mod_evasive is an evasive maneuvers module for Apache to provide evasive action
|
|
in the event of an HTTP DoS or DDoS attack or brute force attack. It is also
|
|
designed to be a detection and network management tool, and can be easily
|
|
configured to talk to ipchains, firewalls, routers, and etcetera. mod_evasive
|
|
presently reports abuses via email and syslog facilities.
|
|
|
|
Detection is performed by creating an internal dynamic hash table of IP
|
|
Addresses and URIs, and denying any single IP address from any of the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
* Requesting the same page more than a few times per second
|
|
* Making more than 50 concurrent requests on the same child per second
|
|
* Making any requests while temporarily blacklisted (on a blocking list)
|
|
|
|
This package is for use with apache version 2.
