mod_protection is an apache module that integrate basic function of an IDS

(intrusion detection system) and of a firewall (just an emulation for now). Your apache administrator have only to install mod_protection and define rules. Obviously you see that a normal NIDS can't check SSL tunneled stuff and that mod_protection can. When a malicious client sends a request that matches on your rules the administrator will be warned and the client gets a user defined page or a error or something that notifies that now he will be persecuted or ... The warning system just write on a socket, so you can put on the other side of the socket an application that send you a mail, an SMS, a message in your favourite IM or a notify in your IRC client, or why not open a message box on your usual box.

What's new? 0.0.2 ->
introduction of three new directives:
BlockTime and PairAlert PairAlertMatch.
BlockTime introduce a partial emulation of firewall.
Test with CGI scanner.
A little more documentation.
Rules in an external file.
Changed in GPL because Apache license doesn't make sense for this module.
