Hi all, I realised that there are some differences between versions 3.3 and 4.0. I do mention the following rulesets, not included in 4.0:


I am using ModSecurity 3.0.12.

Is there some reason not to include these rules in the crs4.0/main branch?

Can the rules be copied or adapted to make this work in crs4.0/main?

Thanks!

Hi Emilio,

> I do mention the following rulesets, not included in 4.0:

File REQUEST-922-MULTIPART-ATTACK.conf IS part of 4.0, see this link, or see the latest release.

The DOS protection and the exclusion subsets are available as plugins. See CRS plugin-registry repository. There you can see the DOS protection plugin too.

Well, CRS 3.3 is CRS 3.3, and CRS 4.0 is CRS 4.0 :). But as I explained, 922-MULTIPART subset is still part of CRS 4, I assume that's a mistake.

The other subset is still available, but as a plugin.

I suggest you to read the documentation of plugin that you require, and follow those steps.
