learn more, see the following resources:
