Subject: [Modsecurity] Disable mod_security in .htaccess
Message-ID: <8FB49BBFFBF42D43BEA4DB36F735CDA92C5735@UNRX.unr.edu>

I'm trying to disable mod_security 2.0 for a particular user in their
.htaccess:

 

I tried using:

  SecFilterEngine Off

  SecFilterScanPOST Off

 

But they do not work in 2.0.

 

Then I tried using:

  SecRuleEngine off

 

and got this error:

 

[Tue Apr 17 16:42:04 2007] [alert] [client 192.168.1.1]
/web/htdocs/license/.htaccess: SecRuleEngine not allowed here, referer:
http://www.site.com/license/index.html

 

Is it possible to do this?  If so, what am I doing wrong?

Subject: [Modsecurity] LocationMatch question
Message-ID: <4625D8F9.6080300@x-provi.de>

Hello,

sorry im an new in mod_sec. I have some problems with some rules und 
solve this with the location match. But i wonder cause i make an exclude 
rules and this doesnt help. If there is any sign after my string i have 
to use ".*" right ? But whats up with folders and signs before "/".

For example this is the string:

<LocationMatch "/newreply.php?do=postreply&t=.*">
SecFilterRemove 300018
</LocationMatch>

But the root directory is "/forum/newreply.php?do=postreply&t=13 ......" 
With the folder "forum" before.

I have to use a wildcard before the string 
"/newreply.php?do=postreply&t=.*"?

greets Holm

Is it possible your AllowOverride settings
don't allow you to use .htaccess for this?

That's just a wild guess.

Message-ID: <200704211702.35252.drear@iki.fi>

Hi,

I just joined to this list and therefore started a new thread, although there 
was a similar one already. But surely mod_magnet deserves another thread, 
likewise Lighttpd generally.

I concur with the earlier comment in that the only thing holding me back is 
the lack of equivalent rules to use and compare. In every other field 
Lighttpd fits my needs much better than the predominant server. And 
presumably I am not alone.

Thus, has anyone looked into porting some of the generic rules? If nothing 
else, few examples would make me much more confident in writing my own rules 
with mod_magnet and lua.

Thanks, and with a reference to the earlier discussion,

Jukka Ruohonen.

Subject: [Modsecurity] parameters in LocationMatch
Message-ID: <462A6514.3060809@x-provi.de>

Hello,

I dont understand, if its possible to use something like the following 
in a LocationMatch directive. I had to make some excludes. For example:

you say in exclude.conf:

#PhpBB posting
<LocationMatch "/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=posting&mode=reply.*">
SecFilterRemove 300013
</LocationMatch>

ok, there is the query string "?name=PNphpBB2&file=posting&mode=reply.*" 
It seems to work.

At the other side this not working for me:

"/admin/content_manager.php?action=edit&coID=10"

Why?  Is it possible to use any query string in a LocationMatch directive?

For example this isnt working, too:

<LocationMatch "/newreply.php?do=postreply&t=.*">
SecFilterRemove 300018
</LocationMatch>

Thats the mod_sec log:

fun you should mention it, I'm experimenting with this now.  It shows
promise.  I'll post some experimental generic rules soon, just need to
nail some annoying bugs.

Just thought you should know that rule 340000 in the modsec 2 rules 
completely blocked me from accessing my websites.

The entry from my error log:
