Source Install mod_security for better Apache security
Recently I wrote an article to help you secure your Linux Apache Installation (see “Five ways to help secure Apache on Linuxâ€). In that article I mentioned using Apache's mod_security, but didn't have the room for a tutorial on its installation. Well, here's the how to on installing this outstanding helper for Apache security.
What is mod_security?
The mod_security addition to Apache is a modular way to add or remove various security features to your Apache server. You can add or remove these modules by simply adding or removing (or commenting out) lines to your httpd.conf file and restarting the httpd daemon. And installing mod_rewrite is as easy as it is to install.
