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 tool, and can be easily configured to talk to ipchains, firewalls, routers, and etcetera. 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)
