Uncomment all those lines by removing the <strong>&#8216;#&#8217;<\/strong> sign and entering the email address where you want to receive email reports when ModEvasive intercepts an attack targeted to your web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a sample of what your file should look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-apacheconf\">&lt;IfModule mod_evasive20.c&gt;\n    DOSHashTableSize 3097\n    DOSPageCount 2\n    DOSSiteCount 50\n    DOSPageInterval 1\n    DOSSiteInterval 1\n    DOSBlockingPeriod 60\n    DOSEmailNotify &lt;someone@somewhere.com&gt;\n    #DOSSystemCommand    &quot;su - someuser -c &#039;\/sbin\/... %s ...&#039;&quot;\n    DOSLogDir           &quot;\/var\/log\/mod_evasive&quot;\n&lt;\/IfModule&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CentOS \/ Fedora<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the following file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>and enter the following line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-apacheconf\">LoadModule evasive20_module \/usr\/lib\/httpd\/modules\/mod_evasive20.so<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Below that section, add the mod_evasive configuration: similar to the one above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-apacheconf\">&lt;IfModule mod_evasive20.c&gt;\n    DOSHashTableSize 3097\n    DOSPageCount 2\n    DOSSiteCount 50\n    DOSPageInterval 1\n    DOSSiteInterval 1\n    DOSBlockingPeriod 60\n    DOSEmailNotify &lt;someone@somewhere.com&gt;\n    #DOSSystemCommand    &quot;su - someuser -c &#039;\/sbin\/... %s ...&#039;&quot;\n    DOSLogDir           &quot;\/var\/log\/mod_evasive&quot;\n&lt;\/IfModule&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save and close the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Create a ModEvasive Log Directory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The default log directory is<strong> \/tmp<\/strong> but that is not where we want to save our log files. More on this later. We will have to create a mod_evasive log directory and set the appropriate permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create the directory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo mkdir \/var\/log\/mod_evasive<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Give Apache user ownership of the directory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/log\/mod_evasive<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Restart Apache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Restart Apache web server for the above changes to take effect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Debian \/ Ubuntu:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CentOS \/ Fedora:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo systemctl restart httpd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">mod_evasive Configuration Options Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSHashTableSize<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The hash table size defines the number of top-level nodes for each child&#8217;s hash table. Basically, it is the size of the table that tracks the activities of users based on their past IP addresses visits. Increasing this number will provide faster performance by decreasing the number of iterations required to get to the record. Increase this if you have a busy web server. take note that doing this will increase server memory usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSPageCount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the threshold for the number of requests a user can make for the same page (or URI) per page interval defined by the <strong>DOSPageInterval <\/strong>directive. Once the threshold for that interval has been exceeded, the IP address of the client will be added to the blocking list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSSiteCount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the threshold for the total number of requests for any object by the same client on the same listener per website interval defined in <strong>DOSSiteInterval<\/strong>. Once the threshold for that interval has been exceeded, the IP address of the client will be added to the blocking list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSPageInterval<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The interval for the <strong>DOSPageCount<\/strong> threshold; defaults to 1-second intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSSiteInterval<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The interval for the <strong>DOSSiteCount<\/strong> threshold; defaults to 1-second intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSBlockingPeriod<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The blocking period is the amount of time in seconds that a client will be blocked for if they are added to the blocking list. During this time, all subsequent requests from the client will result in a 403 (Forbidden) error and the timer being reset. Since the timer is reset for every subsequent request, it is not necessary to have a long blocking period in the event of a DoS attack as the timer will keep getting reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSEmailNotify<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If this value is set, an email will be sent to the address specified whenever an IP address becomes blacklisted. A locking mechanism using \/tmp prevents continuous emails from being sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this to work, make sure MAILER is set correctly in mod_evasive.c (or mod_evasive20.c). The default is <strong>\u201c\/bin\/mail -t %s\u201d<\/strong> where <strong>%s<\/strong> is used to denote the destination email address set in the configuration. If your setup uses an alternate mailer then you need to change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSSystemCommand<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If this value is set, the system command specified will be executed whenever an IP address becomes blacklisted. This is designed to enable system calls to ip filter or other tools. A locking mechanism using<strong> \/tmp<\/strong> prevents continuous system calls. Use %s to denote the IP address of the blacklisted IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DOSLogDir<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the directory where attacks will be logged. You will need to set up an alternate directory writable only to the user Apache is running as (usually root or www-data) as by default <strong>&#8220;\/tmp&#8221;<\/strong> will be used for the locking mechanism, which opens some security issues if your system is open to shell users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If everything is set up correctly you should have an Apache web server that is protected from DoS\/DDoS attacks using mod_evasive.
