ModSecurity
Find out what ModSecurity is in fact, how it operates and precisely what it will do to guard your web sites and web applications.
ModSecurity is an efficient firewall for Apache web servers that is employed to prevent attacks against web apps. It tracks the HTTP traffic to a particular Internet site in real time and prevents any intrusion attempts the instant it detects them. The firewall uses a set of rules to do that - for instance, trying to log in to a script administration area unsuccessfully several times triggers one rule, sending a request to execute a specific file that may result in getting access to the website triggers a different rule, and so on. ModSecurity is amongst the best firewalls available on the market and it will secure even scripts which aren't updated frequently since it can prevent attackers from using known exploits and security holes. Very detailed info about every single intrusion attempt is recorded and the logs the firewall maintains are considerably more comprehensive than the standard logs generated by the Apache server, so you could later examine them and determine if you need to take more measures so as to boost the protection of your script-driven sites.
