ModSecurity is an open-source, cross-platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx that is developed by Trustwave's SpiderLabs. It has a robust event-based programming language that provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring, logging and real-time analysis. Libmodsecurity is one component of the ModSecurity v3 project. The library codebase serves as an interface to ModSecurity Connectors taking in web traffic and applying traditional ModSecurity processing. In general, it provides the capability to load/interpret rules written in the ModSecurity SecRules format and apply them to HTTP content provided by your application via Connectors. Before starting the compilation process, make sure that you have all the dependencies in place.

l7f stands for "Layer7Firewall" which is a firewall-system, that protects your application on any protocol and fits its security needs flexibly. It can be used for example as web-application firewall.
