mod_evasive is a module for Apache to provide evasive action from DoS HTTP activity or DDoS attack or brute force attack.
It works by inspecting incoming traffic to an apache web server using a dynamic hash table of IP addresses and URLs, then blocks traffic from IP addresses that exceed a predetermined threshold.
