Apache Tools
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

DETAILS

Apache httpd tools is a collection of administrative and security tools
originally developed for the book Apache Security (O'Reilly).

The tool list:
* apache-monitor - monitors mod_status output and stores web server
activity in a RRD file

* apache-monitor-graph - creates pretty graphs from a RRD file populated
by the previous script (you can find an example here)

* apache-protect - monitors mod_status output to detect a DoS attack,
then uses the blacklist tool to cut the offending IP address at the
firewall

* error_log_ai - implementation of the Artificial Ignorance concept
(devised by Marcus J. Ranum) for the Apache error log

* blacklist - uses iptables to create a temporarily blacklist

* blacklist-webclient.c - a C program that can be marked suid root, and
called from a non-root script to blacklist IP addresses

* logscan - easy-to-use log analysis script, supports field names and
regular expressions (will support anti-evasion techniques in the future)

* mod_globalerror.c - Apache 2 module that allows the server to have
per-virtual host error logs and have one file where all errors are
duplicated (useful for server monitoring)
