Effectively, it is an intrusion detection and prevention system for the web server. . At the moment its main features are: * Audit log; store full request details in a separate file, including POST payloads. * Request filtering; incoming requests can be analysed and offensive requests can be rejected (or simply logged, if that is what you want). This feature can be used to prevent many types of attacks (e.g. XSS attacks, SQL injection, ...) and even allow you to run insecure applications on your servers (if you have no other choice, of course).
