BinarySEC secures web applications and sites against malicious traffic
by RichardTouretBinarySEC is an intelligent web application firewall. It runs on Apache web server as a module . Its artificial intelligence engine learns normal traffic received on a website or any web application (provided it uses Apache) and is then able to stop suspicious HTTP requests. It has two modes : alert (suspicious traffic is just reported, not stopped) and blocking mode. The webmaster (or the admin) has the ability to make the AI engine learn normal traffic so that these requests' profiles generate no more false positives. After a few days, no more false alerts will appear, only suspicious traffic will have been blocked. BinarySEC is a relevant tool to harden a web application.
