About This Software
mod_evasive operates by creating an internal dynamic table of IP addresses and URIs, and denies requests from any IP address that makes too many requests for the same URI according to configurable criteria. This simple yet effective mechanism helps prevent automated attacks that could overwhelm your server. The module is highly configurable, allowing you to set thresholds for what constitutes suspicious activity and how to respond when those thresholds are exceeded. Installation is straightforward and works with most Apache configurations.
