ModSecurity

ModSecurity is an open source web application firewall that inspects requests and blocks those that look like attacks, usually together with the OWASP Core Rule Set. This tag collects guides about keeping RSS and Atom feeds reachable when a web application firewall is active. Articles explain how to find a blocked request in the audit log, read the rules that fired and write narrow exclusions that apply only to the feed path. They also cover detection-only mode, ordering of exclusions, control tests that prove protection stays on elsewhere and documentation of every change. The advice helps site owners stay protected and share every new article on social networks automatically.
