This Linux Apache module offers an intelligent web application firewall that can learn normal traffic and effectively stop malicious requests.
The software has a fantastic graphic installer and web interface that one can use to monitor web servers on a site by site (vhosts) basis. It provides detailed statistics, real time alerts and stops any malicious traffic. One of its paramount features is the ability to switch from alert to stop mode in just one click, which is very convenient for users.
The software requirements are Linux (across all distributions and all kernels), and Apache (all versions). Furthermore, BinarySEC 2 is also available for FreeBSD on their website. However, one of the software's limitations is that it only offers a 30-day full trial version.
The latest version of BinarySEC 2 adds several minor improvements based on feedback from its users. Among these improvements includes an increased width of the web interface, more accessible parameters such as Reset brain and Change site mode for basic users, the support of the old GNU libc 2.3.3, and the enhancement of its Unicode decoder.
Overall, BinarySEC 2 for Apache is an ideal pick for anyone in need of a reliable web application firewall. Its many features and easy-to-use interface ensure that users can enjoy maximum protection for their web servers.
