In this guide, we will show you an easy way to install mod_security on a cPanel VPS, including rules to protect from MySQL injection and web attacks.
Mod_security is a web application firewall module for Apache web server, and can provide extremely safe protection against web-based attacks, when configured properly.
2. Follow the prompts to rebuild using your last saved profile, or the default profile. Ensure Mod_Security is selected in the installation choices.
3. Wait for the rebuild to complete (20-30 minutes).
Log in to your server’s console, terminal, or access remotely via SSH. You will need root privileges. Run the following commands to download and install the ConfigServer ModSec Control (CMC) plugin for WHM:
1. Refresh the WHM interface and navigate to Plugins > ModSec Control.
2. Switch the state to ‘On‘ and save to activate the web firewall.
3. Scroll down to ConfigServer ModSecurity Tools and select modsec2.user.conf to Edit.
Here, you can copy in a ruleset. Rules are directives for mod_security to use when screening web server activity, instructing mod_security what events to check for, and what actions to take.
The best mod_security rules will greatly depend on your server and the application(s) you are hosting. We have provided an example ruleset below, which defines basic directives to help protect from MySQL injection, PHP, and other web server abuse.
