Hi guys,
I made some tests here with ossec 2.7. When I try to scan the target, the 
modsec delivery a 403 error page, so, ossec read the apache access.log file 
and match the rule with ID 31151 from web_rules.xml and block the 
attacker's IP on iptables. Follow the rule below:

<rule level="10" id="31151" timeframe="90" frequency="12">
<if_matched_sid>31101</if_matched_sid>
<same_source_ip/>
<description>Multiple web server 400 error codes </description>
<description>from same source ip.</description>
<group>web_scan,recon,</group>
</rule>
 
The question is, why doesn't happen the same thing on ossec 2.8.1?
There is some problem if I used the version 2.7?
