The Little Dutch Moose is a firewall software that protects your server from sites that try to infect it with a worm or virus-like command.
Little Dutch Moose saves the day by detecting and shutting down these infected hosts through its built-in firewall. With this software, your web server can now handle legitimate requests without any interruptions.
The software includes three processes or modules: the Apache module, the Daemon, and the Control Panel. The Apache module named mod_ldm.so sees all incoming server commands before they are processed by Apache. If this module detects an illegal command, it sends out a notification message that is picked up by the Daemon.
The Daemon named LittleDutchMoose is continually listening for system-wide notification messages that are generated by mod_ldm.so. It blocks infected hosts by automatically commanding your firewall to add a deny request on any port or a particular port, with TCP or UDP packets. The Control Panel named Little.Dutch.Moose.Prefs serves as the user interface for configuring and monitoring Little Dutch Moose and its actions.
The software comes with a 30-day trial, and the latest release includes new features such as Re-labeled Attack Signatures configuration panel, Request Header Signatures panel, and an option to reject all chunked requests. You can also reset the evaluation version to extend the trial period.
In summary, Little Dutch Moose enhances your system's security by protecting it from illegal messages that can cause your server to bog down and increase your bandwidth usage. It is an essential software for users who desire impeccable protection from infected hosts.
