Top 4 C++ Nginx Projects
-
ModSecurity
ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. It has a robust event-based programming language which provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring, logging and real-time analysis.
Coraza and ModSecurity have a high detection rate, but they are not adapted to reality scenarios, resulting in too many false positives.
