It's up to you to deploy and configure them properly for your environment. Just a few off the top of my head: relayd(8) authpf(8) net/snort www/mod_security Indeed, mod_security is only currently available for apache-1.3. But I think the lack of modsecurity-2.x is only because nobody has stepped up to complete the port, not because of any technical hurdles.
