+ModSecurity(tm) is an open source, free web application firewall (WAF)
+Apache module. WAFs are deployed to establish an external security layer
+that increases security, detects and prevents attacks before they reach web
+applications. It provides protection from a range of attacks against web
+applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring and real-time analysis
+with little or no changes to existing infrastructure.
+
+You can get started with ModSecurity by adding the following lines to the
+appropriate sections of Apache's main configuration file (x86
+architecture):
+
+LoadModule security2_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_security2.so
+Include /etc/httpd/extra/modsecurity-recommended.conf
+
+This SlackBuild will also verify the package's PGP signature
+if the following conditions are met:
+
+- You have GnuPG installed
+- You have the appropriate public PGP key (0x6980F8B0)
+ in your trustedkeys.gpg keyring
+- You have downloaded the sig file from
+ http://www.modsecurity.org/download/modsecurity-apache_${VERSION}.tar.gz.asc
