Anyone using the modsecurity_35_bad_robots ?
There is keyword “Via” in the data file which matches for browsers like 
“Whitehat Aviator” and requests coming  off these browsers get blocked ,just 
wondering if its ok to remove the keyword “via” off the list or conditionally 
handle it with a positive rule to allow this browser, there may be other 
browser/devices that can have “via” in  user agents as part of some word as in 
this case.

Also not sure if this is the intended behavior, though the user agent have 
“Whitehat Aviator” present in in all the requests from this browser , only 
requests with ARGS seems to be working for the rules in 
modsecurity_35_bad_robots.conf

1.GET request – User comes to home page ( not blocked by Mod Security as there 
are no ARGS /parameters  )
2.POST request – user logs in ( blocked by Mod security – with POST parameters)
3.GET Request – any navigation with ARGS  ( blocked by Mod security - with GET 
parameters)


Thanks
Subin
