Hi guys,

Do any of you use mod_security2?

An article just came up on HowToForge about it, and I'm skeptic about
installing it on my FreeBSD box. Is mod_security2 ok? Will it load the
CPU? Will it make apache22 slow?

http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_mod_security_debian_etch "ModSecurity
is an Apache module that provides intrusion detection and prevention for
web applications. It aims at shielding web applications from known and
unknown attacks, such as SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting,
path traversal attacks, etc."

I use mod_security on apache13 on a server that gets about 7 million hits a month. I haven't noticed any problems. I've been using it for several years now.
