      Mod_security, Apache Security Tightening Module
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DETAILS

     <http://www.webkreator.com/mod_security/> Mod_security is an Apache
    module whose purpose is to protect vulnerable applications and reject
    human or automated attacks. In addition to filtering requests, it also can
    create Web application audit logs. Understands regular expressions and
    POST payloads. Changes: Selective filtering has been introduced. You can
    now filter requests based on the contents of individual variables (HTTP
    headers, environment variables, and individual script arguments) coming
    either from GET or POST.

    At the moment its main features are:

     * Audit log; store full request details in a separate file, including
    POST payloads.

     * Request filtering; incoming requests can be analyzed and offensive
    requests can be rejected (or simply logged, if that is what you want).
    This feature can be used to prevent many types of attacks (e.g. XSS
    attacks, SQL injection, ...) and even allow you to run insecure
    applications on your servers (if you have no other choice, of course).
