General Information on modsecurity & modsececurity2

  • The ruleset(s) provided by modsecurity/modsececurity2 will affect NATS processes and these rules are enabled by default. These default ruleset(s) need to be disabled so they will not get used.
  • Host can create custom rules that only apply for things outside of NATS
  • Host's responsibility to ensure that these rules don't affect NATS functions on NATS domain & linkdomains

Example Custom Rules for ModSecurity2

https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/Reference-Manual-(v2.x)

You can create customized rules with modsecurity2, to rate-limit by ip, request vars being sent, etc. These are example rules that will rate-limit requests and prevent bot spam. You can use these rulesets as a reference, but be aware that you are responsible for your configuration and that you should NOT use the default rulesets provided by modsececurity2.

Member Signup Throttling
