mod_asn is an Apache module doing lookups of the autonomous system (AS)[1], and
the network prefix[2] which contains a given (clients) IP address.

It is written with scalability in mind. To do high-speed lookups, it uses the
PostgreSQL ip4r datatype[3] that is indexable with a Patricia Trie[4] algorithm to
store network prefixes. This is the only algorithm that can search through the
~250.000 existing prefixes in a breeze.

It comes with script to create such a database (and keep it up to date) with
snapshots from global routing data - from a router's "view of the
world", so to speak.

Apache-internally, the module sets the looked up data as env table variables,
for perusal by other Apache modules. In addition, it can send it as response
headers to the client.

It is published under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

This apache module redirects clients to mirror servers, using an SQL backend.

See http://mirrorbrain.org/

Author: Peter Poeml

This package contains
mod_backtrace
mod_whatkilledus
mod_crash
mod_backdoor
mod_diagnostic_filter

To enable any of the modules, use a2enmod, e.g.
"a2enmod whatkilledus"
See the source files in %{_docdir}/apache2-debugging-modules
for usage info.

Other useful debugging modules, NOT included here, but worth mentioning, are:
mod_bucketeer (ships with apache2 package)
mod_dumpio (ships with apache2 package)
mod_coredumper (needs CoreDumper library)

apache2-mod_apparmor adds support to apache2 to provide AppArmor
confinement to individual cgi scripts handled by apache modules like
mod_php and mod_perl.

This package is part of a suite of tools that used to be named
SubDomain.

Mod_auth_kerb is an Apache module designed to provide Kerberos
authentication to the Apache web server. Using the Basic Auth mechanism,
it retrieves a username/password pair from the browser and checks them
against a Kerberos server as set up by your particular organization. The
module also supports the Negotiate authentication method, which performs
full Kerberos authentication based on ticket exchanges, and does not
require users to insert their passwords to the browser.

This module uses token based authentication to secure downloads and prevent
deep-linking.

Have your PHP script or servlet generate the to authenticate the
download. Apache can then treat the download request like a normal file
transfer without having to pipe the file through a script in order to
add authentication.

mod_authn_otp is an Apache web server module for two-factor authentication using one-time passwords (OTP) generated via the HOTP/OATH algorithm defined in RFC 4226. This creates a simple way to protect a web site with one-time passwords, using any RFC 4226-compliant hardware or software token device.

mod_authn_otp supports both event and time based one-time passwords. It also supports "lingering" which allows the repeated re-use of a previously used one-time password up to a configurable maximum linger time. This allows one-time passwords to be used directly in HTTP authentication without forcing the user to enter a new one-time password for every page load.

mod_authn_otp supports both basic and digest authentication, and will auto-synchronize with the user's token within a configurable maximum offset (auto-synchronization is not supported with digest authentication).

mod_authn_otp is especially useful for setting up protected web sites that require more security than simple username/password authentication yet also don't require users to install special VPN software, and is compatible with software tokens that run on cell phones.

The Apache HTTP Daemon can be configured to require users to supply logins and
passwords before accessing pages in some directories. Authentication is the
process of checking if the password given is correct for a user. Apache has
standard modules for authenticating out of several different kinds of
databases. These external authentication modules provide a flexible tool for
creating authentication systems based on other databases.

mod_cband is an Apache 2 module provided to solve the problem of limiting
users' and virtualhosts' bandwidth usage. The current versions can set
virtualhosts' and users' bandwidth quotas, maximal download speed (like in
mod_bandwidth), requests-per-second speed and the maximal number of simultanous
IP connections (like in mod_limitipconn)

I advise using mod_cband by hosting companies, which would like to limit data
transfer for their users, such as "10 Gb of traffic per month". There already
exists the mod_curb module, which can limit data transfers, but it doesn't work
with virtualhosts and Apache 2, so I wrote my own module fully compatible with
Apache 2 API and supporting per-user and per-virtualhost bandwidth limiting

mod_chroot makes running Apache in a secure chroot environment easy. You
don't need to create a special directory hierarchy
containing /dev, /lib, /etc...

mod_dnssd is an Apache HTTPD module which adds Zeroconf support via
DNS-SD using Avahi.

FastCGI is a language independent, scalable, and open extension to CGI
that provides high performance without the limitations of server
specific APIs.

mod_fastcgi is a free open-source Apache HTTPD module.

FastCGI applications are very fast because they are persistent. There
is no per-request startup and initialization overhead.

A binary compatibile alternative to the Apache
module mod_fastcgi.

The module implements an efficient process pool management for external
CGI program invocation. The pool of CGI programs is mapped against the
pool of apache workers in such way that there is always a weighted number
of programs waiting for requests in the pool.

To load the module into Apache, run the command "a2enmod fcgid" as
root.

See /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_fcgid.conf and
/usr/share/doc/packages/apache2-mod_fcgid for configuration.

mod_geoip looks up the IP address of the client end user in MaxMind's GeoIP
country database.

mod_ip_count is a DoS prevention apache module. It works by
restricting the number of requests that a given client can issue
to a server pool.

This package provides modules for Apache to invisibly integrate Tomcat
capabilities into an existing Apache installation.

mod_limitipconn is a DSO module for the apache web server to
limit the maximum number of simultaneous connections per IP
address. Allows inclusion and exclusion of files based on MIME
type.

mod_memcache manages the parsing of memcached server configuration and exports
a single function for use by other modules to access a configured apr_memcache
object.

ModSecurity is an intrusion detection and prevention engine for Web applications (sometimes called a Web application firewall). Operating embedded or as part of an Apache reverse proxy, it increases Web application security, protecting Web applications from known and unknown attacks. It is flexible and easy to configure. It monitors HTTP traffic (including POST payloads), detects or prevents attacks, enhances logging, performs anti-evasion, and allows administrators to create custom rules to suit their specific needs. It excels in HTTP traffic monitoring and just-in-time vulnerability patching.
