[KAMLAPURI P. <pra...@so...>]

Hello,

The issue is regarding for implementation of ModSecurity (both Version 2.8 and 2.9) over IIS 7.5 in Window server 2008 R2. I have followed below mentioned 2 link and have tried to implemented it one of our test server using below 2 link:

https://admin-ahead.com/forum/server-security-hardening-21/installing-and-configuring-mod_security-on-windows-server/

https://jesscoburn.com/archives/2013/05/14/installing-modsecurity-on-iis7-x/

Post installation of all steps and configuration in application web.config file, to ensure whether ModSecurity is working or not, I have taken the reference of above link and created a test rule:

SecRule ARGS, "zzz" phase:1,log,deny,status:503,id:1 in the modsecurity.conf file and set SecRuleEngine On

Then I have browsed application: http://localhost/Sitename/default.aspx?a=zzz. An error (503) should be expected but I am not getting any 503 error.

Setting in config:
<system.webServer> <ModSecurity enabled="true" configFile="C:\Program Files\ModSecurity IIS\modsecurity_iis.conf" /> </system.webServer>

We can see below logs in Event Viewer in given order. Below information are being logged in Event viewer in first hit of application.
