6. Apache mod_cache DOS attack protection :-
Apache is a popular web server available for a wide variety of operating systems. The mod_cache module is one of the official plug-in modules for Apache.
A denial of service vulnerability was reported in the mod_cache module of the Apache HTTP Server. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to create a denial of service condition on an affected system.
7. Limit Request Size
By default Apache has no limit on the total size of the HTTP request i.e. unlimited and when you allow large requests on a web server its possible that you could be a victim of Denial of service attacks. We can Limit the requests size of an Apache directive “LimitRequestBody” with the directory tag.
You can set the value in bytes from 0 (unlimited) to 2147483647 (2GB) that are allowed in a request body. You can set this limit according to your site needs, Suppose you have a site where you allows uploads and you want to limit the upload size for a particular directory.
Here in this example, user_uploads is a directory which contains files uploaded by users. We are putting a limit of500K for this.
<Directory "/var/www/myweb1/user_uploads">
