WHAT IS MOD_DOSEVASIVE ?

mod_dosevasive is an evasive maneuvers module for Apache to provide evasive action in the event of an HTTP DoS or DDoS attack or brute force attack.
It is also designed to be a detection tool, and can be easily configured to talk to ipchains, firewalls, routers, and etcetera.

Detection is performed by creating an internal dynamic hash table of IP Addresses and URIs, and denying any single IP address from any of the following:

- Requesting the same page more than a few times per second
- Making more than 50 concurrent requests on the same child per second
- Making any requests while temporarily blacklisted (on a blocking list)

This method has worked well in both single-server script attacks as well as distributed attacks, but just like other evasive tools, is only as
useful to the point of bandwidth and processor consumption (e.g. the amount of bandwidth and processor required to receive/process/respond
to invalid requests), which is why it's a good idea to integrate this with your firewalls and routers.

This module instantiates for each listener individually, and therefore has a built-in cleanup mechanism and scaling capabilities. Because of this,
legitimate requests are never compromised but only scripted attacks.
Even a user repeatedly clicking on 'reload' should not be affected unless they do it maliciously.

Two different module sources have been provided:

Apache v1.3 API: mod_dosevasive.c
Apache v2.0 API: mod_dosevasive20.c


HOW IT WORKS

A web hit request comes in. The following steps take place:

- The IP address of the requestor is looked up on the temporary blacklist
- The IP address of the requestor and the URI are both hashed into a "key".
A lookup is performed in the listener's internal hash table to determine
if the same host has requested this page more than once within the past 1 second.
- The IP address of the requestor is hashed into a "key".
A lookup is performed in the listerner's internal hash table to determine
if the same host has requested more than 50 objects within the past second (from the same child).

If any of the above are true, a 403 response is sent.
This conserves bandwidth and system resources in the event of a DoS attack.
Additionally, a system command and/or an email notification can also be triggered to block all the originating addresses of a DDoS attack.

Once a single 403 incident occurs, mod_dosevasive now blocks the entire IP address for a period of 10 seconds (configurable).
If the host requests a
page within this period, it is forced to wait even longer.
Since this is triggered from requesting the same URL multiple times per second, this again does not affect legitimate users.

The blacklist can/should be configured to talk to your network's firewalls and/or routers to push the attack out to the front lines, but this is not required.

mod_dosevasive also performs syslog reporting using daemon.alert. Messages
will look like this:

Aug 6 17:41:49 elijah mod_dosevasive[23184]: [ID 801097 daemon.alert] Blacklisting address x.x.x.x: possible DoS attack.


WHAT IS THIS TOOL USEFUL FOR?

This tool is *excellent* at fending off small to medium-sized request-based DoS attacks or script attacks and brute force attacks.
Its features will prevent you from wasting bandwidth or having a few thousand CGI scripts running as a result of an attack.
When used in conjunction with other preventative measures such as router blackholing, this tool is very effective against larger DDoS attacks as well.

If you do not have an infrastructure capable of fending off any other types of DoS attacks, chances are this tool will only help you to the point of
your total bandwidth or server capacity for sending 403's.
Without a solid infrastructure and DoS evasion plan in place, a heavy distributed DoS will most likely still take you offline.


HOW TO INSTALL

APACHE v1.3
-----------

Without DSO Support:

1. Extract this archive into src/modules in the Apache source tree
2. Run ./configure --add-module=src/modules/dosevasive/mod_dosevasive.c
3. make, install
4. Restart Apache


With DSO Support, Ensim, or CPanel:

1. $APACHE_ROOT/bin/apxs -iac mod_dosevasive.c
2. Restart Apache


APACHE v2.0
-----------

1. Extract this archive
2. Run $APACHE_ROOT/bin/apxs -i -a -c mod_dosevasive20.c
3. The module will be built and installed into $APACHE_ROOT/modules, and loaded into your httpd.conf
4. Restart Apache


CONFIGURATION

mod_dosevasive has default options configured, but you may also add the following block to your httpd.conf:


APACHE v1.3
-----------


DOSHashTableSize 3097
DOSPageCount 2
DOSSiteCount 50
DOSPageInterval 1
DOSSiteInterval 1
DOSBlockingPeriod 10


APACHE v2.0
-----------

DOSHashTableSize 3097
DOSPageCount 2
DOSSiteCount 50
DOSPageInterval 1
DOSSiteInterval 1
DOSBlockingPeriod 10


Optionally you can also add the following directives:

DOSEmailNotify [email protected]
DOSSystemCommand "su - someuser -c '/sbin/... %s ...'"

You will also need to add this line if you are building with dynamic support:

APACHE v1.3
-----------
AddModule mod_dosevasive.c


APACHE v2.0
-----------
LoadModule dosevasive20_module modules/mod_dosevasive20.so

(This line is already added to your configuration by apxs)


DOSHashTableSize
----------------
The hash table size defines the number of top-level nodes for each child's hash table.
Increasing this number will provide faster performance by decreasing the number of iterations required to get to the record, but consume more memory for table space.
You should increase this if you have a busy web server.
The value you specify will automatically be tiered up to the next prime number in the primes list (see mod_dosevasive.c for a list of primes used).


DOSPageCount
------------
This is the threshhold for the number of requests for the same page (or URI) per page interval.
Once the threshhold for that interval has been exceeded, the IP address of the client will be added to the blocking list.


DOSSiteCount
------------
This is the threshhold for the total number of requests for any object by the same client on the same listener per site interval.
Once the threshhold
for that interval has been exceeded, the IP address of the client will be added to the blocking list.


DOSPageInterval
---------------
The interval for the page count threshhold; defaults to 1 second intervals.


DOSSiteInterval
---------------
The interval for the site count threshhold; defaults to 1 second intervals.


DOSBlockingPeriod
-----------------
The blocking period is the amount of time (in seconds) that a client will be blocked for if they are added to the blocking list.
During this time, all subsequent requests from the client will result in a 403 (Forbidden) and the timer being reset (e.g. another 10 seconds).
Since the timer is reset for every subsequent request, it is not necessary to have a long blocking period; in the event of a DoS attack, this timer will keep getting reset.


DOSEmailNotify
--------------

If this value is set, an email will be sent to the address specified
whenever an IP address becomes blacklisted. A locking mechanism using /tmp
prevents continuous emails from being sent.

NOTE: Be sure MAILER is set correctly in mod_dosevasive.c
(or mod_dosevasive20.c). The default is "/bin/mail -t %s" where %s is
used to denote the destination email address set in the configuration.
If you are running on linux or some other operating system with a
different type of mailer, you'll need to change this.


DOSSystemCommand
----------------
If this value is set, the system command specified will be executed whenever an IP address becomes blacklisted.
This is designed to enable system calls to ip filter or other tools.
A locking mechanism using /tmp prevents continuous system calls.
Use %s to denote the IP address of the blacklisted IP.


WHITELISTING IP ADDRESSES

As of version 1.8, IP addresses of trusted clients can be whitelisted to insure they are never denied.
The purpose of whitelisting is to protect software, scripts, local searchbots, or other automated tools from being denied for requesting large amounts of data from the server.
Whitelisting should *not* be used to add customer lists or anything of the sort, as this will open the server to abuse.
This module is very difficult to trigger without performing some type of malicious attack, and for that reason it is more appropriate to allow the module to decide on its own whether or not an individual customer should be blocked.

To whitelist an address (or range) add an entry to the Apache configuration
in the following fashion:

DOSWhitelist 127.0.0.1
DOSWhitelist 127.0.0.*


Wildcards can be used on up to the last 3 octets if necessary.
Multiple DOSWhitelist commands may be used in the configuration.


TWEAKING APACHE

The keep-alive settings for your children should be reasonable enough to keep each child up long enough to resist a DOS attack (or at least part of one).
For every child that exits, another 5-10 copies of the page may get through before putting the attacker back into '403 Land'.
With this said,
you should have a very high MaxRequestsPerChild, but not unlimited as this will prevent cleanup.

You'll want to have a MaxRequestsPerChild set to a non-zero value, as DosEvasive cleans up its internal hashes only on exit.
The default MaxRequestsPerChild is usually 10000.
This should suffice in only allowing a few requests per 10000 per child through in the event of an attack (although if you use DOSSystemCommand to firewall the IP address, a hole will no longer be open in between child cycles).


TESTING

Want to make sure it's working? Run test.pl, and view the response codes.
If the target machine is not localhost, be sure to change it in the script first.
You should receive 403 responses after the first 25-50 requests, depending on your server configuration.
Please don't use this script to DoS others without their permission.
