Said another way, this project provides a communication channel between nginx and libmodsecurity. This connector is required to use LibModSecurity with nginx. The ModSecurity-nginx connector takes the form of an nginx module. The module simply serves as a layer of communication between nginx and ModSecurity. Notice that this project depends on libmodsecurity rather than ModSecurity (version 2.9 or less). What is the difference between this project and the old ModSecurity add-on for nginx? The old version uses ModSecurity standalone, which is a wrapper for Apache internals to link ModSecurity to nginx. This current version is closer to nginx, consuming the new libmodsecurity which is no longer dependent on Apache. As a result, this current version has less dependencies, fewer bugs, and is faster. In addition, some new functionality is also provided - such as the possibility of use of global rules configuration with per directory/location customizations (e.g. SecRuleRemoveById). Compilation Before compile this software make sure that you have libmodsecurity installed. You can download it from the ModSecurity git repository. For information pertaining to the compilation and installation of libmodsecurity please consult the documentation provided along with it.
