I installed mod_security yesterday. Unbelievable the amount of crap it will stop in 24 hrs.
Picked up the rpm at http://rpm.pbone.net
Please be careful when doing this. It's very common (using irc support as a basis for evaluation) to have users grabbing any old rpm they come across from here and installing it. Make sure it's an rpm that's actually built for RHEL/CentOS of the appropriate version. There are a number of support requests for folks who have slapped in a fedora, mandrake, or aging redhat package only to find things are now broken.
This should be made part of the CentOS extra, contribs or whatever!!
mod_security is in the highly public EPEL 3rd party repository, as well as directly from the mod_security website, and several other 3rd party repos, jason litka, etc... While it might be nice to bring it closer to the distro, it's not exactly lacking in distribution.
