Dear Farhan, Its not mood security, its mod-security for apache / nginx.
i don't know whether which distro you are using.
anyway you can use the following commands with little change.
First you need to install dependencies: ## For RHEL/CentOS6.2/6.1/6/5.8 ## # yum install gcc make # yum install libxml2 libxml2-devel httpd-devel pcre-devel curl-devel ## For Fedora17,16,15,14,13,12 ## # yum install gcc make # yum install libxml2 libxml2-devel httpd-devel pcre-devel curl-devel Secondly, I prefer to download and build from source, since production machines require performance.
## For RHEL/CentOS6.2/6.1/6/5.8 ## # cd /usr/src # wget http://www.modsecurity.org/download/modsecurity-apache_2.6.6.tar.gz # tar xzf modsecurity-apache_2.6.6.tar.gz # cd modsecurity-apache_2.6.6 # ./configure # make install # cp modsecurity.conf-recommended /etc/httpd/conf.d/modsecurity.conf ## For Fedora17,16,15,14,13,12 ## # cd /usr/src # wget http://www.modsecurity.org/download/modsecurity-apache_2.6.6.tar.gz # tar xzf modsecurity-apache_2.6.6.tar.gz # cd modsecurity-apache_2.6.6 # ./configure # make install # cp modsecurity.conf-recommended /etc/httpd/conf.d/modsecurity.conf Third, you have to download the rules for OWASP ## For RHEL/CentOS6.2/6.1/6/5.8 ## # cd /etc/httpd/ # wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mod-security/modsecurity-crs/0-CURRENT/modsecurity-crs_2.2.5.tar.gz # tar xzf modsecurity-crs_2.2.5.tar.gz # mv modsecurity-crs_2.2.5 modsecurity-crs # cd modsecurity-crs # cp modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf ## For Fedora17,16,15,14,13,12 ## # cd /etc/httpd/ # wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mod-security/modsecurity-crs/0-CURRENT/modsecurity-crs_2.2.5.tar.gz # tar xzf modsecurity-crs_2.2.5.tar.gz # mv modsecurity-crs_2.2.5 modsecurity-crs # cd modsecurity-crs # cp modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf Forthly, need to configure apache: # vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf add LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2.so at the end add basic rules filter Include modsecurity-crs/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf Include modsecurity-crs/base_rules/*.conf Fifthly, restart the apache server: # /etc/init.d/httpd restart I hope I got answered you query.
