    Hi

    I found an interesting article in a german computer magazine

    Translated: >> click <<

    I am no expert in server administration so I have no clue how good this measure is but maybe someone that has more insight can give some feedback

    Just wanted to let you know ;)

    The wrapper is GPL

    That is very nice and might help some if the ddos is targeting apache and modsecurity has a lot of other good features like sql injection anti measures, but there are many other ways to perform a ddos which it would not protect against.

    If you're getting ddos'ed - work with your uplink provider to fight it, because when it reaches you servers, it's proberly impossible.
