It looks like the author knows ModSecurity given the advanced rule set
he / she proposes. But it's hard to tell if this works without testing
it by heart.
Alternatively, the ModSecurity Handbook has similar rules with the same
goal and I guarantee that those really work.
But ModSecurity is not the best tool to prevent BruteForce and Automation
anyways. At least not when it gets closer to a DoS. Mod_qos and friends are
usually better suited.
Depends on the rules. The example you linked should apparently be put
in Location context. But you can also work in server context which brings
advantages as it can be ran in phase 1. But honestly, this is really advanced
stuff and pros and cons are all very complicated and take a lot of experience.
Ahoj,
Christian
